NCE AGAIN – THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE – DO NOT READ THIS FEATURE IF YOU WANT TO AVOID SPOILERS FOR THE END OF SEASON THREE OF STAR TREK: PICARD.
Still here? Then let’s… engage. Just how long has showrunner Terry Matalas had this epic storyline in his head? “A while,” he considers, “but I never thought anyone would ever let me write it. It was just always this idea percolating in the back of my head that if Picard ever had a kid, he would have passed on this Locutus gene. At best I thought it might be a comic book I could write someday.”
Yes, it was the Borg all along. “We’ve been hiding it in plain sight,” Matalas says. “The very first dialogue in the entire season is a log entry from ‘The Best Of Both Worlds’ by Picard, talking about the Borg, that young Jack Crusher was listening to, his father’s logs. We’ve kept the story of the Borg and Locutus alive in the narrative for this very reason.”
How does Matalas feel about the fan campaign to make Star Trek: Legacy – his idea for a show that would continue the exploits of the former Titan crew – a reality?
“I mean, I love it. And this would be it,” he says of the final setup. “Shaw does not make it out alive. However, we do have plans for a Shaw character – specifically Todd Stashwick – to be a part of Legacy that I can’t talk about, but we always knew we would never do that show without Todd. So we had plans in place for that, should it ever happen. But there’s nothing in development, unfortunately.”
We asked Matalas what each episode of the season meant to him…
