Picard Finally Agreed to Do the Thing
After years of batting aside the chance to bring many of them back—outside of Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis’ appearances in season one—Picard softened the bitter pill of announcing its third season as its final one by revealing that almost all of The Next Generation’s primary bridge crew were back for one last adventure. And this was no quick cameo: they’re as much as part of the show as Picard himself is.
Sure, we’ve yet to see the results—Picard season three won’t air until February. It could be an absolute disaster. At least, however, the footage we’ve seen so far seems to suggest that, much like season two, what can feel like a bit of a disaster can still be kind of fun to experience along the way, so we’re chalking this one up as a win so far.
