This Star Trek: Picard review contains spoilers.

Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Episode 10

All good things must come to an end. Even the things we might wish wouldn’t. Such is the case with Star Trek: Picard , a series that, to put it mildly, struggled to find a coherent identity and purpose during its first two seasons, but which blossomed in its third and did so by finally embracing the very legacy it at first tried so hard to run away from. I’m as surprised as anyone to find myself wishing this story could last just a little bit longer, that we could somehow spend a little bit more time with these people, that we didn’t have to say goodbye to this piece of Star Trek: The Next Generation , grown older alongside us in rich and fascinating ways. 

Look: If you, as a viewer, haven’t been enjoying the purposeful fan service of Picard season 3, you probably aren’t going to like this finale all that much, which aims itself like a laser directly at the heart of anyone who loved The Next Generation and its characters. Yes, there are some narrative hiccups and shortcuts, but if you ask me,  “The Last Generation” sticks the landing in nearly every way that matters. 

The final confrontation with the Borg and the assimilated Starfleet armada is pure spectacle, dotted with the sort of ’90s-style action movie hero moments that exist for no other purpose than simply to delight viewers. (Seven’s captain’s speech to her ragtag new Titan crew! Beverly Crusher’s surprising tactical skill with photon torpedoes! Worf refusing to fight with phasers because swords are just more fun!) Yet, as has been the case for most of the season, the hour’s best moments are its most emotional ones, each grounded in the decades-long relationships between the Enterprise’s legacy crew.

Ad – content continues below

From Picard’s choked-up inability to express what his Number One has meant to him over the course of their lives together, to Riker’s wordless telepathic goodbye to Deanna and Geordi’s wonder at Data’s enthusiastic embrace of the new emotions he’s only now finally experiencing, these are all moments that carry extra weight simply because these are relationships we’ve spent literal years watching grow. We love these people as much as they love each other, and the result is a climax that feels both utterly earned and deeply satisfying. 

Picard , of course, knows that the specifics of its conclusion aren’t all that important in light of these facts, but it does manage to (mostly) tie up its larger story in a generally solid way. (Certainly, it does a better job here than in either of its previous season finales.) Picard’s willingness to risk becoming Locutus again in order to save his son is the thematically rich stuff that Patrick Stewart lives to play, and seeing him face off with the Borg Queen one last time is probably where this series was always destined to end. Do the specifics of Jack Crusher’s assimilation and rescue—including his sudden ability to throw off Borg control—really work? Not entirely. But Picard leans fully into the cheesy heart of the moment, and Stewart and Ed Speleers sell the heck out of Jean-Luc’s decision to finally choose his son over everything he’s always put before things like family in the past. 

To the episode’s credit, “The Last Generation” also features some remarkably tense moments, despite all of us essentially knowing going into this that there was no way anything irrevocably awful would happen to any of our The Next Generation faves. Yet, at various moments I was genuinely nervous about the fates of several characters, particularly when both Riker and Picard got the whole “tell your loved one how much they mean to you just in case” treatment on the Borg cube. (Riker did it more than once!!) But, thankfully, this isn’t a bleak and gritty sci-fi drama, it’s a warm fuzzy affirmation that love is still humanity’s greatest achievement. (And a story in which its central romance just happens to share a telepathic bond that conveniently allows one to somehow emotionally track the other in a moment of great distress. We love love!)

Picard Season 3 Finally Reveals the Future of a Beloved Original Series Character

Perhaps the most unexpected part of the Picard finale is how quickly the episode wraps up the threat of Borg invasion . “The Last Generation” clocks in at over an hour’s runtime, but the last quarter of the episode is basically devoted to giving us a last few moments of our faves together and determining what’s next for all of them. (And maybe setting up an unexpected spinoff in the process.) Geordi returns the Enterprise -D to the Fleet Museum, where she’s given pride of place among the other classic Starfleet ships and a proper goodbye from the three men who loved her best. (Which includes a callback to The Next Generation ’s very first episode.) Data’s talking out all his new Big Feelings extremely extensively during sessions with Deanna. The Troi-Rikers are planning what’s likely their first vacation together since their son’s illness forced them to retire to a planet it turns out they both actively hate. And, of course, everyone’s getting totally bombed together at 10 Forward, playing poker and quoting Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar just like the good old days and reminding us all that these are the sort of relationships that, once again, will keep going on long after the series’ final credits roll.

In many ways, Picard’s finale doesn’t feel as much like a definitive ending as it does a “to be continued,” the conclusion of one adventure in the lives of these characters and the start of many others, whether we ultimately see them play out onscreen or not. It’s incredibly heartfelt and lovely, and maybe the best thing any of us could have asked for from this series’ conclusion. If that is, in fact, what it is. Star Trek: Picard may be over, but if the finale’s credits sequence is anything to go by, there’s plenty of story to tell in this corner of the Star Trek universe. 

