Star Trek: Picard, S03E08-09We begin the ending of "Star Trek: Picard" as we approach the last episode of season three, and the series overall. The trio jumps into some familiar looking bridge stations as we discuss the episodes "Surrender" and "Võx". From grisly enemy victories to heroic last minute saves, we look at how the story elements of Jack Crusher, the anatagonist (or secret, new/old antagonist!), and our favorite TNG characters are coming together for a grand finale.

Star Trek: Picard, S03E07Our "Star Trek: Picard: coverage continues as we examine "Dominion," an episode the reveals more about the backstory of series antagonist Vadic. What happened to other changelings in the Alpha Quadrant? We also see what fool-proof plan Picard can hatch to save the day ... unless it doesn't work??

Star Trek: Picard, S03E06You want Star Trek? This episode gives you Star Trek!The adventures continue on the USS Titan-A as they arrive at the Fleet Museum, led by a familiar Next Gen face and his (other) daughter, as well as the top super secret vault at the Daystrom Station, filled to the gills with all the leftover Trek props.The trio looks at the Picard episode "The Bounty", where the second half of the season begins. Join us as we press pause on our screens to capture all the fan service (in a good way!) extras, and we encounter the last of our main TNG crew to complete the set. How is the Next Gen crew doing in the 25th Century? Is there a next Next Gen crew being assembled? And what awaits us in the future?

Picard - Season 3, Episode 5The trio returns to their weekly reflections on season three of "Star Trek: Picard." The latest entry, "Imposters", continues the adventures of Picard and Riker on the USS Titan-A. The mystery of the changeling threat continues, as a Next Gen favorite returns - but not with a friendly face. A swirling of storyline between the Crushers (Beverly and Jack), Picard, Riker, Shaw, and some occassional glimpses of Seven marks the first half of the season's episodes.

Star Trek: Picard, Season three, episodes 2-4.The trio is back after sometime in sickbay, and they're happy to continue their voyage aboard the USS Titan-A. Season three of "Picard" has gotten more positive buzz than its prior two seasons, from both fans and critics. What is that enthusiasm based on? What new treatment of characters, plot, effects, etc. have made the past three episodes an improvement on prior seasons? Join us as we dive into the first half of season three of "Picard."

Picard 0301 - "The Next Generation"It's finally here! "Star Trek: Picard" kicks off its last season, and promised TNG reunion, with lots to chew on in this first episode. The trio boards the U.S.S. Titan-A and shares their opinions about its captain and first officer. Picard and Riker begin their buddy adventure with the mysterious reapperance of Dr. Crusher - what does this new journey promise? What's going on with Raffi? And who is next to show up from the Enterprise-D?

Writing the next TNG Film"Star Trek: Nemesis" marked that last big-screen outing for the TNG crew. As "Picard" season three reunites the crew for another (last?) adventure, the trio creates an alternative universe where we say goodbye to the Next Gen crew in a fifth movie. Where would we catch up with the crew? Who would be getting promoted? What new characters would be introduced?Join us for a movie with some, um, "call backs" to earlier movies and TV series. We create an outline that continues the story, while also providing closure for our favorite characters (especially those not as well served in other stories). It's a Generational final final FINAL journey movie!

The (Movie) TNG Goodbye: Star Trek: NemesisAs we look forward to "Star Trek: Picard" season three, with the final (?) journey of the TNG crew, the trio looks back to the original goodbye for that crew. There's conflicting stories about whether the fourth Next Gen film was meant to be a cinematic farewell - but considering Data's sacrifice, Riker's promotion and marraige to Troi, and deleted scenes that had other characters move on from the U.S.S. Enterprise-E, it seems it was "A Generation's Final Journey" (as the movie posters stated). How does this film work as a final goodbye? Were the themes introduced with the characters Shinzon and B-4 helpful? How were all the characters used? Does the movie still hold up? Join us as a we revisit this final (?) TNG film.

The "Gaps" in Star TrekThe Trek franchise continues to expand, and with more and more series and movies, fans learn more about this fantastic universe. But even after all this time, there are still stories that feel like they are "missing." The real-world reasons are obvious: Writers don't want to get into how Spock spent his time from post-Star Trek VI to the events of "Unification" (TNG) because they don't want to disrupt any future stories. Or else they just never got to telling the events of the Romulan War because "Enterprise" got cancelled. The trio takes this opportunity to explore the "untold" stories of the Trek franchise that deserve further investigation. From the voyages of the Enterprise-B to the Enterprise-E's missions during the Dominion War, from the history of the many lives of the Dax symbiont to the origin of the Borg, join us as we ask, "hey ... what happened?"

What if ... Starfleet Didn't Have Shields?In the ever popular game of comparing sci-fi franchises to each other, one unique aspect of Star Trek compared to others, like "Battlestar Galactica" and, to an extent, "Star Wars," is the presence of shields on starships during combat. The trio imagines a Trek universe where shields don't exist (or are not as effective), and ships show a little more wear and tear after they log a few star miles (or kilometers). How would our favorite "hero" ships and space stations look every season? Would there need to be new title sequences every year? Join us as we imagine how Starfleet combat doctrine and ship construction would change in this new imagined universe.
