Summary [ ].

At the end of the 24th century , and fourteen years after his retirement from Starfleet , Jean-Luc Picard is living a quiet life on his vineyard , assisted by his two Romulan friends and housekeepers Laris and Zhaban . After Dahj Asha comes to him for help, Picard finds reason to believe Dahj is connected to Data and feels compelled to help her, but she is killed by a mysterious force.

On an abandoned Borg cube known as the Artifact , Soji Asha (twin sister of Dahj) works for the Borg Reclamation Project . Like her sister, Soji is being followed and endangered by Romulan forces, namely Narek .

Without Starfleet's support, Picard is left to recruit a crew of his own: Dr. Agnes Jurati , estranged former colleague Raffi Musiker , pilot and former Starfleet officer Cristóbal Rios , the young Qowat Milat -trained martial artist Elnor , and a rescued Fenris Ranger Seven of Nine . Picard and his team, aboard the civilian freighter La Sirena , track Bruce Maddox to Freecloud , believed to be key to finding and protecting Soji. Their fight to protect Soji takes them to the Artifact, Nepenthe , and Coppelius , where Picard and his crew come head to head with the mysterious forces threatening Soji and other forces threatening the galaxy .

Background information [ ]

• Characters which ' cross over ' from other incarnations of Star Trek : Jean-Luc Picard and Data (" Remembrance "), Hugh (" The End is the Beginning "), Seven of Nine (" Absolute Candor "), Icheb (" Stardust City Rag "), and William T. Riker and Deanna Troi (" Nepenthe "). Worf appears in a photograph and B-4 's remains are seen in (" Remembrance "), and both Locutus of Borg and the Borg Queen are shown in stock footage in (" The Impossible Box ").
• While the television franchise was on hiatus after the cancellation of Star Trek: Enterprise in 2005, the development of digital visual effects (VFX) – aka CGI – production continued unabated to make great strides in the intervening decade and a half. This became unambiguously evident when the first season of Picard went into post-production; were the last three seasons of Enterprise able to make do with a single CGI vendor ( Eden FX ), the lead CGI vendor for Picard , Pixomondo (its Picard team headed by CG Supervisor Dan Smiczek ), required the assistance of no less than eight additional CGI houses on top of CBS Studios ' own in-house digital effects team (which was not employed by CBS for Enterprise ), whose senior staff consisted of VFX Supervisors Jason Michael Zimmerman and Ante Dekovic as well as VFX Producer Aleksandra Kochoska . The additional effects houses concerned Double Negative (its team headed by VFX Producer Molly Pabian ), Crafty Apes , Ghost VFX , Mackevision , FX3X , Filmworks/FX , Technicolor VFX , and Twisted Media (its team headed by Creative Director Chris Keifer and Motion Designer Noah Schloss [1] ). The in-house effects team was responsible for approximately 500 effects shot under the aegis of Lead VFX Artist Charles Collyer , while the remaining 2,500 VFX shots or so, required for the first season, were handled by the nine outside effects houses.

Reception [ ]

The critical review site Rotten Tomatoes has given the first season of Picard a score of 87%. However, it has also recorded a much lower audience score of 56%, with an average rating of 3.2 out of 5, indicative that the rift between critics and viewers/fans has not been mended after the even worse performance of Star Trek: Discovery ' s first two seasons. [2] Rotten Tomatoes' audience findings though, were not corroborated for this season by the customer reviews on Amazon.com , which showed a substantially higher audience rating of 4.3 out of 5, as well as a much higher rough 80/20 like/dislike divide within the viewership/fanbase itself. [3] Nonetheless, a certain amount of caution is required in the case of Amazon, as Amazon Prime is the streaming service of the series it had paid for, and Amazon is known for occasionally padding audience ratings by redacting these to more favorable ones through the removal of some of the most negative reviews without any form of justification. [4]

The critical review site Metacritic though, did corroborate Rotten Tomatoes' critical findings to some extent by quoting the lower 76% critics' rating score for the first season – against Tomatoes' 87% average rating – and also reported an even worse viewership rating of 4.1 out of 10, with the like/dislike divide showing a rough 40/60 split. [5]

This was not the reception showrunner Alex Kurtzman and his team had hoped for, as this season performed even worse than Discovery 's first season , which was hitherto the worst received season of Kurtzman-era Star Trek . Fully expecting that the principal character of arguably the most beloved Star Trek series would be enough to win back the hearts and minds of fans disenchanted by Discovery , the first two episodes started out well enough due to the fan's high expectations, [6] but fan appreciation for the season dropped sharply after episode three. Customer reviews on a multitude of social media platforms and internet blogs, including those of the abovementioned review sites, showed that critical fans continued to have issues with perceived ( Roddenberry ) philosophy violations, the show considered too dystopian in their view, just like they had with Discovery . Perceived canon / (visual) continuity violations on the other hand, which had also played a major part in the critical fan assessment of Discovery , no longer constituted a role of note due to the series' premise as a sequel.

