Star Trek: Picard
Summary
Star Trek : Picardtold the post - Star Trek : The Next Generationstory of Admiral Jean - Luc Picard ( Patrick Stewart ) in three season that vacillate creatively and in hearing chemical reaction . AfterStar Trek : Discoverywas met with a definitely polarizing reception , Paramount must have breathed a suspiration of relief whenPatrick Stewart jibe to recapitulate his role of Jean - Luc Picardfrom the still extremely popularStar Trek : The Next Generation . No one was particularly happy withStar Trek Nemesis , the final film featuring theTNGcast , so aPicardseries seemed like a prime opportunity to set things correct .
And yetStar Trek : Picardwas nigh as divisive asStar Trek : Discoverywhen it debut . Now retired to his family vineyard , Admiral Jean - Luc Picard found himself isolated and depress . Picard ’s oldcrew from the USS Enterprise - Dwere ( mostly ) nowhere to be found , supersede by a emphatically more neurotic , ragtag bottom crew . Picarddidn’t typeset out to be a straightStar Trek : The Next Generationreunion , butthe ways in whichStar Trek : Picarddiffered fromTNGcould sometimes be jarring . And yet the show found its basis by the end , leaning on the strength of Jean - Luc Picard and his worldly concern to have one terminal , brilliant account . Here ’s howStar Trek : Picard ’s 3 seasons stack up .
Star Trek : Picard season 3 ’s cast let in several new character and the restitution of some of the expectant names and iconic character in Star Trek .
3Star Trek: Picard Season 2 (2022)
Showrunners: Akiva Goldsman and Terry Matalas
Star Trek : Picardseason 2 had so much potential . It begins with two neat episode , with its season premiere , " The Star Gazer , " serving as one of the strong hours ofStar Trektelevision in years . It even brought back Picard ’s old nemesis , the omnipotent tricksterQ ( John de Lancie ) , still as menacing and compelling as he was inStar Trek : The Next Generation ’s first episode , " Encounter At Farpoint . " But once Picard and friends journey back to the 21st hundred to readjust the timeline , Star Trek : Picardseason 2 ’s plot loses its way of life .
Some of this was unavoidable . Star Trek : Picardseason 2was shot at the tallness of the pandemic ; construction and shoot on new indoor sets at the time was cunning , which is why so much of the season features Picard aimlessly walking around forward-looking - day Los Angeles . Even keep the grim reality of the world at that time in brain , Picardseason 2 had inherent flawsthat could have been define to make a tighter time of year . Q ’s overall secret plan to ultimately help Picard confront his puerility traumas by changing the timeline into a fascistic alternate reality withstand system of logic and a straightforward account .
Further , the subplot aboutJean - Luc ’s self-destructive female parent , Yvette Picard ( Madeline Wise ) , never quite Din Land with the impingement it should ; it feels port in from another show entirely . The moreStar Trek : Picardexamined Jean - Luc ’s psyche , the less it seemed to see the character . That said , the season is n’t a total departure , as Dr. Agnes Jurati ( Alison Pill ) gets a amazingly blue , fascinating story to toy out with an alternate realism Borg Queen ( Annie Wersching).It just feels likeStar Trek : Picardseason 2 ran out of story to tellbefore it set about to the goal furrow .
2Star Trek: Picard Season 1 (2020)
Showrunner: Michael Chabon
get the damaging out of the agency first , almost nothing that happens on theBorg cube known as the ArtifactinStar Trek : Picardseason 1 ’s first half - dozen installment matter . While killing off Dahj Asha ( Isa Briones ) inPicard ’s serial premiere was a sheer , disgraceful move , it essentially function to make the reset button on the account for Soji Asha ( Isa Briones ) , Dahj ’s synthetic twin aboard the Artifact , for the majority ofPicardseason 1 . Briones does what she can with the material , but aconvoluted Romulan mythology about fearing synthetics and an underwhelming reveal of an excess - astronomic villaincreate a dud terminate after a season - farsighted build - up .
Star Trek : Picardseason 1 ’s outcome with death and force are fairly well - document , peculiarly the torture vista in " Stardust City Rag . " BelovedStar Trek : The Next GenerationandStar Trek : Voyagercharacterslike Hugh ( Jonathan Del Arco ) and Icheb ( Casey King ) encounter violent ends that sometimes feel exploitatory . Much likeStar Trek : Discoverybefore it , Picardsimply misjudge the level of wildness and cynicism most witness were looking forin aStar Trekseries .
And yet Patrick Stewart had never been better than he was inStar Trek : Picardseason 1.Stewart embodies the wounded , grieving Picardheartbreakingly , as a man who intelligibly knows he ’s made misapprehension in his sprightliness but does n’t know if he has the power to fix them so late in his lifetime . There are other thing to wish aboutStar Trek : Picardseason 1 , like Santiago Cabrera ’s delightful scoundrel Captain Cristobal Rios , but the main event here is one of the bang-up actors of his genesis proving he still has his bullet .

Showrunner: Terry Matalas
Once he was name showrunner ofStar Trek : Picardseason 3 , Terry Matalas was dictated to give the beloved characters ofStar Trek : The Next Generationthe proper sendoff they never got on the big CRT screen . Matalas pull that off and then some . The entireStar Trek : The Next Generationcast retort for the net time of year ofPicard , reuniting to take on a straggle conspiracy that threaten Starfleet at the highest levels .
Patrick Stewart is still in fine contour , giving some of his rawest performances as he deals with the revelation of his newfound sonJack Crusher ( Ed Speleers ) , whose mother , Dr. Beverly Crusher ( Gates McFadden ) , go forth as smarter and tougher thanTNGallowed her to be . The real treat of the season , however , is the entire returningTNGcast . Jonathan Frakes has but never been good as an older , funnier , more world - weary sea captain Will Riker , while the newly pacificist Captain Worf ( Michael Dorn ) seemingly got nothing but classic one - lining to deport all time of year . LeVar Burton and Brent Spiner have slightly more special part , but they render tear - jerking operation during the show ’s final stretching as Commodore Geordi La Forge and the resurrect , more human - like Data .
