Star Trek: Picard Discussion (WARNING: SPOILERS)

[Tuskin38]

Season 2 airs February 2022, no exact date yet.

The showrunner for Seasons 2 and 3 has been posting a lot set and prop teases on twitter. I assume they're for season 3, because it doesn't look like anything we've seen for season 2, yet.

There's a returning minor TNG actor, April Grace playing an Admiral Whitney.

She played transporter chief Maggie Hubbell in 5 episodes of TNG and one episode of DS9.

Could be the same character. Changed her last name, got married etc.

Or could be a new character. Seems from the photos we've seen thus far, and what we know from trailers, she may be offering Picard his commission back, as "Chancellor" of Starfleet Academy.

Or could be a new character.

Seems that was the case, he calls her 'Sally' in the episode


Anyways, wow, that's a lot to unpack. Here, that was a very exciting 55 minutes. Good plot development, character rediscovery and catchup, new character development. Some world building, new (canon) ship designs.

Production designer Dave Blass is posting a bunch of ship art from episode 1.

Interiors. My guess this might be a prelude to a possible Star Trek: Stargazer spinoff following the end of Picard season 3... fingers crossed.

Big TNG reunion in Season 3.