As it did for the first season of Star Trek: Discovery – to no avail as it turned out for that occasion – CBS Broadcasting , encouraged by the intially better (fan-)reception of Picard , shortlived though it may have been, again embarked in early May 2020 on substantial efforts in the form of an elaborate mailer, online videos, social media, outdoor campaign and multiple events, in order to gain traction for their 2020 Emmy Awards nomination chances, yet again trying to get a nomination in the coveted, but elusive "Outstanding Lead Actor" category for Patrick Stewart. [7] If nominated, this would have been a first for Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard, as he has never been nominated for one in the Star Trek: The Next Generation -era – nor has anybody else in the history of televised Star Trek for that matter. Stewart was nominated though for his role as Captain Ahab in the 1998 mini-series Moby Dick , but did not win the award.

Still, when the nominations were announced on 28 July, it turned out that a "Best Performer" nomination remained an elusive one for the Star Trek franchise since the three Leonard Nimoy had received in 1967-1969 for "Supporting Actor." The five nominations that the season did pick up, were all yet again in the usual technical categories, and of which only the prosthetic makeup nomination was won, [8] a category Star Trek traditionally excels at. Star Trek however, was soundly beaten at the Creative Emmys by franchise rival Star Wars , whose very first live action television series, The Mandalorian , picked up no less than five of the most prestigious technical Emmy awards on its Emmy debut for its first season, constituting yet another bitter disappointment for Kurtzman-era Star Trek considering the substantial lobbying efforts undertaken by Kurtzman and associates for not only Picard , but previously for Discovery as well.

The Golden Reel Award win concerned a tie with the acclaimed Netflix series The Queen's Gambit , whose episode "End Game" also won the award in the same category. [9]

The Johnny-come-latelies in the award season were the 2021 Saturn Awards which were only awarded on 26 October 2021, having been postponed for nearly two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic , and which therefore covered the genre films and television seasons of both 2019 and 2020. Picard lost out to franchise sibling Discovery (whose 2020 third season was nominated for the same award) in the most prestigious television category, "Best Science Fiction Television Series". Still, Patrick Stewart won the award in the category he was not considered for at the Emmys, that of "Best Actor in a Television Series". [10] Stewart incidentally, had already won the exact same, then-called "Best Genre (TV) Actor" award back in 1990 for the same role, that of Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation , apart from being nominated for it again in 1997 for his performance as such in Star Trek: First Contact .

Star Trek: Picard - Episode Guide - Season 1

No self-respecting Star Trek devotee would deny the awesomeness of seeing Captain Jean-Luc Picard – not to mention a handful of his Enterprise compadres – back in action after some 20 years (17 since the “real-world” release of Nemesis ). In this respect, Star Trek: Picard season 1 seemed destined to succeed, particularly after the grandiose opening of colorful nebulae, camera sweeping over the USS Enterprise, NCC 1701-D.

Iconic stuff, and whoa does Picard season 1 enjoy dramatic peaks, excellent character moments and pepperings of action. However, this inaugural 10-epsidoe season simultaneously suffers from many of same bugaboos that trouble many a streaming-based series.

In the timing is this most evidenced: Each episode is written as more or less a bottle episode playing out under the rubric of the main story, yet few economically use script. Episodes 5 and 6 (“Stardust City Rag’ and “The Impossible Box”) feel padded, 2 and 9 (“Maps and Legends” and “Broken Pieces”) are rushed – particularly when compared with the finale, which included essentially everything the best ST:TNG episodes did.

The final verdict on Star Trek Picard season 1: Overall a nicely-done, if uneven, effort – but as previously stated, damn, it’s good to see Jean-Luc again. Not to mention Seven, Will, Deanna…

