Star Trek Picard Season 3 Episode 5 Review With Special Guest: Showrunner TERRY MATALAS!

Ro Laren, played by Michelle Forbes, makes a surprising appearance on Picard as one of the Federation officers sent to rebuke Jean-Luc and Riker. Ro's character was a rare figure in "Next Generation," questioning the status quo and valuing personal identity. She was the perfect person to tell Jean-Luc that Starfleet is compromised at the highest level. In the "Picard" version of Ro, she is a commander now, recruited to Starfleet Intelligence after being court-martialed and undergoing an "arduous rehabilitation program."
Jean-Luc's frustration and hurt at Ro's betrayal is palpable. However, even though he fundamentally misread Ro, he still trusts her. Ro reveals that changelings are everywhere within Starfleet, and as it turns out, they are right next to her, planting a bomb on her shuttle. This closure to Ro's character is innovative and well-executed.
This episode is the best in a strong season for "Picard." Ro's character and surprising appearance provide a nostalgic callback to "Next Generation" while also giving us new insights into the Picard universe.

[@atlanta2076]

I do have a question for you guys; tell me I'm wrong, but isn't it true that the changelings in DS9 were not able to mimic people as accurately as - for instance - the T-1000 could? The way I recall it, human appearances of changelings (much like Odo's) left much to be desired. In terms of fooling anybody that changelings could look like actual humans. Therefore, isn't it the fact that changelings are now able to look human on the outside that should have startled the Titan's crew, rather than them being able to also mimic humans on the inside with organs?

[@RATLOVIN900]

I really couldn't be happier with season 3, this is star trek truly at it's best exactly the way it should always be. Every character thoroughly fleshed out and all plot points met with a complete and accurate telling of the entire story.

[@michaelgarrity6090]

And no superfluous tangents that seemed to go nowhere. Every plotline seems to be going somewhere as part of a coherent whole moving the narrative along. It's great that each character here , each has something vital they are adding to the story and adding to their character development arc.

[@nicocba2007]

The lines Picard tells Jack "many rebels from all reaches of the galaxy have found their way to Star Fleet", more than an invitation to Jack to join the fleet they are actually foreshadowing the return of Ro a few minutes later, and are another sample of very good writing of this season.

[@thomascampbell789]

Slight correction...Worf uses a new weapon called a Kur'leth. Shaw didn't point out the TNG episode Time Squared, he pointed out All Good Things..., you know that because he says "created a time paradox in the Devron System."

[@ThePopcast]

Thanks for this Thomas. We actually thought they snuck in a Bat'leth there for a good Rodden Berry, but you are right it was still the Kur'Leth. And also 100% correct about All Good Things. We had a scripting error that is normally caught. Thank you for the correction!

Season 3 of Star Trek: Picard is by far and away the best Star Trek I've seen. Beautifully done, fabulously acted, very well written, it's an old geek lady's dream come true! Picard has me hooked all over again proving yet again why I'm a Star Trek fan and proud that I named my youngest son Patrick Stewart. (Sorry I didn't ask permission, Sir Patrick!) I can't wait to see the second half of the season.

This series gets better and better, getting to watch this with my 16 year old son and seeing his reaction is a joy, thanks terry for steering the series in this direction and for all of your , RMB and trek cultures videos are blinding 🇬🇧👍

When this final season ends, on that day I shall mourn.

[@ptaylor5014]

Season 3 is an epic star trek story that most of us have been crying out for, we have been waiting for something like this since Nemesis ended, Picard S1&2 were ok at best, but S3 so far is a real blast and can't wait for the next episode 👍👍, hope we get a proper send off for the TNG crew, though some people have sugested that 1 or 2 of them will be killed off before the final episode.

[@atlanta2076]

Here's what puzzles me: The voice that talks to Jack belongs to Beverly. It's confirmed by the captions of CBS. And you can tell it's Beverly if you listen carefully. That makes it even more strange. Why would she tell her son to find her, when she's on the same ship with him. Something very disturbing is going on here. And I LOVE it! Show gets better and better! ♥♥♥

[@jbphoto99]

my guess is locutus implanted piece of sperm borg nano tech into jack when he impregnated Beverly. Jack is borg with speed killer instincts and voice to come home is Mother Borg

[@mjohnson2737]

I've assumed there is a risk that another or something is copying Beverly Crusher's voice to confuse and misdirect Jack Crusher. Or maybe manipulate him to involuntarily orchestrate the release of something that the TNG crew dealt with years ago, other than the usual high profile villains suspects viewers usually first think of.

