Mini Review #56: Star Trek TNG "Journey's End" (Patreon)

It felt so good being back in the world of TNG! I forgot how much I loved the characters, the world, and the flipping sexy Enterprise! I watched this episode in preparation for the DS9 season 2 Maquis two parter and I am very interested to see how this connects to those episodes. I'm assuming they will be about this boarder agreement between the Cardassians and the Federation which I would be super excited to see. So Wesley became a McChicken GOD in this episode. Where did that come from? Maybe it had been set up a lot in TNG but it came as a surprise to me when all of a sudden Wesley could freeze time and explore different planes of existence. Everything I loved about TNG, as well as Star Trek as a whole, was in this episode. The characters were great, the storyline was tense and exciting, and the real world parallels explored with the displacement of Indigenous people was superb and was a great message to send to viewers.