• Remembrance – As a news reporter takes Picard to task for controversially opposing the Federation for abandoning Romulan refugee efforts, a young woman named Dahj is attacked by Romulan assassins in her home. Dahj has visions of Picard and ultimately tracks him to his vineyard in France. In a visit to Starfleet Archives, Picard finds a painting by Data which appears to depict Dahj. Dahj is soon thereafter killed by the Romulans, and Picard seeks the expertise of Dr. Jurati; Jurati informs him that Dahj is a twin. ***
• Maps and Legends – Helped by the Romulans in the Picard vineyard’s employ, Picard tracks down the location of Dahj’s twin, Soji; he also learns that Dahj’s assassins are likely agents of the Zhat Vash, an even more extreme branch of the Tal Shiar intelligence agency. To Picard’s chagrin, Soji is working on “The Artifact,” a Borg cube under the auspices of the Romulans. Picard is denied assistance in his personal mission by the Federation, and so seeks help elsewhere…***
• The End Is the Beginning – Picard convinces his former first officer Raffi Musiker to join the rescue mission, and he scores a pilot and his ship as well in Rios and La Sirena. Picard and Jurati are attacked by Zhat Vash, but live to get onboard the Sirena and get on to Freecloud, where Bruce Maddox is believed to be. Meanwhile, revelations about Soji: Narek, a Romulan researcher on The Artifact, is a plant to spy on her, and more than Romulan identifies Soji as “The Destroyer.” ***
• Absolute Candor – In bagging directorial work on his fifth Star Trek series with “Absolute Candor”, Jonathan Frakes establishes himself as one of the franchise’s most important figures ever … and the episode itself is a goodie. On the way to Freecloud, Picard’s new ragtag crew visits Vashti, the last spot to which Romulans were relocated before the Federation withdrew from refugee support. There, Picard is reunited with the Romulan warrior sect Qowat Milat and a young man named Elnor, with whom Picard had been quite close. Lots of great righteousness by Picard and badass martial-arts stuff – all on a set that recalls Firefly…****
• Stardust City Rag – Seven of Nine, having saved La Sirena in a firefight at the close of episode 4, hitches on with La Sirena to Freecloud; there she seeks to exact revenge on the black market dealer Bjayzl despite Picard’s objections. In a completely unrelated (and mostly irrelevant) subplot, Raffi visits with her estranged son. And seemingly from out of nowhere Jurati ices Maddox.
• The Impossible Box – Picard gets onboard The Artifact and is saved from one bad trip by Hugh, the Borg re-individualized by the Enterprise-D crew back in “I, Borg.” Narek has meanwhile discovered the secret of Soji’s planet of origin and tries to kill her, but Picard and she manage to beam away to the planet…
• Nepenthe , where William Riker and Deanna Troi live with their daughter. The action is taken down a notch here as Picard and Soji deal with a few existential matters while awaiting a pickup from La Sirena. Elnor and Hugh attempt to fight the Zhat Vash agents seeking Soji on The Artifact before Elnor calls in the calvary, i.e. Seven’s Ferris Rangers. ****             
• Broken Pieces – Mysteries resolved going into the season-ender: We learn why Rios left Starfleet, the true identity of Admiral Oh, and what precipitates the Zhat Vash’s androidophobia. Seven arrives on The Artifact in time enough to save Elnor, but not the remaining Borg drones, who are callously jettisoned into space by the fleeing Romulans. La Sirena and the powered-up Artifact warp to Soji’s home planet via Borg transwarp conduit. ***
• Et in Arcadia Ego, part 1 – Upon approaching the planet Coppelius, La Sirena is attacked by massive genetically engineering orchids which drag the ship as well as the Borg cube to the surface. There, Picard et al discover a colony entirely populated by synthetics. De facto leader is their co-creator, Altan Soong – unless it’s the android Sutra, who believes the Romulans’ story of synthetic life wiping out organic lifeforms through the galaxy to be good news for her people…***
• Et in Arcadia Ego, part 2 – This episode is what we love Jean-Luc Picard’s breed of Star Trek for best: Stirring stentorian speeches, Riker playing cowboy, shoot-’em-ups in space, the galaxy saved (once again), and delving into the meaning of existence – plus the (proper) return of Lt. Comm. Data. No matter how one feels about Star Trek: Picard’s first nine episodes, no ST fan should come away from episode 10 disappointed. *****

Every Episode of Star Trek: Picard Season 2, Ranked

Star Trek: Picard Season 2 was a varied and emotionally heavy season, and here's how critics and fans ranked each episode in the time-travel saga.

This article contains a brief mention of suicide.

The return of Jean-Luc Picard to the Star Trek universe was always meant to be a three-season affair. The second season was filmed during the height of the pandemic, and went through many iterations under the direction of three executive producers. In more ways than one, it was a tonal shift from the seasons on either side of it. How critics and fans ranked every episode of Star Trek: Picard Season 2 shows how challenging and contentious the middle chapter of this saga was. The story explored time travel, introduced an alternate timeline, and was bookended by a massively important moment in Starfleet's present.

Picard Season 2 was an emotionally heavy season with a clear political point of view and a sense of fun that comes with setting sci-fi characters in the contemporaneous present. In both the special features of The Complete Star Trek: Picard home release and the making-of book Star Trek: Picard: The Art and Making of the Series , the challenges in making this season are laid bare. With Rotten Tomatoes representing the critics and IMDB's user ratings representing the audience, each episode of Star Trek: Picard Season 2 is ranked based on the story it told and the impact it had on both the characters and audience.

10 The Picard Season 2 Premiere Was Full of Promise

Star trek: picard season 2, episode 1 "the star gazer", star trek theory: picard retconned the divisive enterprise series finale.

Of all Star Trek: Picard 's ten sophomore episodes, "The Star Gazer" ranks the highest among its peers in Season 2 . It's a fantastic beginning to the story, which both ties up loose ends from Season 1 and sets the characters on a new adventure. Most importantly, however, it brings Starfleet back into the fold in a big way. Picard delivers a Starfleet Academy commencement address, and he is then summoned to the USS Stargazer to answer a plea for help.

The episode sends off Soji, an ambassador for her synthetic siblings on the galactic stage. Dr. Agnes Jurati is with her, but quickly beams aboard the Stargazer, commanded by (her ex) Captain Cristobal Rios. Raffi, Elnor and Laris return, the first two also in Starfleet and the latter still with Jean-Luc but yearning for something more. It ends with the return of Q who, at the last moment, whisks Picard away from certain death.

9 Picard Season 2 Almost Took Place in an Alternate Timeline

Star trek: picard season 2, episode 2, "penance".

The first two episodes of Star Trek: Picard Season 2 debuted the same day, so it makes sense they are ranked close together. The strange new world this episode introduces may be why some viewers became disillusioned with the rest of the season's 21st Century setting. Executive Producer Terry Matalas said on Inglorious Treksperts that this episode mostly came from the Season 1 showrunner Michael Chabon before he left to adapt one of his novels for Paramount.

The characters were meant to spend more time in this alternate timeline , which reveres Adam Soong, one of many Brent Spiner lookalikes related to the creation of Data. The Earth is ravaged by climate change and seems very similar to the xenophobic Mirror Universe. Picard, Raffi, Seven of Nine, Elnor, Jurati and Rios have to bust a Borg Queen out of prison so that they can time travel and fix the past. Still, it might have been fun to spend more time in this evil, alternate future.

