11: Honoring the Saga

Preparing for Star Trek: Picard Season 3 As the story of Picard enters its final chapter, old friends return for one more epic journey together. But will it really be their last? In this episode of The Artificial Tango, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing prepare for Star Trek: Picard Season 3 by looking back at the first two seasons and then ahead to the third. We discuss the lack of cohesion in storytelling from season to season—and how that was by design—and ask what could have been and what is to come as the crew of the Enterprise-D (and E!) reunite. We also reflect on Nemesis, speculate on the Jean-Luc and Beverly relationship, and shower lots of praise on Terry Matalas for honoring the saga of Star Trek.
