On April 20, the third and final season of Star Trek: Picard concluded on Paramount+ in a triumphant finale that rocked audiences to their core. Without a doubt, the series brought Star Trek back to its best in over 20 years.
Following the mixed negative reception of the last two seasons from audiences, along with previous showrunners Alex Kurtzman and Akiva Goldsman departing to work on their own Star Trek projects, Terry Matalas, former production associate of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and writer of Star Trek: Enterprise, was brought on board to write season three. It is clear that this is a finale that was written by the fans, for the fans.
On Monday, Feb. 13, the 92nd Street Y theater in Manhattan hosted a historic sold out event for an advanced screening of Season 3 of the highly anticipated Star Trek: Picard. It is safe to say, Star Trek is back at its best in over twenty years.
In 1991, Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry died at the age of 70 after producing the original Star Trek series from 1966 and the rebooted Star Trek: The Next Generation in 1987. In 1993, at the tail end of the final season of The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was created, the first Trek series to not be headed by Roddenberry.
With its high-stakes action, intriguing worldbuilding and excellent character work, Star Trek: Discovery, which began its second season this past January, continues to bring fresh takes on old Trek formulas.