8 Season 2 Teamed Picard Up With a Character Tying TOS to TNG

Star trek: picard season 2, episode 5, "fly me to the moon".

Actor Orla Brady played Laris, who is absent from the season save for the first and final episodes. However, she returned to the cast as Talinn, the Romulan successor to Gary Seven from The Original Series . The character known as a "Watcher" was introduced as a potential spinoff from Gene Roddenberry for NBC. While it didn't take off, it did create an interesting bit of Star Trek lore. While Gary Seven was a human with access to advanced alien technology, Talinn is a Romulan tasked with protecting the timeline on Earth.

Laris is primarily responsible for the safety of Renée Picard, ancestor of Jean-Luc and the woman who discovers "a sentient microbe" on Europa that helps fix climate change. It's also the episode where the other political storyline (Rios and the present-day "Butterflies" being persecuted by ICE for helping undocumented migrants) are broken out of custody in a fun action sequence. It's also the episode where Agnes is injected with Borg nanoprobes by the queen, setting up the next episode in the Star Trek: Picard Season 2 ranked list.

7 A Gala, a Sassy Borg Queen and a Musical Number Shook Up Picard Season 2

Star trek: picard season 2, episode 6, "two of one", 'keep being noisy': picard star provides star trek: legacy update.

This version of the Borg Queen was played by Annie Wersching , who passed away in January 2023 from cancer. Great throughout the series, this episode features the Borg Queen and Jurati sharing a mind. As the Borg Queen tries to take over her body (reliant on emotional responses for control), the two make a great inside woman as they help Team Picard sneak into a gala. Allison Pill also does a rendition of the great Pat Benatar song, "Shadows of the Night."

"Two of One" doesn't just refer to the Borg-ified Jurati, either. This episode features Jean-Luc have a touching heart-to-heart conversation with his ancestor Renée. They are also two of a kind. Picard also faces off with Adam Soong, though he runs the Admiral down with his car. Because of his synthetic body, Rios, Raffi and his friends take him to Dr. Teresa Ramirez, leader of the Butterflies and physician who doesn't ask a lot of questions.

6 Picard Season 2 Does 'Star Trek: The Voyage Home'

Star trek: picard season 2 episode 3, "assimilation".

The third episode of Picard Season 2 is ranked high because it continued the breakneck pace established by the first two episodes. Team Picard time travels to the past with the help of the Borg queen, presenting the third new locale for the series: the 21st Century . However, this is where the bulk of the season takes place, much like Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home was mostly set in the then-contemporaneous present.

A lot happened in this episode. Seven of Nine and Raffi try to blend in to the 21st Century and scan for a person using technology too advanced for the time. Rios is meant to help, but he's injured and ends up in a clinic with Dr. Teresa Ramirez and her son Ricardo, who are eventually arrested by ICE. Agnes and Picard try to outwit the Borg Queen. However, the most important moment in the episode was the death of Elnor. Fatally wounded by Seven of Nine's alternate timeline husband, his death devastates Raffi.

5 Guinan Brought the Return of an Old Friend With a New Face

Star trek: picard season 2 episode 4, "watcher".

Whoopi Goldberg's affable bartender Guinan returned in the Picard Season 2 premiere , but the character returned in a big way played by Ito Aghayere. The first episode established that Guinan, an ageless El Aurian, can alter her appearance to older or younger as she sees fit. Picard has to convince her to help him save humanity, even though she doesn't think Earthlings are worth the effort.

This is the episode which focuses most heavily on the immigration story in Season 2, with Rios in ICE custody trying to explain why he has no identification. As Seven of Nine and Raffi try to find him, they discover how migrants can fall through the cracks of the system. This plays out while juxtaposed with Guinan's condemnation of humanity. However, Picard is able to make a plea based on what he knows of where humanity can go in the future, in a very Roddenberry-esque Star Trek moment.

4 Picard and Guinan Find Mercy and Vulcans from Agent Wells

Star trek: picard season 2 episode 8, "mercy", star trek's wil wheaton wants a crusher brothers spinoff series.

Introduced at the end of the previous episode, Jay Karnes makes his return to Star Trek . Having previously played a time agent in Star Trek: Voyager , in Picard Season 2, he plays FBI Agent Wells, who is a firm believer in alien activity and arrests both Guinan and Picard based on video footage he has of the latter transporting onto the street. He questions them both, threatening the mission and the timeline. It's revealed that he had a pre- First Contact Vulcan encounter as a child . He ultimately lets Picard and Guinan go, seemingly fired for bringing them in at all.

Meanwhile, the Borg Queen has control of Agnes, and Seven of Nine and Raffi have to try to find and capture her. They find her consuming metals from car batteries, which is toxic to Agnes, but is what the Borg Queen needs to assimilate more people. She doesn't kill Seven or Raffi, proving Agnes still has some measure of control. Borg Jurati then goes to Adam Soong, convincing him to help her steal La Sirena and strand Team Picard in the 21st Century.

3 Season 2 Brought Picard Face-to-Face With His Greatest Fear and Regret

Star trek: picard season 2 episode 7, "monsters".

