Post credit scene where Mirror Shaw comes over to our side to re-spray paint the Enterprise-G as the Titan.
And, for good measure, the Enterprise-D as the Titan-B.

Jack Crusher is like…the textbook definition of Mediocre White Guy We’re Supposed to Hold in Awe

“This is my original character; he’s the son of Captain Picard and Dr. Crusher; he’s an awesome rogue who drinks whisky and loves classic starships and gets all of the girls, and he can knock people out with one punch and get away with it because he’s so cool, but also he has daddy issues and childhood trauma. His eyes glow red when gets angry and he also has superpowers. And he’s also part Borg and part Changeling and part Pah'Wraith and part Armus. He’s dark and brooding and Seven of Nine likes him.”
A bunch of Trekkies who’ve spent the last six years calling Michael Burnham a “Mary Sue”: “Yeah! Finally! Real Star Trek!”

UPDATE: He’s the Borg Queen’s specialest drone, whatever that means! But he can get out of assimilation through force of will and the power of flashbacks to the last 2 days or so spent kind of bonding with his father. Starfleet waived that whole “Academy” requirement (and indeed that whole “post-secondary education in general” requirement) because of how AWESOME he is! Seven of Nine lets him sit on the bridge as her “special counselor” even though he’s only been an ensign for a day because he’s SUCH a Badass! Q comes back to announce that he’s going to put him on trial for the crimes of humanity!
I’m not joking by the way; literally all of these things actually happened in the series finale.

It really does feel like somebody’s AO3 fic with a $90 million budget.

That’s unfair! Lots of AO3 fics are good.

Dear fanfic writers,
The next time you doubt your work, when you second-guess your ideas, your understanding of the canon, or your skill as a wordsmith…
Remember that Star Trek: Picard Season 3 was a babyfic AU with a bonafide Mary Sue author self insert (whose mummy was Beverly Crusher and whose daddy was Picard) who was such a Very Special Boy that he made ensign in a year, and who strode confidently across the bridge and commanded “lay in a course for the AUTHOR’S NAME system!!”
Remember that.
And then post your stuff to AO3

Can’t really argue. Loved the nostalgia and TNG stuff of the season. But Jack was the weakest link.