[@mjohnson2737]

I'm very unsure about this, but I'm wondering whether Jack is seeing through the eyes of another who is actually doing the killing but visualises himself carrying out these acts, as we too see, but it is another being doing the deeds. In other words, there may telepathic powers impacting upon Crusher.

[@atlanta2076]

@@mjohnson2737 Yeah, I now tend to believe that someone is faking Bev's voice. I think I have a pretty good idea what's about to go down on Daystrom Station next week, but I'm totally clueless as to what's been happening to Jack. But I trust that Terry is playing a very, very deep game here, and that the reveal is gonna put a huge smile on my face. Man, it's been SO long since I was THIS invested in a season :)

[@mjohnson2737]

Another fantastic recap of an incredible episode. I'm still, five weeks in, stunned at how good this show is and how Terry Matalas has turned it all around. Love hearing his tidbits at the end, too. So glad you got to talk with him and get those insights to share. I have missed all this. Great Trek, and great conversation about it. Your work is appreciated!

[@ThePopcast]

Thanks Joshua!

[@BigCowProductions]

I'm surprised NO one has looked at the ckosed captioning, which shows the mysterious female voice to Jack Crusher is Beverly's voice.

[@danbach7748]

It is consistently listed as Beverly in the CC? I have not watched with captions on. Sometimes the voice sounds like Beverly clear as a bell, sometimes sounds like Vadic, sometimes sounds like an indistinct female voice, and a couple times (I think) it's sounded like an indistinct male voice.

[@mjohnson2737]

I assume hearing the voice of Beverly Crusher is likely to be a misdirection. Probably the same applies for a Borg Queen voice too.

[@BigCowProductions]

@@danbach7748 i can't recall if it is ubiquitous. But I remember seeing her name each time it has happened, though.

[@BigCowProductions]

@@mjohnson2737 right. Like, maybe, using his Mom's voice to mess with him

[@jmckillican]

People are thinking Jack is a changeling. But I’m thinking he has some borg in him that he got from Picard and something is being activated inside him. Maybe the voice is the borg collective talking to him.

[@jasonkyer8572]

I think captain Shaw and seven of nine should have their own series.

[@fotomaton7852]

Phenomenal episode. Closing the Ro arc is genius and was so well executed. Definitely brought tears to my eyes. Terry really knows and understands Trek, he's like our Dave Filoni. Give the man a show CBS !!!

I want a season 4 now

[@ChicagoDeb]

And 5 too. The first two Picard seasons shouldn't count toward the three we were promised!

[@Firenutz]

RESISTANCE IS FUTILE. Jack inherited dormant Borg DNA from his father. The new Queen activated him sleeper agent-style to take out the four Changelings. The only species that poses a bigger threat to all of existence is going to turn the tide in an inevitable and epic Borg-Changeling War with Jack at the helm as this series’ evolved offspring of Locutus, “the only Borg so deadly they gave him a goddamn name.” Who’s with me?

[@yankeesrule587]

Lol, no

[@aleta5873]

The new Queen said she would be around to save the day though.

[@jeffstewart454]

I do not see how there would be "Borg DNA". The borg impant devices into living bodies, but I have never seen any suggestion that the Borg alter DNA itself, let alone that the it is passed on, although I cannot say it is clea, since I have not seen any instances of current or former Borg fathering children.

[@Too_ResidentEvil2]

I just love season 3. this is truly star trek, the way it was meant to be. Amazing

[@Anakele20]

Worf seems to be the only person positively impacted by the passage of time. I can think of no character more appropriate to mentor Rafi and to bring her out of her darkness. Goofy main baddie aside, this season has been so good. Oh, and having a Laforge handle her business has been a delight. Also, having a detractor get a first hand glimpse as to how and why the Enterprise crew might have needed to bend the rules all those years ago is pretty awesome as well.

[@chevelle1967]

Is the Voice to Jack his mother? Is Jack a changeling? Got to admit Im really enjoying Season 3 !!!