This episode is ranked one of the lowest by Picard viewers, and it's understandable. Not a lot happens in the episode, despite the introduction of James Callis as a hallucination of a therapist and Picard's father . This episode dives deeply into the memories of guilt and the mystery of what happened to Jean-Luc's mother. It's emotionally heavy and does somewhat lag on the breathless urgency of trying to find Agnes and stop Adam Soong.

Still, this is an emotionally powerful episode that recontextualizes what viewers have been seeing about Picard's past. His father is revealed to not be the abusive villain fans thought. Picard's mother is not a victimized woman trying to be free, but rather someone suffering from mental illness or injury. It's a traumatic, frightening event and (with help of Watcher Talinn and some sci-fi telepathic technology), Picard works through it.

2 The New Borg Were the Best Thing Picard Season 2 Brought to Star Trek

Star trek: picard season 2 episode 10, "farewell".

While the finale of Picard Season 2, "Farewell" is mostly about denouement, outside of the last mission to ensure that Adam Soong doesn't kill Renée Picard. Talinn sacrifices herself. Rios decides to stay behind in the 21st Century. Wesley Crusher returns as a Watcher , and Q and Picard have a final heart-to-heart chat, just before he sends them all back to the proper future. He's even able to resurrect Elnor since he had a little power left over because Rios stayed behind.

The best part of the finale was the reveal that Agnes Jurati was the Borg Queen from the first episode of Picard Season 2. With the alternate timeline Borg Queen, she created a new kind of collective. People choose to join the Borg, and even retain some measure of individuality . These new Borg agree to stand guard against a rupture in spacetime through which an unknown threat has yet to emerge. They become provisional members of the Federation, continuing the Star Trek tradition of old enemies, eventually becoming allies.

1 Star Trek's Most Emotionally Heavy Episode Is About Picard's Guilt

Star trek: picard season 2 episode, "hide and seek".

The penultimate episode of Star Trek: Picard Season 2 is a massive episode, both for its action and its emotional weight. There is a big battle at Chateau Picard where the new Jurati Borg assimilate mercenaries hired by Adam Soong. They try to kill Picard and his friends, but Agnes eventually convinces the Queen to try a different way than she had in the past, since in every timeline assimilation and violence leads to the Borg's destruction.

Most importantly, this episode reveals how Picard's mother died and why Jean-Luc felt so much guilt for it. His father locked her in a room to stop her from hurting herself. Jean-Luc unlocked the door and went to lie with his mother and comfort her. After he fell asleep, she took her own life. As much as Picard Season 2 was about fixing the past, outsmarting the Borg and other Star Trek things, Picard's revelation was the true mission . He had to forgive himself by letting go of the guilt that kept him at arm's length from people and preparing him to be a father.

The complete Star Trek: Picard is available to own on Blu-ray, DVD, digital and streams on Paramount+ .

Star Trek: Picard Season 2 pits the iconic Admiral against his greatest nemesis Q for a time-travel adventure that exposes Jean-Luc's deepest secret.

'Picard's Michelle Hurd Reveals Who She Wants To See Raffi Team Up With in a 'Star Trek: Legacy' Spin-Off

Fans haven't given up hope for 'Star Trek: Legacy' and Hurd shared some exciting potential team-ups at Calgary Expo this weekend.

The Big Picture

• Fans are still hopeful for a Star Trek: Legacy spin-off series after the successful final season of Picard on Paramount+.
• Actress Michelle Hurd expresses excitement for the potential spin-off and a desire to work with more Next Generation alums.
• Hurd mentions wanting Raffi to meet Guinan; recently Whoopi Goldberg hinted at a possible return to the franchise.

While there's been no official news of a spin-off in the year since Star Trek: Picard Season 3 became one of Paramount+'s most-watched Star Trek seasons, fans are still holding out hope for Star Trek: Legacy . Despite still waiting for a green light from the studio herself, actress Michelle Hurd spoke hopefully about the potential spin-off series during a panel hosted by Collider's Maggie Lovitt at Calgary Expo this weekend. When Lovitt asked what it means to Hurd to know so many people want to see her come back to play Raffi again, she said, "It's an unbelievable honor and one that I absolutely cherish and understand the responsibility of."

As the panel went on, Hurd accepted several Star Trek questions from the attendees in the crowd. When one hopeful fan opened with plans to " assume Star Trek: Legacy is a go " Hurd wholeheartedly agreed saying, "Shall we? I like that, I like where you're going." The fan would go on to ask which other "legacy" characters from the long-running franchise she'd like to see Raffi team up with on the spin-off.

Hurd noted that "Raffi didn't get to interact with everybody that came back." As much as she loved working with Michael Dorn as Worf for most of the season, Hurd had a few other Next Generation alums from Picard Season 3 that she'd love to share the screen with. She went on to say:

"I mean, Levar Burton , Kunta Kinte, I mean can I just— I had one line, I think, with Marina [Sirtis] on the second season. I didn't really get to work other than shooting with Gates [McFadden] . So, of that, I would love to actually experience those guys. And then, you know, what I love is that Terry Matalas is such an OG that he, I mean, he had to like, you know, force some of our cameos on the show because…how do I say [this]? But some people, maybe the studio didn't really get it. They were like, ‘Oh, why would we bring this character on? Nobody knows him.’ And it was like, ‘No, everybody— YOU don't know, but everybody knows them.’ So I honestly, I think that he would, he would do an amazing job pulling in people. "

Michelle Hurd Wants to See Raffi Meet Guinan If 'Star Trek: Legacy' Happens

Hurd had one more major player from Next Generation and Picard that she would love to see Raffi team up with, saying "selfishly, Guinan would be nice to play with, I’m just saying." And it's possible she could get her wish. A few weeks ago Whoopi Goldberg — who played Guinan across six of Next Generation 's seven seasons — played coy when her The View co-host Joy Behar appeared to spill the beans about Goldberg potentially returning to the franchise again.

