Having outdistanced the original Star Trek by nearly 100 episodes, The Next Generation closed out its seven-season run with this aptly titled two hour long finale. The emphasis is on Captain Picard, who in the course of the story finds himself hopscotching between the past, present, and future. Seeking an explanation for this phenomenon, Picard once more crosses the path of his old nemesis Q (John de Lancie), who, without buildup or explanation, relates some particularly bad news: Humanity is on the brink of destruction, and Picard is responsible. "All Good Things. . ." was written by Ronald D. Moore and Brannon Braga (then simultaneously busy on the screenplay of the theatrical feature Star Trek: Generations), and was originally telecast on May 22, 1994.
