Star Trek: Picard Season 2 is an “Encounter at Farpoint” Sequel

New DVD release, , , ,
In “Encounter at Farpoint,” Q (John de Lancie) put all of humanity on trial, partly, by pulling Troi, Data, Tasha, and Picard into a courtroom from the year 2079. What this first episode of The Next Generation did wasn’t subtle. In 1987, TNG was saying that the 24th Century was going to be awesome, but that the 21st Century was going to suck. And now, with Picard Season 2, Star Trek is tackling that legacy by seemingly blending the ‘80s notion of the 21st century with the actual 21st century. In this way, Picard is actually doing the most TNG…

Q’s Return on Star Trek: Picard Season 2 will Follow “Significant Trauma”

New DVD release, , , , ,
Star Trek: Picard is poised to bring back the disingenuously deferential greeting of “Bonjour, mon capitaine!” soon enough, with John de Lancie’s mischievous omnipotent entity, Q, now confirmed for a return on the show’s upcoming second season. It’s an intriguingly exciting development for the Star Trek: The Next Generation spinoff series, which has notably taken the titular former captain down a most curious existential path. Yet, according to star Patrick Stewart, Picard will be in the midst of devastating circumstances by the time Q materializes back into his life. Paramount+’s teaser trailer for Star Trek: Picard Season 2 is chockfull…

Star Trek Picard Season 2 Teaser Trailer: All the Easter Eggs & References

New DVD release, , , , ,
Mild spoilers for Picard Season 1 ahead. More than any of the new Star Trek series, Picard is the one that is the most stuffed with obvious Trekkie nostalgia. Yes, when Strange New Worlds starts showing some footage, we might feel differently, but because Picard is a sequel to the ‘90s-era of Trek, for this present moment, it connects with various generations of Trekkies at the same time. On “First Contact Day,” Paramount+ dropped a minimalist, spare teaser-trailer, similar to the vineyard teaser for Picard Season 1. But this time, as we swept through Picard’s study in Château Picard, the…

Star Trek: Picard Works Best as a Binge

New DVD release, ,
This Star Trek: Picard article contains spoilers for Season 1, and spoilers for Stranger Things Season 2. When Stranger Things Season 2 hit Netflix in 2017, I learned to hate the binge-model. Before I could catch my breath, I was already aware that it would take the entire season for Eleven to reunite with the boys, and I felt heartbroken. I didn’t mind the spoilers, I was just more frustrated that there wasn’t time to process all the twists and turns. From that point on (and maybe before) I rebelled, sometimes loudly, against the Netflix binge-model. For the most part,…

Star Trek: Picard — Ranking Season 1’s Deleted Scenes

New DVD release, , , ,
This Star Trek: Picard article contains some spoilers for Season 1. As Star Trek: Lower Decks finally debuts internationally on Amazon Prime, Star Trek: Picard Season 1 arrives on DVD and Blu-ray for the first time in the U.K. Although the Blu-ray snuck in a U.S. release back in October, it’s safe to say that Trekkies may have been pretty distracted by world-events (and Discovery Season 3!) at the time, and may not have delved-into all the extra Picard goodies! So, if you’re a U.S. reader and you missed the news about the Picard deleted scenes the first time around,…

Star Trek: Discovery’s Giant Starfleet Tree Has a Picard Connection

New DVD release, , , ,
This Star Trek: Discovery article contains spoilers for “People of Earth” and some decades old episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Despite landing in a future in which the Federation’s influence has been greatly diminished, Star Trek: Discovery Season 3 is shaping up to be far less dark and dystopic than many predicted. In Episode 3, “People of Earth,” the USS Discovery visited the home planet of the Federation, and although that visit was a mixed bag, things did end on a very hopeful note—one that is even more hopeful when you understand the canon significance of a certain…
