Star Trek TNG: Best of Both Worlds Part 1 Cliffhanger

The fantastic ending to the first part of one of the best two parters of any show. Although you know already Picard is gonna be ok, it's still one of those scenes you just don't think is gonna happen. When Riker has the big chair thrust onto him, it's up to him to decide whether or not to fire upon the Borg whilst Picard is on board, as Locutus. Earlier we see Shelby try and smack talk Riker, going on about how he isn't ready to make the big decisions, here we see how when push comes to shove it is her in fact who wants to play it safe, and that Riker if needs be will make the tough command decision, he fires upon his own Captain to prevent the Borg from reaching Earth.

Spoiler, they get there anyway.

Can't wait for this episode to be re-released on Blu-Ray in the next couple of years.

@LaSenoritaManzana The Family Guy movie ends their first part in the EXACT SAME MUSIC and text, color, and was an homage to this whole ending scene.

I remember seeing Locutus for the first time... damn, it gave me so much shivers <3 best TNG episode ever! Star Trek is the best SF tv series, period. (imho)

Thank God I discovered TNG (And Trek in general) in like season 5. I was able to go back and see this cliffhanger, and the conclusion immediately. If I had to sit tight an entire summer for this to come back on, my life would've been a living hell.
