Star Trek: Picard nails the landing with a beautiful send-off for the Star Trek: TNG cast in the series finale episode, “The Last Generation.” Spoilers will follow for Star Trek: Picard.

There were no real surprises in the season finale of The Mandalorian although the episode ran well shorter than preferred. Spoilers follow for Chapter 24 of The Mandalorian. There are no mid- or post-credit scenes. While the episode brought the action, there were at least a good ten minutes of credits (including all of the foreign language credits). I thought maybe we’d get a tease at the return of Grand Admiral Thrawn ahead of Ahsoka…

Sidney Lumet’s feature directorial debut, 12 Angry Men, makes its arrival on 4K Ultra HD by way of Kino Lorber Studio Classics.