While we wait to see if Paramount+ will boldly go with Star Trek: Legacy , you can watch both Picard and Next Generation in their entirety on the streamer.

Did you know

• Trivia In some scenes featuring Romulan characters, the soundtrack features a variation of the 7-note "villain" melody which was first used in Balance of Terror (1966) , the Romulans' first appearance.
• Goofs During the opening nightmare sequence, as the camera zooms in on Ten Forward, and Picard and Data playing poker, the camera zooms in through 3 narrow slotted windows. But, inside the room, they are playing in front of the more central windows, which have one wide window surrounded by two narrow slot windows. However, this could also be an indicator that this is indeed a dream, rather than an error.

Interviewer : While Captain of Starfleet's flagship Enterprise, he was hailed as one of our galaxy's most intrepid explorers, a skilled diplomat, military strategist, humanitarian and author of many widely praised works of historical analysis. He joins us on the anniversary of the Romulan supernova to discuss his role in those tragic events. I have the rare honor of introducing Admiral Jean-Luc Picard.

Jean-Luc Picard : Retired.

Interviewer : You've never agreed to an interview before, so thank you for inviting the galaxy into your study.

Jean-Luc Picard : Oh, less crowded than I thought.

Interviewer : Well, Today is a solemn day.

Jean-Luc Picard : It is a day of memories. Raising awareness of the supernova's lingering impact is work that I am extremely passionate about.

Interviewer : Let's explore that. When you first learned that the Romulan sun was going to explode and the terrible consequences that would bring, what feelings came up for you?

Jean-Luc Picard : Oh, well, there are no words to describe the... calamitous scale of that change. Which is one of the reasons...

Interviewer : You can't tell us how you felt, but your initial actions were to call for a massive relocation of Romulans?

Jean-Luc Picard : Well, the Romulans asked for our help, and I believed we had a profound obligation to give it.

Interviewer : Many felt there were better uses for our resources than aiding the Federation's oldest enemy.

Jean-Luc Picard : Well, fortunately, the Federation chose to support the rescue effort.

Interviewer : Yes. Initially.

Jean-Luc Picard : [chuckles] I have been known to be persuasive. But the Federation understood there were millions of lives at stake.

Interviewer : Romulan lives.

Jean-Luc Picard : No. Lives.

Interviewer : You left the Enterprise to command the rescue armada. Ten thousand warp-capable ferries. A mission to relocate 900 million Romulan citizens to worlds outside the blast of the supernova. A logistical feat more ambitious than the Pyramids.

Jean-Luc Picard : The Pyramids were a symbol of colossal vanity. If you want to look for a historical analogy: Dunkirk.

Interviewer : Dunkirk.

Jean-Luc Picard : Yes.

Interviewer : And then the unimaginable happened. Can you tell us about that?

[Picard sighs]

Interviewer : Admiral.

Jean-Luc Picard : I thought we were here to talk about the supernova.

Interviewer : A group of rogue synthetics dropped the planetary defense shields and hacked Mars' own defense net.

Interviewer : Wiping out the rescue armada and completely destroying the Utopia Planitia Shipyard. The explosions ignited the flammable vapors in the stratosphere. Mars remains on fire to this day. 92,143 lives were lost, which led to a ban on synthetics.

Jean-Luc Picard : Yes. We still don't know why the synthetics went rogue and did what they did that day, but I believe the subsequent decision to ban synthetic lifeforms was a mistake.

Interviewer : Lieutenant Commander Data, operations officer on the Enterprise, was synthetic. Did you ever lose faith in him?

Jean-Luc Picard : Never.

Interviewer : What was it that you lost faith in, Admiral? You've never spoken about your departure from Starfleet. Didn't you, in fact, resign your commission in protest? Tell us, Admiral. Why did you really quit Starfleet?

Jean-Luc Picard : Because it was no longer Starfleet.

Interviewer : I'm sorry?

Jean-Luc Picard : Because it was no longer Starfleet! We withdrew. The galaxy was mourning, burying its dead, and Starfleet had slunk from its duties. The decision to call off the rescue and to abandon those people we had sworn to save was not just dishonorable. It was downright criminal! And I was not prepared to stand by and be a spectator. And you, my dear, you have no idea what Dunkirk is, right? You're a stranger to history. You're a stranger to war. You just wave your hand and

Jean-Luc Picard : it all goes away. Well, it's not so easy for those who died. And it was not so easy for those who were left behind. We're done here.

Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 1 Ending, Explained

Quick links, how does star trek: the next generation season 1 end, star trek: the next generation season 1's biggest story arcs, what do fans think of star trek: the next generation season 1's ending.

The stumbles of the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation have been well-documented. Behind-the-scenes, writers struggled with the concept set down by franchise creator Gene Roddenberry. Some episodes were blatant remakes of Original Series stories, and the show even managed to lose a key cast member. Sometimes it seemed a quadrant away from the classic-packed first season of Star Trek in 1966.