Jack Crusher, as we all likely expected, ends up in Starfleet, and is assigned to the newly rechristened Titan —now the Enterprise -G, in honor of Picard—under her new captain, Seven of Nine. (Sorry, Enterprise-F, at least that one shot of you last week was a banger!) Raffi’s her First Officer and while there’s no direct confirmation that the two are back together, if hope springs eternal anywhere, it’s probably going to be on this show. But what will inevitably leave everyone talking is the incredibly welcome reappearance of John de Lancie as Q (with predictably incredible outerwear), a twist that not only wipes out his season 2 death but appears to have extended his original obsession with Picard to his son. And I…surprisingly don’t hate it. 

Yes, the one-year time jump to what appears to be happy families between Jean-Luc, Jack, and Beverly speeds us past all the difficult and necessary emotional work it surely must have taken the group to reach this point. (And, personally, I’m taking the utter lack of any mention of Laris as a hopeful sign on the Picard/Crusher romance front, do not judge me.) But it’s such a natural extension of the Picard universe that I’m eager to see where it all might go next.

Fandom’s clamoring for a Star Trek: Legacy series, after all. And even if I’d personally rather see Jonathan Frakes get his shot at the captain’s chair—No, Star Trek: Lower Decks doesn’t count—I’m definitely not averse to the idea of a series in which Jack’s established relationships with his father’s former crewmates and BFFs are part of the larger world of his story either. After all, Picard Season 3 has taught me nothing so much that sometimes, impossible things can happen if you want them bad enough. But if this is the true end of an era, and our time with The Next Generation crew is over, I’m grateful this is how they got to go out, and that we all got the chance to be part of it.

Star Trek: Picard season 3 teaser reunites the Next Generation crew for one more mission

The final season premieres in February 2023

Boldly going where no one has gone before is... fine. But boldly going where we’ve all been before might not be so bad either. That’s the big gamble of Star Trek: Picard season 3, which not only brings Patrick Stewart’s Trek captain back for a final adventure, but pairs him with his original crew from Star Trek: The Next Generation .

The trailer for the nostalgia-heavy season 3, which will arrive next February, debuted during Paramount Plus’ “Star Trek Day” livestream, and gave us new looks at LeVar Burton’s Geordi La Forge, Michael Dorn’s Worf, Gates McFadden’s Dr. Beverly Crusher, and Marina Sirtis’ Deanna Troi. Next Gen and Picard alum Jonathan Frakes and Brent Spiner also return to the series, alongside Jeri Ryan and Michelle Hurd. 12 Monkeys creator Terry Matalas steps in as showrunner for the season, which will also be the series’ last.

The trailer for Picard season 3 is vague on plot details, but does reveal the captain and his crew’s new ride: the USS Titan, commanded by Captain William T. Riker, a starship with serious Enterprise vibes. We also see Dr. Crusher holding off some masked foes with a rifle, and a Federation building imploding — things remain not good in the utopian future!

What’s going on and why Picard needs to call his work fam for help will become clear when Star Trek: Picard season 3 premieres on Paramount Plus on Feb. 16, 2023.

Star Trek: Picard’s season 3 premiere is free to watch online

You can stream ‘the next generation’ on youtube or from the paramount plus website — but only for a limited amount of time..

The first episode of Star Trek: Picard ’s third and final season is available to stream online for free, as spotted earlier by Gizmodo . You can either watch the full, hour-long premiere on YouTube or from the Paramount Plus website , but it’s only available for a limited time .

Star Trek: Picard ’s final season sees Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) reuniting with some of his USS Enterprise crewmates, including Worf (Michael Dorn), William Riker (Jonathan Frakes), Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton), Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden), and Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) as they face off against a new foe, Vadic (Amanda Plummer).

The season premiere, aptly titled “The Next Generation,” debuted on Paramount Plus last week, with the streamer adding new episodes each Thursday. In a review of the show’s first six episodes , The Verge ’s managing editor Alex Cranz calls the show a “very fun sequel to Star Trek: The Next Generation:”

While this season puts its characters in terrible spots, and there are rumors a few will die by season’s end, this wild ride has a real genuine affection for all the players. It’s the absolute most fun I’ve had watching Paramount Plus’ myriad of  Star Trek  shows. And part of my love of this final season comes from how excited the show is to take some of  Star Trek ’s most flawless heroes and find the humanity in them.

You’ll have to pay for a Paramount Plus subscription if you want to catch the rest of the episodes, and, unfortunately, the streamer’s planning on increasing its prices soon . Paramount also doesn’t specify how long the episode will be available for, so if you’ve been debating whether to get back into Star Trek , now seems like a good time to do it.

