HOLY! WALTER KOENIG! YOU GUYS ARE LEGIT! I always get nostalgic when I see Walter. Love him!!!
Starstruck. Just…WOW
At the IMAX theater in Atlanta we screamed with joy when we saw Walter's cameo, and then again at the end when we saw John De Lancie!
No way! You watched it in a theater! I am so jealous.
I would LOVE to see the final episode in IMAX!
I was at the IMAX in Seattle and the theater really lit-up when we saw and heard that. Also the point when Seven chose her legacy "go" phrase - that we didn't get to hear. Fun talking about that in the discussion later in this episode.
I loved when Riker says, "Take good care of her Geordi." as they're leaving the Bridge. And Geordi says, "She's always taken care of us." Reminded me of Old Man McCoy's line from "Encounter at Farpoint".
Another great moment was when Q appears to Jack and says, "I was hoping THE NEXT GENERATION wouldn't think so Linear." A nice call back to the final episode of TNG when he says, "It's time to put an end to your TREK through the STARS."
I watched the episode, heard the opening, thought, "That's a nice nod to Chekov and TOS." Hours pass and it suddenly hits me: Chekov's first name was Pavel, not Anton. Then I remembered about what happened to the Anton Yelchin, and got a bit choked up that they were paying homage to a great character and actor at the same time. So moved was I that I called my best friend, also a Trekkie who has, alas, fallen victim to time and been out of touch, to share this. I'm just disgusted it took my memory so long to make the connections between the different movies, series, actors and characters, and the rest of the mind for not checking the credits to see it was Walter who did the voice over in the first place.
Michael Dorn played Worf's grandfather or father in one of the original series films as well. I believe it was the Undiscovered Country.
Colonel Worf at Kirk's trial
crap I forgot about that
Grandfather
What a day for the Star Trek ages!!! 🖖❤️🥹👏🥹🥹🥹🖖
Wow. Chekov & Shaw watching the finale together? To be a fly on the wall.
Worf had great moments this season.
The line of " there is always possibilities" was said by Lenny Nimoy in the Wrath of Khan.
“A lot has happened in the last 20 years.” #TeamTerry #TerryTrek
There was similar thing done in TNG I believe when Picard went undercover as Galen.
I think it was Spock who said there are always possibilities.
Thanks for doing this. The 7thRule Rules
Cirroc paying gratitude to Walter was so great to watch!
Funny, I would have liked to have seen Ciroc in this episode!
YES! We need a Ciroc appearance.
Oh, my heart still skips a beat when I hear Checkov's voice. 😊
Love seeing Walter. The way they honored him and Anton Yelchin in the last episode of Picard was deeply moving, and totally unexpected, which made it even better. 🖖
It’s so great to see Walter! He was at a Trek con in Chicago a year or two ago and was hilarious and kind.
Thanks, Ryan! Thanks, Cirroc! Thanks, Walter! Thanks, Scott! Thanks, Melissa! Thanks, Eve! Thanks, Matt! Thanks, Steve! 🎙 #The7thRule #StarTrek #StarTrekPicard #WalterKoenig
They used a phaser to transport Picard in an episode called Gambit. It a was a group of mercs that wanted to kidnap him and fake his death or something like that. I can’t quite recall the details but it was only done once and offscreen. Season 7 two parter.
Ah, I was confusing another TNG episode "Higher Ground" where a group of terrorists kidnap Crusher and they used like a teleport that was toxic to living tissue. I was under the impression that Crusher was shot and teleported. But again, was confusing that with your assessment in "Gambit".
Of course, Anton Chekov is a fitting tribute to the late Anton Yelchin who played Pavel Chekov in the Kelvin timeline films.
That was probably my biggest "fangirl moment" of the whole series. They may have had loads of old characters back, or referenced old episodes, but to hear the name "Anton Chekov" and then realise it was Walter saying it was really something.
@@its_llew At first I thought, "Anton Chekov, the writer?" But then it hit me and it was an, "Oh of course!" moment.
Michael Dorn played Worf's grandfather as Kirk defense attorney in ST VI Undiscovered Country from what I recall.
As for the poker game, I read an interview with Terry Matalas where he said they actually just let the camera roll for a long time (can’t remember if it said 45 minutes or two hours) and had the cast just play poker and chat ad lib in character. Apparently they’re thinking of including it as a special feature somewhere.
Snoring Worf after a rough shift is the most relatable moment on Trek for me.