It would be a couple of years before TNG introduced the trademark two-part stories that split seasons — ‘The Best of Both Worlds’ set a high bar at the end of Season 3. But it was clear TNG wouldn’t settle for being defined by its first season. It mustered up a season finale that reasserted its vision for Star Trek while keeping an eye on the future.

Best Picard Quotes In Star Trek: The Next Generation

‘The Neutral Zone’ ends the first year of TNG in an unusual way. It doesn’t pick up specific plot strands from the 25 episodes that went before, instead serving up two balanced storylines that dovetail into an intriguing ending. In the pre-title teaser, Worf and Data encounter a 20th-century Earth spacecraft packed with cryogenically suspended humans and retrieve three of them. The discovery recalls ‘Space Seed,’ the ominous 1967 episode of the Original Series that introduced major villain Khan Noonien Singh, but the threat in TNG comes from somewhere else entirely.

Mostly, the three revived humans provide comic relief and pose an inconvenience as the crew of the Enterprise investigates the loss of several Federation outposts along the Romulan Neutral Zone . The fear that the Romulan Star Empire is re-awakening after 53 years of isolation is realized at the end of the episode when the Enterprise encounters a huge Warbird and two combative commanders.

9 Underrated Star Trek: The Next Generation Episodes

The twist is that the Romulans aren’t behind the devastating attacks, having lost bases themselves. While there’s a chance for the Empire and Federation to work together, the Enterprise crew and fans are left in no doubt that the Romulans mean business in the galaxy, as one commander promises, “We are back.” As Picard eloquently observes, “I think our lives just became a lot more complicated.”

The episode’s odd structure makes an interesting juxtaposition. The antics of the survivors from the 20th century recall some comedic moments in the Original Series . While the Enterprise crew are oddly dismissive of the time refugees, their presence reinforces that the exploration and knowledge-led 24th century is far removed from the 20th, and even the 23rd. It’s a timely reminder as the parallel plot reintroduces and repositions the new-look Romulan Star Empire as a major threat.

The first season of TNG didn’t have the kinds of story arcs Star Trek fans are used to today. In the 1980s, TNG was syndicated to local stations in the US, meaning episodes could be broadcast in any order. That made arcs impossible and led to soft resets at the end of each story — which is why the death of a major character just two episodes before doesn’t warrant a reference. However, that didn’t stop TNG from seeding plots that would grow over the following years.

TNG ’s first year introduced Data’s long-lost brother Lore and the mysterious Traveler, both of whom would return with consequences. TNG ’s first story, ‘Encounter at Farpoint,’ welcomed fan-favorite Q, the omnipotent alien who would reappear throughout and beyond the series, including the grand finale ‘All Good Things.’ However, the most significant plot arc concluded in the episode before ‘The Neutral Zone.’ Teased in the 19th episode, ‘Coming of Age,’ the penultimate episode ‘Conspiracy’ had Picard and crew uncover and foil a parasitic alien infiltration at the head of Starfleet.

After dealing with monsters close to home and Federation ideals, TNG’s second major arc was all about establishing a next-generation threat to the galaxy. Roddenberry was keen to mark the Star Trek sequel series out from its 1960s forbear. Worf’s presence on board the enterprise was a clear sign that time had moved on, and he spelled it out in the series’ writing rules :

No stories about warfare with Klingons and Romulans and no stories with Vulcans. We are determined not to copy ourselves and believe there must be other interesting aliens in a galaxy filled with billions of stars and planets.

6 Biggest Retcons To Star Trek History

The solution was the Ferengi, a vicious and distinctive new species mentioned in early episodes before they made their presence felt in the fifth story, ‘The Last Outpost.’ As fans know, the looks and motives of this new threat didn’t work out , and the big-lobed aliens were softly rebooted into the avaricious comic relief that became a popular part of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine .

The Ferengi retreat left a gap, and the Romulans were ready to fill it . Using the time jump to the 24th century, the show recaptured the mystery of their reveal in the Original Series ’ ‘Balance of Terror’ (the Federation and Romulan Empire had fought a war in the 22nd century, but before view screens!).

The updated villains, who receive a great write-up from Troi in the episode, had new forehead ridges to distinguish them from Vulcans , a new Imperial symbol, and a gigantic new warship. The impressive D'deridex-class Romulan Warbird was the last ship created for the franchise by legendary designer Andrew Probert, who was also responsible for the Enterprise-D.

The fan reception to TNG Season 1 is mixed. It holds an Audience Score of 70% on Rotten Tomatoes, well under the 93% earned by TNG’s seventh and final season.

However, the final episode has received generally favorable reviews. One Redditor has justified that it’s a perfect starting point for new viewers of TNG as it expertly defines the traits of most of the main cast and sets out Star Trek ’s optimistic vision

The way the revived humans are handled comes in for most criticism, as observed on Reddit . While the episode mainly uses the 20th-century throwbacks as a chance to set out the Federation charter in the 24th century, it’s at the cost of plausibility. Would the enlightened crew of the Enterprise not be more interested in the time capsule that fell into the ship’s path or wary, considering what happened with Khan less than a hundred years before?

