Beef is the best Netflix series of the year so

Star Trek: Picard was caught in a constant struggle between legacy and realignment. The titular hero and admiral was haunted by his past, his parents and his misdeeds as a Borg. At the same time, in the first two seasons, the series chose a modernized Star Trek approach with a strong presence of action, a production based on the JJ Abrams films, and a new crew. This culminated in the disappointing second season.

However, Picard and his series will not find a balance until Season 3, the finale of which “The Last Generation” is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video *. Here in the article there is an explanation for the ending of Picard Season 3which is full of references to old Star Trek series and new projects.

The Picard Season 3 Finale: The Quick and Easy Recap

In the end, the crew of the Enterprise-D can destroy the Borg cube and thus prevent Starfleet, which has been partially assimilated, from attacking Earth. Picard, Jack, Riker, and Worf just beam up. All’s well that ends well. Several epilogues follow:

  • The Enterprise-D is sent into the well-deserved space pension.
  • Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) rises to the rank of Captain and is given command of the renamed Titan A, now Enterprise-G. Her crew includes Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers), Sidney La Forge (Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut) and Raffi Musik (Michelle Hurd).
  • Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) is appointed chief of Starfleet Medical Services.
  • Riker (Jonathan Frakes) and Troi (Marina Sirtis) are on vacation.
  • Data (Brent Spiner) explores his humanity in therapy.
  • The original stars of Star Trek: The Next Century sit down at the poker table towards the end, just like in the series finale that aired in 1994.
  • Jack Crusher receives a visit from Q (John de Lancie) in the credits scene. The mysterious being, according to its own statements, is leaving Picard and will test/annoy Jack in the future.

    Season 3 tells how the legacy of previous (series) generations continues and interacts in the present. The bad guys are a good example of this. They are remnants of the Dominion and the Borg, personified by changeling shapeshifter Vadic (Amanda Plummer) and the Borg Queen. The Dominion War was told in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, while in the series finale of Star Trek: Starship Voyager we witness Admiral Janeway poison the Borg in order to defeat them. The result is Season 3’s vengeful villains.

    On the way to the Borg Cube: Riker, Picard and Worf

    Her means of doing so is, for one, Jack Crusher, who was born with Borg DNA to his father, Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart). The other is the original body of Picard, who died in Season 1 (and was resurrected with a synthetic body). The shapeshifters manipulate Starfleet’s transporter code so that Picard’s Borg DNA is implanted in everyone who beams. With Jack as her mouthpiece and a burst of energy, the Borg Queen takes control of the fleet.

    However, the Enterpise-D (and its crew) is so old that it is not connected to the fleet network and thus uncontrollable by the Borg.

    This is how the Borg Queen is defeated in the end

    In the finale, the crew of the Enterpise-D tries to destroy the Borg Cube. Everything revolves around interpersonal connections that characters like Riker, Jack or Picard finally have to confront. Picard once again joins the Borg collective to speak with his assimilated son, Jack. This is how he convinces him to leave the collective.

    Riker faces grief for his son and love for Deanna Troi. “I love you Imzadi, We are waiting for you. Our boy and I”, he explains just before the explosion of the Borg cube. Imzadi is a term of endearment in the language of Troi. After this outburst of emotion, she tracks down his location. Riker, Picard, Jack and Worf (Michael Dorn) are beamed up before the Borg Cube explodes. The Enterprise-D gets away.

    After that, Admiral Crusher takes care of the Remove Borg DNA from the formerly assimilated bodies of Starfleet members. In addition, she has the transporter systems expanded to include a function that identifies changelings.

    More Picard Ending Questions Answered:

    Is Shaw really dead? Yes, unfortunately. But with his posthumous job assessment, he helps Seven of Nine become captain of the Enterprise-G.

    What does Picard’s speech mean? “There are tides in the hustle and bustle of people”, Picard raises before the poker game ends. He quotes William Shakespeare’s historical drama “Julius Caesar”. The famous speech of Caesar’s murderer Brutus expresses the need to seize the opportunity (the high tide) before it passes (the low tide). Or more generally: to appreciate the small and big moments in life before it’s too late.

    Will Seven of Nine get their own series? There are hints of a series called Star Trek: Legacy and the new Enterprise-G could lend itself to that. However, the series has not been officially confirmed.

    What does the credits scene mean and who is Q? With the credits scene, Star Trek: Picard ends in a kind of circular movement that promises a new beginning. For the omnipotent being Q visits Jack Crusher, just as his father Jean-Luc Picard visited in the very first episode of Star Trek: The Next Century. Q is fascinated by humans and introduces them to “Processes” to watch them squirm out. So after Picard, Jack will be his new “toy”.

    So Star Trek: Picard introduces a “next generation” at the end with Jack, Seven of Nine, Raffi and Sidney. At the same time, showrunner Terry Matalas and his team emphasize that the “last generation” around Picard remains irreplaceable.