Fully agreed that Laris should have been there. Spending two seasons setting that relationship up only to completely forget about her was one of the few disappointments.
gon be goood
Amazing how a good writer/producer who actually cares about canon, characters, and the franchise can make something so awesomely awesome.
The TNG episode Gambit, Part 1, the merc-pirates used phasers to beam out artifacts and people.
Walter Koenig!!! What a great and welcome surprise to hear your voice in the episode!! Thank you for all your years of star trek entertainment. You have been a welcome part of the majority of my life.
he's a living legend. we're so blessed that he is still alive and well.
Walters bookcases look AMAZING!
‘The borg are hiding in the gases of Uranus’ is classic!
They actually really played poker in the last scene, for some time, terry said in an interview. They played a few games, and terry just kept the csmera rolling to get some footage. But there was no directing, just the cast being friends and having fun.
Omgomgomgomg!!!!
I didn't think I was a big fan of the D. But these 2 episodes showed me I cared more about it than I realized. But the E is my favorite. And I always connect with the ships. They are characters to me. Janeway even thinks of Voyager as a person. I do too.
What a legend, Walter is - still eager to please the fans. proper grateful for this special presentation.
We love you Walter!! That was a nice treat in the finale even if just your voice and that call back to TVH.
I loved watching this guy growing up!!!!! And I loved watching his son on Growing pains!!!!!!
Wow -- I'm really glad we got such a positive, happy and uplifting finale to the Picard series! Excellent! And another great 7th Rule review (with special guest Walter/Chekov). I do hope we'll be getting a Picard spinoff series (Star Trek: Legacy -- make it so!). But until then, big Thanks to Terry Matalas and crew for giving the TNG characters their much-deserved Happily Ever After!🥹😀👍🏻💝👏🏻👏🏻
Worf and Colonel Worf, CAPT Worf’s grandfather in Undiscovered Country is an indirect offspring.
Yup. I guess one could pedant it by saying that he played his original character’s ancestor rather than offspring, but definitely two generations of the same family.
Also you could say Kate Mulgrew for playing her ancestor in 11:59
They need to bring that cook back. Periodically just checking in. And Captain Seven looking at him like......dude.....you kicked serious ass even if it wasn't your job.
Wow! I had no idea this channel existed! So happy!
Jolene Blalock plays T'Pol's ancestor (great grandmother, IIRC?) in Carbon Creek.
I think Paramount, or powers that be, should have a contest and let the fans choose or suggest what Seven's "warp-line" should be-much like NASA did for the Mars Perseverance Rover.
Strike that! No borg…that sounds like a good idea.
I don't like being wrong, but I do enjoy owning up to being wrong! Episode 9 lowered my expectations for a "grand" finale. Boy was I mistaken!!! Episode 10 was was excellent, from beginning to end! Well done!!! The Star Trek franchise is the best science fiction in the world. For me there isn't even a close second! lol Star Trek is the reason why I've never seen more than a clip of the entire Star Wars series!😂The characters in Star Wars clips always looked silly as hell to me, compared to Star Trek characters. I tried to watch the Orville, and although I liked the graphics, the characters didn't seem to behave like any type of real soldiers. Season 3 of Picard is already legendary as far as I'm concerned! Star Trek forever!❤
Lol… soldiers? If you are looking for a show about soldiers, why are you even watching Star Trek or the Orville? Wrong genre entirely.
lol At you for wasting your time! I don't care what you think! But I hope that getting it off of your breast has been a cathartic experience for you!😂😂😂
THANK YOU WALTER! Chekov has ALWAYS been one of my favorite trek characters! I always have wished we got more chekov! And while this wasn’t much, it seriously put a HUGE childish grin on my face, had to rewind and listen again. Wish we coulda seen him on screen, but nonetheless this was a fantastic surprise!
Anyone else notice how when Seven, Rafi and Jack are on the Enterprise G bridge, Seven look a lot like Captain Janeway(her former Captain and mentor) with her hands on her hips?
I'm just a man doing a job...
A level of humility that Shatner will never have.
Class act.
The phaser/transporter thing was in the TNG ep GAMBIT. Which was a great two parter! It's also great to see more folks jumping in the comments!!