NEW Star Trek: Picard Clip Starts The Season 3 Plot

Jack Trestrail

While we’re almost at the end of 2022, Star Trek isn’t done. A brand new Star Trek: Picard Clip kickstarts the mystery of season 3 for us. The clip, which you can watch below, was included in this week’s edition of “ The Ready Room “. The Star Trek aftershow is hosted by Wil Wheaton. However, while it was a focus on Star Trek: Prodigy , it had to tease what was next in the Star Trek Universe . Therefore, a tease of Star Trek: Picard Season 3 .

There are fewer than 50 Days until the Star Trek: Picard series finale. While the third season will air on February 16th via Paramount+, we still do not know much about the plot. However, there have been hints at two characters sharing much of the story. Sir Patrick Stewart’s Jean-Luc Picard has unfinished business with Gates McFadden’s Beverly Crusher. Therefore, might this be who is trying to contact him via the comm badge?

The Mystery Of The Star Trek: Picard Clip

The clip opens with Picard writing in his Chateau residence. Additionally, as confirmed by Wil Wheaton, this clip takes place in the season premiere episode. This episode is also written by Showrunner Terry Matalas and directed by Doug Aarniokoski. The ping of a Starfleet comm badge briefly haunts Picard. While his computer is no help, it sens Jean-Luc searching around his study. However, while digging through boxes, we can see relics of his past life.

Eventually, Picard finds his old Starfleet box. He throws his old iconic red uniform aside. Something I can imagine many Trekkies gasping at. However, upon picking up the old combadge we can see Jean-Luc pause for a moment. Likely remembering his past. The computer reveals that there is an encrypted message being sent to the communications device. However, as Jean-Luc asks, why would someone send something to a 20-year-old communications badge?

The Star Trek: Picard Clip cuts off here, with Picard asking himself why anyone would contact this old device. I do love how the computer chips in with her own input. While I’m on the subject, is there more to this computer voice than meets the eye? Maybe not. We’re left with a mystery. Who is contacting Jean-Luc Picard via this old device? Well, I personally think the answer is obvious right now. Based on the Star Trek: Picard Season 3 trailers, it’s Beverly Crusher.

youtube star trek picard season 3

Crushers Distress Call

Star Trek: Picard Season 3 might see unresolved matters between Jean-Luc and Beverly. Additionally, this has been suggested by both cast and creatives. Crusher sends a distress call message to Jean-Luc Picard in the teaser trailer. Additionally, the trailer editing lines up Picard picking up the commbadge with the voice of Crusher. Therefore, this suggests that she sends the coded message to her old Captain.

The original teaser trailer opens with Crusher’s ship being boarded. Her new ship is actually an old Starfleet vessel. It’s named the “SS Eleos” and belongs to the new organization crusher works for. Think “Doctor’s without borders”. Additionally, it’s previously been revealed that Season 3 starts with Doctor Crusher. Therefore, expect to see Beverly being active and having a good fight. Gates McFadden recently spoke about how she loved returning to play Crusher again. Speaking to Den of Geek Magazine, she said the following:

As an actor, you can’t help but bring the changes in you into that performance. We have all become closer over the years, and so to have a chance to act again together in the same roles… it was extraordinary to me that it could even happen. It was really quite wonderful to be looking into Patrick’s eyes or Jonathan’s and know that there’s so much love, as well as laughter and bonding, between all of us.

How to Watch Every Star Trek Movie and Show In Timeline Order

Figuring out chronological timeline of  Star Trek  over can be overwhelming for even the most seasoned of Trekkies. With over 50 years of mirrorverses, time traveling back and forth, alternate timelines and spin-offs, we’ve created a guide for how to watch every  Star Trek  series and film in order. We’ve organized it by Stardate instead of year of release for optimal accuracy, but note that some series like  TNG  and  DS9  run concurrently.

Star Trek: Enterprise  (2151-2161)

Star Trek: Discovery Seasons 1 and 2  (2255-)

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2255-)

Star Trek: The Original Series  (2265-2269)

Star Trek: The Animated Series  (2269-2270)

Star Trek: The Motion Picture  (2273)

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan  (2285)

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock  (2285)

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home  (2286/1986)

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier ( 2287)

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country  (2293)

Star Trek: The Next Generation  (2364-2370)

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine  (2369-2375)

Star Trek: Lower Decks  (2380)

Star Trek: Picard  (2399-)

Star Trek: Discovery Season 3  (3155?)

Star Trek: Short Treks  (2239-3300 Prime Timeline)

The “Kelvin Timeline” refers to the newest Trek movies directed by  J.J. Abrams  and Justin Lin. The timeline of these films exist in a parallel universe created in 2233, so we’ve included them separately.

Star Trek  (2258 Kelvin Timeline)

Star Trek Into Darkness  (2259 Kelvin Timeline)

Star Trek Beyond  (2263 Kelvin Timeline)
