While the Star Trek: The Next Generation cast have hinted that they don’t want Star Trek: Picard Season 3 to be their last adventure, showrunner Terry Matalas did say that the season will include the passing of the baton moment that has marked other transitional moments in the franchise. Matalas and the Next Gen crew were guests at New York Comic Con, appearing during the Star Trek: Picard portion of the Star Trek Universe panel. A fan asked Matalas about the possibility of Picard’s final season having such a moment, in which the TNG crew would pass the torch to the new generation of captains, noting its difficulty given that the current crop of Star Trek shows is spread out through periods of time. Matalas offered no details but did confirm that such a scene is in store. Given the hurdles, it’ll be interesting to see what form that scene takes.
