Star Trek: Picard Season 3’s Starship Enterprise Return and Next Generation Reunion
“Our family of friends never stopped knowing one another, so there was no feeling of reunion,” Frakes stated of returning to the ship and reuniting with the Next Generation forged. (*3*)
Stewart added, “I found it wonderful because there was a lot of talking before it was finally confirmed there would be a new Star Trek show called Picard. During those conversations, I had felt strongly – largely based on my pride for what we had achieved with The Next Generation – that I didn’t want to mess up the work by making the show a series of sentimental reunion episodes, with us having fun and going on adventures. We’d done that, and we’d done it very well. Not all the time, but most of the time [laughs].
“But 20 years had handed. And I keep in mind Akiva Goldsman saying to me, ‘Patrick, your life has modified prior to now 20 years. So many issues have occurred to you. Are you a similar particular person you have been then?’ I spotted then that it did not should make reference to The Next Generation in any respect. What had been taking place to those characters in these 20 years? Who have been they immediately? I already knew mine had been up and down – captain, admiral, a desk job, not flying a spaceship.
McFadden concludes, “The reason to come back was that Terry [Matalas] pitched a really great story, and I loved it. I liked the fact it was different, that the character was much more three-dimensional as far as I was concerned. I loved that it was a story about the corruption of the Federation because our world today is so full of corruption; of the environment, of the values we’d grown up with. You read three newspapers in the morning and you’re ready to go back to bed.”