Also had something rather similar in Insurrection with the isolinear tags
Truly was blown away by Koenig returning. Now all but Nichelle Nicholas sadly from original cast have made a appearance on Trek post TOS
Great acting in the finale, but it was too short, too condensed, and leave quite a few threads unaddressed. What did Work sacrifice? What was the deal with Changeling gang and the click language? Why was Jack a super soldier (once)? What about Lariss and pretty much anything else from Season 1 and 2?
It did hurry things along a bit more than I thought ideal, but I can understand that last-episode hurry-up. But yes, I did wish Laris had got a conclusion. I may be old-school, but I really liked the Laris/Picard relationship.
In the episode of next generation “The Gambit” they used a transporting phaser that made it appear that people were vaporized.
Loved it, love what you guys are doing.. For Terry Matalas: now do DS9
I was delighted to watch the finale on IMAX. So much fun and so many Easter eggs like Walter Koenig voicing his beloved Pavel Chekov's son Anton. Frosting on the cake was being part of the discussion in this episode of The 7th Rule!
The So'na shot transporter-markers at the Bakus and the Enterprise-crew in Insurrection.
episode 4 is the one that wrecked me the most. That captain dipshit wolf 359 speech still gets to me.
The transporter phaser thing reminds me of the iso-linear tags used by the Sonja in ST : Insurrection to beam up the Baku as they fled their village.
I have to give huge props to Jonathan Frakes and Mirina Sitris for their arc. I know all too well the trauma of losing a child, and they nailed it. Watching their arc brought back all the feels for me and was cathartic.
I love Walter Koenig's comic collection :D
the phaser teleport idea was in Star Trek insurrection, but it was a projectile not a beam
ohhhh there was one other thing I can think of with transporter weapons. DS9 field of fire. They had the shotgun that uses a transporter to beam the bullet to its destination.
Another great review! Thank you for these videos
I know in one of the Romulan missions in Star Trek Online you use a phaser (or whatever energy weapon you've got) to beam a prisoner out of the clutches of the Tal Shiar. I'm struggling to recall if that was a trick ever done in the show though.
Gambit pt 1
Picard plays cards !!!!!!!!!!!
This got to be an alternate universe
if anyone hasn't brought this up... Michael Dorn played his own grandfather in Star Trek 6, but i think that is only in the Extended DVD Edition
there was a cute little Asian kid on an episode of TOS and he played a bridge extra on an episode of TNG about 20 years later, i suppose they couls also be related.
Who did Janeway inhabit when she went back in time for the bookshop in "our" times? she could be another actor playing the descendent of themselves, kinda.
Vorta.... Coombes 😂
11:59.....great episode.
The phasers are transporters is an idea I came up with back 94 or so. I wanted to make a star trek mod for doom. I was trying to come up with new weapons. Eventually I got the idea.....what if you could beam someone to death? So I had a device that would 1 shot anything in the game. It was so powerful that even a temporary invincibility powerup wouldn't work. I called it the transporter code 13 weapon. Transporter code 13 was from the TNG episode Captain's Holiday. lol For balance I made each shot very expensive though. It's basically the BFG 9000 remapped. But this was intended to kill, not to isolate. However even if I wanted to isolate.............I have no idea how I'd do that given the limitations of what you could do with doom back then. One of the coolest things I figured out was how to have the corridor explode with a hull breach and a forcefield snaps in place. Originally there was no explosion, but eventually I got explosions added as well. I even recreated the death by transporter scene from the motion picture. lol
Walter's voice was so impactful!! Great season!!
Perhaps the symbols represent a shoutout to alpha epsilon 9, which is a reference to the V'ger probe. Many believe or have summized that this probe was associated with the Borg. There are also 2 fraternities at Emerson College, Alpha phi omega and alpha epsilon phi which Matalas could be referencing as he did attend the college.
Are you thinking of the episode child's play where they used the combadges to transport the ferengi into the transport of a room behind a shield.
The picard you saw in season 3 IMO is the picard I saw in TNG.....just not the first season. He mellows out. There is an episode in season 4 involving kids that I think especially helped a lot.
What an interview
wow thank you for this
As for s4 or spinoff, have both! A spin-off with the Ent-G, and a season 4 of Picard… but Picard’s done his duty and now retired properly, and the whole season is a sitcom set in and around the Picard vineyard. Picard, Laris and Beverly live at the vineyard trying to pretend they’re not a throuple, Riker and Troi run a jazz club in the village, Data runs a local chattery and tutors maths at the high school, LaForge runs the garage and has an elaborately fitted out shed where he invents stuff…
Phaser Transporter Reminds me of Ricky and Morty or before that Sliders. Enjoy the show.. Polite wave to Walter. Love Original Trek or simply Star Trek.
