"“It was not going to be this.”
Terry Matalas doesn’t mince words about the difficulty of getting the “Next
Generation” band back together for Season 3 of “Star Trek: Picard.” In fact,
when he came onboard as showrunner prior to the second season, there was no
plan for a reunion of the beloved Enterprise-D crew (nor an appearance from the
ship itself).
“Because that was not the show they had set out to make,” he added in a new
interview with IndieWire, alongside production designer Dave Blass. “‘Picard’
was the deconstruction of Jean-Luc Picard, and it had a new cast, and there’s
nothing wrong with that.”
Matalas knew, though, that bringing back the full “Next Generation” cast for
one final adventure — after their voyages came to a thud of an end with 2002’s
“Star Trek: Nemesis” — would be electric if it happened.
He made it so."
