There has been a lot of skepticism surroundingStar Trek: Picards third season.
(I mean, theres a reason the third season has been calledTNG, season eight.)
But Im here to ask: Does it matter?
And, more specifically, are the two mutually exclusive?
Not everything has to be for everyone.
So who is it for?
Who would have thought theyd take that moment and turn it into anentireseason?
The Next Generation opens with aFallouthomage, as the camera pans over cluttered belongings on a ship.
Desperate, she sends a coded plea to Admiral Jean-Luc Picard for assistance.
These arent going to be cameos.
This is a full and authentic last adventure featuring characters we dearly love.
Which explains why Beverly emphasized in her message not to involve Starfleet and to trust no one.

The first officer of the Titan is none other thanSeven of Nine, now Commander Annika Hansen of Starfleet.
Its something that haunts him and that we know he continues to grapple with to this day.

And thats what they do as Captain Shaw watches angrily from the bridge of theTitan.
Will is taken prisoner by a young man who claims to be Jack Crusher, Beverlys son.
But before they can dive into it, a ship appears on the sensors.

TNGlegacy-character count: three.
The Rachel Garrett statue was a nice throwback to Yesterdays Enterprise.
Will and Deanna have problems??
Say it isnt so!
HIGH appreciation for both the sense of humor and the old-person banter in the episode.
Are Raffi and Seven still together?
c’mon TELL ME THEY ARE STILL TOGETHER.
My girlfriend left me isnt exactly promising, but Raffi is also undercover.