[@johnhemingway1]

Guys. I’m only 9 min in and there are issues: Worf’s new weapon is a Kur’leth, not a Bat’leth. And the time paradox in the Devron system was from All Good Things … not Time Squared

[@horatioserpico-pn5kv]

Actually, CPT Shaw, when he refers to "Almost wiping out humanity, by creating a time paradox in the DEBRON SYSTEM", is refering to what happened in the TNG series finale "All Good Things".

[@JakeWerkmeister]

Yup. I remember watching that episode over and over again taping a local affiliate broadcast onto VHS. I must have watched that episode a hundred times. Shaw mentioning the time that Picard had 2 Enterprise D's shine a tech thing at the same point at different times, and then having the Pasteur shine its own tech thing at another time, but making it look like a 3rd Enterprise D, jumped out at me. The minor writer's error aside, All Good Things was a better version of Generations than Generations.

[@ElectricSpokes]

For the first time, after growing up with TNG, I’m beyond giddy with excitement and feel engaged in season 3’s story line. The story, characters and depth is Star Trek as I love. Shaw is brilliant, the return of a loved but broken character, bringing her story to a bitter sweet conclusion. Who is Jack, really. Seven of nine, my favorite character but all are amazing… I could list them all… since TNG, I have not been so engaged, felt genuine emotions for the characters and felt the intensity and gravity of their situation like I do now. Star Trek has just been ok since TNG… including season 1 and 2 of Picard, now in season 3 of Picard, Star Trek is back and I’m just beyond thrilled. Thank you to those who brought this story to fruition.

Still enjoying Picard 3. Terry Matalas and his team deserve a standing ovation. Btw I'm glad that storyline A and B are finally one.

With so many easter eggs, The only thing I think about what's wrong with Jack must be something to do with Locutus. As it's already been mentioned once by Shaw. Maybe something in Picard's DNA transferred over to Jack. And the now nano tech has evolved into something else. Might explain why everyone wants him so badly. Since the Changlings have evolved also. And Jack can even see the Changlings which makes him security risk.

[@jeremiah5342]

Season 3 of Picard feels like the sequel to both TNG and DS9; they are bringing characters back and wrapping up threads that I never thought would be addressed. At first I thought it was lame when Ro showed up, there was no way she could have got back into Starfleet; but her scenes with Picard were written so well, and she died a hero and got a true redemptive sendoff. When I watch the episodes Captain Shaw feels like what little I've seen of Nu Star Trek while Picard and Riker are the dignified, professional adults from the Rodenberry/Berman Trek. It's a nice contrast. My hope for season 3 of Picard is that Quark will show up at some point.

I can actually understand Captain Shaw’s perspective. To us we’re laughing because from our perspective Riker is pulling a Kirk and stealing his old ship from dry docks. From his the man who is responsible for his deepest trauma stealing his ship, putting his crew in danger, and potentially putting him back in the situation he was in ‘last time he met Picard’.

[@michaelgarrity6090]

I am so loving this final season of Picard. It just gets better and better with each passing episode. As a Trek fan for all 50 plus years of the series, this season is among the best Trek there has ever been. It was an emotional episode to be sure. It was a good day to die for Ro Larren. She died an epic, Star Trek hero's death. Sacrifice of one's self for the good of the many. Unlike the first two seasons of Picard that only had fleeting moments of things that I liked, getting through both seasons was kind of a slog and I was glad that those seasons were over. With the ending of this season, I think I will be sad to see it go but satisfied that what transpired was great and truly enjoyable Star Trek.

The cool thing about Matalas is, I think (and don't quote me on this) he may have actually seen an episode or two of Star Trek in his youth. I know I know.. it seems crazy after what has been tossed to us for the last the last 5 years, but I just can't shake this feeling that he kind of actually likes it? These first episodes of Season 3, one could be forgiven for thinking they are watching real Star Trek.

Great video! I have to ask, what is in store for the world of Star Trek after this last season of "Picard"? It would be wonderful if a new generation takes the helm. And, this season of Picard is outright wonderful and delightful to watch.

Great season so far. Maybe the best Star Trek episode in decades.

I dont think she is dead, SHE COULD had beamed back on the Titan the last moment by disabling the inhibitor , butttttt who knows lol We could had made to believe she is dead because of the suicide mission and the stakes surrounding hitting the shuttle on the nacele.

The original series had Apollo, the current ship is called the Titan, perhaps we will see Prometheus, perhaps Flint from TOS was Prometheus.

The Devron system was a reference to All Good Things, not Time Squared 😂
