"Picard's Season 3 Finale: A Successful Fan-Service Reunion Unlike The Mandalorian"

The finale of "Star Trek: Picard" succeeded where "The Mandalorian" failed, offering lessons about IP storytelling today. "Picard" invested old symbols with new meaning, showed real evolution of its characters, evolved the meaning of the greatest "Trek" villains, created a real sense of atmosphere and stakes, and recognized there's an element of "playing with toys" to this story. In every way that matters, "Picard" had the edge over "The Mandalorian" this season.

Patrick Stewart Teases Emotional 'Star Trek' Return in Action-Packed Finale.

Patrick Stewart, who played Jean-Luc Picard in "Star Trek: The Next Generation," initially had no interest in revisiting the world of "TNG" but was convinced to return for "Star Trek: Picard" without the rest of the "TNG" cast. However, in Season 3, the full cast of "TNG" was reunited for a story involving Picard and Crusher's adult son, Jack. While Stewart remained steadfast in his conviction that "Picard" should have started without a "TNG" reunion, he adored getting to act again with his old castmates and lifelong friends. He indicated that while "Picard" is over, he may not be done with "Star Trek" just yet.

"Star Trek: Picard Finale Teases Exciting Spinoff Possibilities"

The final season of "Star Trek: Picard" brought back the entire crew of The Next Generation, giving them much better and richer material than what they got to play back in the Eighties and Nineties. The season's concluding four chapters amplified this feeling, with the TNG gang finally coming together in full. The season made great use of various vintage Trek movie scores, but the prominence of Jerry Goldsmith's great First Contact theme also meant that every time Jean-Luc railed against his enemies, all I could think about was him screaming at Worf and Alfre Woodard's Lily in that film. The finale sets up a potential spinoff, where Seven of Nine is the captain of the newly-rechristened Enterprise-G, Raffi is her first officer, Geordi's daughter Sidney remains at the helm, and the multi-talented but reckless Jack is, for now, the ship's counselor.

'Star Trek: Picard' Series Finale Delivers a Satisfying and Glorious Sendoff.
