Things left hanging for me:
- No resolution or reason why Q was dying, or even if he really did die, who even knows. I assume he's dead because I don't think DeLancie's coming back.
- The "entire fleet" (by my count, only 33 ships now, quite a bit fewer than we saw in last season's finale, I think) plus one borg vessel immediately stops a "galaxy threatening" energy doohicky with the spirit of cooperation! Oh and by combining their shields into one big shield. Not even a "Star Trek" type simplified analogy offered (ie "like putting too much air in a balloon," as Futurama taught us). Just a big energy beam stopped by a bigger energy wall.
- Unless I missed it, no one ever mentioned Jean-Luc's dead nephew Rene Picard. Seems like giving the female astronaut the same name would have some significance, and would remind Picard of his nephew (and brother) that died in a fire (I also always assumed the fire was at the Picard vineyard, but I don't think it was ever specified. Maybe they died in transporter fire, idk).
- Why was Soong's clone daughter made a "traveler?" Just to give Wil Wheaton something to do? I wish they hadn't brought back the whole "traveller" thing. It makes it even more confusing why the last time we saw Wesley Crusher was at Riker & Troi's wedding in ST: Nemesis, where he was a Starfleet officer for no reason. My own personal theory was that "The Traveller" was an intergalactic sex trafficker and gave Wes some space peyote to trick him into thinking he could stop time so he'd willingly go off with him to work in the sex mines on Risa. Guess that theory's shot to hell now.