6 Most Evil Characters In Star Trek History

The handling of the Romulans stands out, as the Empire snarled back with suitable threat and promise. One Redditor even suggested the episode foreshadowed the approach Deep Space Nine would take to the Federation when they provoked the Dominion . Are the franchise's heroes just bringing trouble on themselves with their smug assertion of how great and correct they are?

An interesting side note couldn’t help but affect how fans perceive the episode as soon as a year after its broadcast. The Romulans were a welcome returning threat, but they were a stop-gap. The Ferengi were pushed aside in preparation for a yet-to-be-revealed major new threat whose presence was felt in the devastating attacks on outposts in the Neutral Zone. It would be a while before the culprits were revealed, even if the stellar cartography and timeline don’t quite match up. ‘The Neutral Zone’ is the first sign of TNG’s definitive enemies: The Borg.

Star Trek: 5 Important Moments In The Borg's History

Screen Rant

Star trek: discovery’s biggest time travel shock is season 1 burnham.

Captain Michael Burnham faced her younger self in Star Trek: Discovery season 5, and it was shocking how much Michael has changed from season 1.

Warning: SPOILERS for Star Trek: Discovery Season 5, Episode 4 - "Face The Strange"

• Specialist Michael Burnham's shocking return in Star Trek: Discovery season 5 reveals a stark contrast to her future self, Captain Burnham.
• The time travel adventure in Discovery season 5, episode 4 sends Captain Burnham and crew on a dangerous mission to face their past and possible future.
• Captain Burnham's evolution into a compassionate leader highlights her remarkable transformation, making her the most evolved Captain in Star Trek history.

The biggest shock of Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 4's time travel was seeing Specialist Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) from Star Trek: Discovery season 1 again, and how much Michael has changed. Written by Sean Cochran and directed by Lee Rose, Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 4, "Face the Strange," was a thrilling time travel adventure that sent Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green), Commander Rayner (Callum Keith Rennie), and Commander Paul Stamets (Anthony Rapp) into key moments of the USS Discovery's past and possible future. And what Burnham dreaded came to pass: facing her younger self.

In Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 4, "Face the Strange," the villainous Moll (Eve Harlow) and L'ak (Elias Toufexis) smuggled a Krenim Chronophage, or a Time Bug, aboard the USS Discovery. The Time Bug trapped Discovery in a series of loops, sending the starship uncontrollably hurtling through time. However, Captain Burnham and Commander Rayner were able to operate independently in the time loops, and Stamets was also spared because his tardigrade DNA allows him to live outside of space-time. The Discovery trio went about destroying the Time Bug, but Burnham had to reveal herself to Discovery's bridge crew to save the ship. Further, Michael had to literally contend with herself from Star Trek: Discovery season 1.

Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 Returning Cast & New Character Guide

Why michael burnham was shockingly different in star trek: discovery season 1, discovery season 1 michael was defined by her biggest mistake..

Captain Burnham confronting Specialist Michael Burnham from Star Trek: Discovery season 1 was as shocking for her as it was for the viewers at home. The contrast between both Michaels, who were 5 years of age and 935 years apart after the USS Discovery time traveled to the 32nd century, was stunning. Captain Burnham is physically different from Specialist Burnham, not just because her hair is longer, and she wears a Starfleet Captain's uniform. There is a warmth and compassion to Captain Burnham that is absent from her younger self , who was just weeks removed from the biggest mistake of her life.

Specialist Michael Burnham thought Captain Burnham was a changeling imposter, as she couldn't fathom herself as a Starfleet Captain.

At the point in Star Trek: Discovery season 1 that Captain Burnham arrived at, Specialist Michael Burnham was still mired in guilt and sorrow for her mutiny that ignited the Klingon War and led to the death of her mentor, Captain Philippa Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh). Michael was resigned to spend the rest of her life in prison, and Discovery season 1's Burnham does not believe she deserves to be in Starfleet. The younger Michael's appearance is harsher than Captain Burnham's , and she is more prone to judgment and not looking before leaping into action. Captain Burnham beat Specialist Burnham in hand-to-hand combat because she was more centered and in control of herself, but also filled with empathy for the younger Michael.

Michael Burnham Is Star Trek's Best Captain Evolution

No captain has changed for the better as much as burnham..

Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 4 is a powerful reminder that Michael Burnham is the most evolved Captain ever in Star Trek . By comparison to some of her peers, Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) did not change very much as he aged, except for facing his own regrets. Admiral Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) in Star Trek: Prodigy is essentially the same as when she was the USS Voyager's Captain, just with a higher rank. Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) isn't as stern as he was when he was Captain of the USS Enterprise-D, but Jean-Luc never had to overcome the obstacles to the Captain's chair that Michael Burnham did.

It was incredibly touching for Michael to see how much she changed for the better.

Seeing Star Trek: Discovery season 1's Specialist Michael Burnham again is a stark reminder of how far Burnham has come. By Star Trek: Discovery season 5, Captain Burnham is confidently at peace with herself, has reconciled her gravest mistakes, and has proven her worth by saving the galaxy multiple times. Burnham has also known true love with Cleveland Booker (David Ajala), and she has the friendship and support of her found family, the crew of the USS Discovery. Specialist Michael Burnham is only at the start of her long, hard road to redemption , and becoming Captain Michael Burnham is her destiny in Star Trek: Discovery. It was incredibly touching for Michael to see how much she has changed for the better.
