Yes, Jess, certainly a weird episode and finale. The weakest episode thus far, or at least the one I enjoyed the least. Chore though it was to get through, seeing your reaction where you largely felt the same way/had the same problems that I had with it, does go a long way in making up for it. And I am pleased to hear you say that watching Next Gen is such a good time that this episode doesn’t put a damper on things. I generally agree with that, though this episode tested that some. It is as you said, we had two plots that, on paper, aren’t bad, yet neither gets explored particularly well. The cryofreeze plot, I don’t mind what they were going for, I mind how they presented it. Offenhouse was insufferable, though I give credit to Peter Mark Richman for the performance. I share everything that you expressed about him. Quite liked how you apologized for being rude, but when his insufferable nature persisted, you double-downed. I second the desire for Picard to bitchslap Offenhouse. That would have been a grand sight to see. If I were in his shoes, I’d have done it, then said, “Look, fuckstick, we’re dealing with a highly sensitive and potentially dangerous situation right now, ergo I don’t have time to deal with a wannabe Gordon Gekko such as yourself. So, why don’t you just sit down and shut the fuck up before I snap your dick off and jam it up your ass.” Incidentally, Offenhouse was originally supposed to be none other. Than Harcourt. Fenton. Mudd. After giving it some thought, I’ve decided, and I hate the words coming out of my mouth, Mudd would have been preferable if for no other reason than to see Picard make mincemeat of Mudd. Preferably with Picard being aware of who Mudd is, and see him yell, “That IDIOT!?! We got to deal with HIM!?!” Alas, Roger C. Carmel died before production, hence our being stuck with Offenhouse. And yeah, you know a man is bad when you were more agreeable to Clemonds, chauvinistic pig though he was. I did enjoy Leon Rippy’s performance as Clemonds, and there was amusement how unbothered he was in rolling with the situation. He’s still definitely losing a hand after that scene with Beverly; I concur with you, Jess, that that is the rule. And sadly, that ends up being Beverly’s final scene of the season. And salt is rubbed into that wound when factoring in certain behind-the-scenes information, I’ll save my virulent tangent about that for later. I do share your feeling the sorriest for Clare being stuck in the situation, everyone and everything that she’s known and loved are dead and/or gone, all because her husband screwed her over, that dumb Donald. I too quite enjoyed and was touched by Marina expertly playing Deanna’s scenes of kindness, and Gracie Harrison was good as Clare. The Romulan plot, as mentioned, sadly gets short-changed, though as it serves as more a portent of future events, it gets something of a pass, and I did greatly appreciate the performances of both Marc Alaimo and Anthony James. Another small highlight was your reaction to Worf’s one scene where Picard successfully cools Worf down. A nice little showcase of how much Worf respects Picard. So, though I wish we concluded on a stronger note, I have so adored sharing the first season of Next Gen with you, Jess. I thank you for the reaction, the lovely time thus far, and I look forward to what’s to come.

Although I have to admit that I'm not particularly envious of how the threesome from the late 20th Century arrived in the 24th, I wouldn't mind a second chance in the future that Gene Roddenberry foresaw. Would be my ideal. Well, we're stuck with what we've got. Just as Picard said when in the Paris simulation, "Enough of this self-indulgence! Exit!" Actually, I rather liked this episode. maybe that is because I like time juxtapositions and, as opposed to Space Seed, this one is relatively harmless.

Carmel was only 54, and his cause of death was listed as "Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy," which is literally just something doctors say to sound impressive when they have no idea why someone's heart gave out. And he packed an incredible amount of work into that short time, one of those people who seem to just instantly say yes to any job put in front of them. But boy, Roddenberry must have really seen something special in him to make him the only original series guest star to have a return appearance AND want to bring him back for the new show. The really weird thing about Offenhouse is that for a while it seems like the episode is building to a moment where his having such a similar personality to the Romulans will let him bridge the gap between them, but then suddenly decides to keep going with the idea that being from the 20th century is almost as bad as saying on Twitter that you like The Last Jedi, so he only gets to say one thing that Picard was about to say anyway, so shut up. Apparently there's a few novels that pick this idea up and also have him become an ambassador to the Ferengi.
