![]() It’s the sort of self-deprecating humor that you expect from Picard and Riker and it’s hilarious no matter how many times you hear it. Throughout the episode, the duo dole out some delightful snark about their creaky joints, weak bladders, and the fact that they’ve fully stepped into “old fart” territory. Their conversation circumnavigates around a few key topics including Riker’s marital troubles, the fact no one has seen Beverly for over twenty years, Picard’s stint as Locutus, and the fact that they’re both feeling their age. At the bar, Picard and Riker delicately discuss the situation with Beverly and concoct a plan to essentially commandeer a starship and convince them to give them a lift to the edge of Federation space. At least, after a little prompting from Laris, and a lot of reflection about how badly things ended between him and Beverly. While Starfleet might be off limits, there is one Starfleet-adjacent individual that Picard is confident he can trust: Riker ( Jonathan Frakes). Even as the series prepares to reintroduce the crew of the Enterprise, it hasn’t forgotten that time and distance will always test the closest friends and the strongest relationships. Picard has, after all, put distance between himself and those he once considered his dearest friends. Like the objects aboard Beverly’s ship, Picard ruminates over the artifacts that he possesses that remind him of his old friends, and he considers the legacy that he might leave behind. He gazes adoringly at a painting of the Enterprise, which sparks a short conversation about “first loves” before Picard decides to have the painting sent away to Geordi La Forge ( LeVar Burton) who is now working for the Fleet Museum. With the dust newly settled on the events of the past two seasons, Picard is now focused on downsizing and considering what he might put in his memoirs. Seriously injured, she manages to make it onto the bridge, where she buys them a little more time by putting distance between them while sending a Hail Mary to none other than Jean-Luc Picard.Īt Château Picard, Picard and Laris ( Orla Brady) are enjoying a bit of spring cleaning, while reminiscing about the past. While Beverly is decently skilled with a weapon, she is ultimately no match against her attackers-especially not the ones outside of the ship. An astute viewer may recognize his voice as none other than Ed Speleers, but more on that later. ![]() RELATED: 'Star Trek: Picard' Season 3: Release Date, Trailer, Cast, and Everything We Know So FarĪnd Beverly isn’t alone aboard the vessel, but the camera keeps the man just out of focus and conceals him behind opaque doors as she locks him away and prepares to face the intruders alone. At odds with The Ink Spots’ ominous crooning, it seems that someone does indeed want to set Dr. Beverly Crusher ( Gates McFadden) who is rudely awoken by a warning that her ship has been breached. Crusher’s husband and one of Picard’s best friends and finally, there’s Dr. In an old Captain’s Log that is playing, Picard discusses an encounter that the Enterprise had with the Borg there’s a plaque that commemorates a Medical Away Team as Honorary Citizens on Cor Coroli V, which is a planet from an episode that dealt with Picard being replaced by a replica there’s an old piece of cargo that bears the name of Jack R. ![]() As The Ink Spots’ haunting tune “I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire” plays in the background, a tracking shot guides the audience down a walk through memory lane and even on the edges of Federation space, Jean-Luc Picard’s presence is felt. The premiere’s cold open is one that I think Star Trek fans will find themselves poring over time and time again as Season 3 unfolds. ![]()
