The moment The Enterprise powered up and the brass from Goldsmith's Enterprise theme played as she left the hanger to save all of humanity gave me goosebumps

Riker: "If we encounter the Borg we're going to have to run, shoot or hide." Enterprise: "Run? Hide? No way in hell!"

0:13 *Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference. - James T. Kirk*

Months later and I still cant watch this without getting emotional. After the gut punch of watching the Borg take "our kids," the Enterprise D rises like a Phoenix to give us hope. This ship and her crew helped make me who I am today. I will forever be grateful to the showrunners for giving us this moment.

Kirk

Seeing the Enterprise D be reborn just made me smile. Hearing the late Majel Barrett's voice however just made me tear up (happy/bittersweet tears). This is AWESOME!

A month later and have watched this many times. Still getting chills and tears. It's more than nostalgia, it's something that was finally well written after a long time. I also just realized that the view of the ship just before going to warp is the same as the original painting from Picard's ready room. I'm sure that was intentional.

1:17 Love this moment with this epic version of the theme tune as the Enterprise-D stretches her legs for the first time since her fate in Generations. (Or rather her new legs as this stardrive section is a replacement for her long lost original).

Let’s make sure history never forgets the name… Enterprise.

It's been almost two years since my father - a bigger Trekker than I ever was - passed away. Just a few months before this scene. Every time I see this clip, I tear up, not just for the emotional impact it has, but also for the thought that Dad would have absolutely LOVED this!

Utter total fan service. I love it!

I loved every great moment before this, some are just Iconic and ingrained in our culture...but this I sh!t you not is the greatest moment in Star Trek history. I saw watch parties erupt in cheers like their team just won the Super Bowl. Nothing can touch this, not even Picard meeting Kirk.

When Picard looks at the plate on the wall, the music is perfect

After Riker's speech and Picard calls him number one its The Next Generation all over again

People can argue all they want about this being the best scene in Trek history. One thing that cannot be argued, though is this is probably the most powerful musical score ever created for Star Trek.

A year on and this still gets me. After the first two seasons feeling like a slog to get through, this season up to this moment seemed to fly by. But from the moment those docking bay doors opened and was teased with the silhouette of one of the grandest ladies in Starfleet, it all seemed worth it. Side note, this is where it felt like Picard was Picard again. He didn't seem like same character from the previous 2 seasons or the movies. The longer he was on that bridge, the more he felt like the Captain i tuned in and saw every week. He had his family around him and his confidence returned. When he gave that "Engage!" he had that power in his voice back and didn't seem like the old broken man who had lost his faith in Starfleet. He seemed like a father that would stop at nothing to save his son. Patrick Stewart did an amazing job

..... And when Jean luc said... engage.... we all cheered

No matter how many times I watch this scene, actually the entire season, I still get goosebumps. Not a single thing I would change.

That was so emotional and amazing.

I had (and continue to have) something in my eyes watching this scene.

I was a young kid when thr last few seasons of TNG was originally airing. As I grew up and watched seasons i never saw, this ship and her crew very quicky became my ship and crew. Like those that have the original Enterprise as theres. The Enterprise D is mine.

This moment was priceless and so special. I tingled all over ☺️

It was great seeing my enterprise again

Could've had a real First Contact moment when the Borg controlled Fleet, had a ship on sensors. Which turned out to the "Relic" Enterprise D. Coming to assist with the Titan.

The first time I saw this I cried tears of pure joy. Thank you, Star Trek

Best part. Just so emotional and epic

You think the people that made season 1 and 2 are looking at the screen like, da fuq?

You know when the bid D exits hanger bay 12 sh!ts about to go down!!! Had me in tears seeing them all together again❤

Deanna and Beverly still look lovely!!

I'm not crying.. You are!!!

and Captain remember most for as i say for new and old. best of all Show them what this Galaxy Class can do. 0:42

Goosebumps every time

As I said in an old comment, "This is Picard's Enterprise"

Picard's Search for Spock moment. Minus stealing the Enterprise-D

It was perfect. Perfect.

I have my grievances with ST:P in general and season 3 in particular, but I think it was worth it if only for the scenes with the Enterprise D/crew (+ the cameos of Ro/Shelby/Tuvok and Seven’s mini-speech re: USS Voyager) 😌 🌌

Kind of like a " search for spock" moment in the stealing the enterprise scene

If only we were in for more scenes that coudl strike as deeply in a fans soul as this. Take this as a final goodbye, i think this is going to be as good as it gets for trek.

The writers did it right with season 3 . I would of loved to have seen Enterprise E as well in this series

"Always treat her like a lady and she'll always being her home. " Bones McCoy.

The VERY first time I saw this, I had goosebumps and was bawling my eyes out. Star Trek Generations was me and my siblings childhood. To see it reborn after the events with Kirk made me so happy I had grown up on this series. Though I have to wonder, do you think the cast members knew about this or was their reaction in the shuttle, or were their reactions genuine?

😢😢😢😢😢

I was so happy to see the D back. Still, I feel somewhat unsatisfied. As soon as they bring it back they end the series.

geordi at conn, data at ops, mr data go to warp! does no one care about canon ?

F upu Kk you would not stick the landing

Not bad for a geriatric fantasy.

Riker actually saying: WWG1WGA!!!!!

The single greatest Star Trek moment in 30 years. THIS is real Star Trek. Everything after TNG/DS9/VOY was garbage.