It was kinda done in Insurrection and DS9.
In season 2 we had the mostly ok borg queen of Annie Wershing. My biggest disapointment this season (besides the dim lighting) was the fact that they didn't bring her back. Ok yeah they had beautiful borg queen in season 2. They could have had her be wrecked and mangled borg queen in this season. That would have meant more than a random borg queen we've never seen before.
I'm am SO jelly of those that got to see the IMAX screening....
There is one other time I can thing of. Picard and company are turned into children. Ferengi take over the ship. Captain and crew (including alexander) basically played a game of tag with the ferengi. And "your it" means being beamed into the transporter room behind a forcefield.
Gigantisches Finale PERFEKT !!!!!!
re Mr.Koenig's story-- is there anyone here who *doesn't* believe that phone call must have come from Rick Berman?
You see, Koenig had been asked to write a few scripts for Star Trek: The Animated Series back in the day, and all of his own scripts had been rejected as "too woke" basically, but more to the point he had been blacklisted for raising a fuss about a script that he rightly found to be very offensive and condescending and stereotyped in it's portrayal of indigenous and tribal peoples. For that he was branded a "trouble maker" by the Bermanish studio execs who ran all media back then.... probably Berman decided that it was muuuuch too 'uppity' for a potential guest-star to want to have ANY creative say in his own episode and he construed it as a challenge to his own author-itay. But also he's on record as saying that he hated the idea of TOS characters ever appearing on TNG. He even opposed them *mentioning* Spock at all, in an episode that was *about Spock's father*. >.>
It was a great episode. We need the Siskos back!
They actually did kill the transporter chief. Seven found his corpse.
Star Trek the Motion Picture: the son of Commodore Decker.
Another thought before the end.... Kira Janeway 7 Raffi walk into a bar...
Damn now I want more
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hello once again Walter
It's great to see how many comments the podcast is getting these days!!!!!
OMG I was laughing so hard at the limerick. I'm like like is he going to actually say it this time? Sadly no......he got interrupted again. That's from the naked now.
yo are those star trek books behind Walter? If so thats some dedication to your craft sir.
One last Question - will you review the Section 31 movie and maybe other mirror universe episodes as "Mirror versions" of yourselves? pls 🙏
I agree with Malissa, and didn't think about it when I saw it, about the racial profiling of the Changelings.
The solution was similar to Blowing the death staup
Finally real STAR TREK since STAR TREK Enterprise
Great show y’all
I met Walter at a con. He and George Takei had been signing autographs for a few hours but they both stopped and shook my hand and gave me a free autograph. The classic trek cast were the nicest sci-fi actors I ever met. Other shows (non-trek), meh.
I'm confused by the racial profiling issue that was brought up. They had to find all the remaining changelings that had infiltrated Starfleet. I wouldn't call that profiling in a way that infringes on individual rights....I'm glad for that one scene to tie up the loose end after Vadic's death and then all attention turned to the Borg. It was closure for that thread.
Yeah I thought that was a dumb point. It's not like these were envoys from the great link appearing as changelings. If someone is detected to be a changeling by the transporter but appearing as a starfleet officer, you can assume with 99.9999999999% certainty they're up to no good. Assuming the bulk of the changelings are living peacefully and listening to Odo spread the good word, then they're not going around with false identities infiltrating the federation. Also she said they didn't kill the people they replaced, but that wasn't out of compassion. The one impersonating Tuvok even said they're as good as dead. They only kept them alive because they thought they'd need them.
Sure Vadic was sympathetic after what had been done to her, but she wasn't limiting her revenge to her torturers, and had to be stopped.
In short, say no to political correctness, and yes to practical correctness. It's only logical
The card game - I heard it was a real game, recording lasted 45 minutes. I'd love to see it 🙂
I really wish they could have Janeway for that scene. If there was one person that could have been any prouder than me of Seven in that moment, it would be Janeway. Sadly they ran out of budget though. Kickstarter man!!! seriously. I would have chipped in to get her. lol
THEY TRIED, BUT THERE WAS COMPLICATIUONS,
If you want "to see what it's like when your commanding officer is your ex", may I suggest The Orville.
At least they didn’t end it with everyone having Sunday dinner with Tom Selek.
