'Star Trek: Picard' showrunner Michael Chabon and executive producer Akiva Goldsman reveal secrets from the six minutes that will shake the larger universe
Showrunner Michael Chabon and executive producer Akiva Goldsman reveal secrets from the six minutes that will shake the larger universe: "We probably talked about 25 different ways to end it.""It was fairly early on in the process."about his and his fellow creatives' decision to conclude the series' freshman season with Picard on a mission that leads to his sacrifice and resurrection in "Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2.
"It was the plan from early on, but in the beginning, you start out — it's sort of like a tree, but you're going backwards down the tree," Chabon explains. "As you make choices, you end up with fewer and fewer ones, and each choice leads to a fewer range of fewer possibilities. At some point, we probably talked about 25 different ways to end it. And then we were down to like eight different ways, and then six different ways. And then, landing on this way.
"In the conception of those [orchid ships], we tried to set up the kind of lives the androids of Coppelius Station would be living, and the things they would be doing. We set them up early on with the character of Soji . There were references to orchids [in early episodes] with her character, and setting up that her father was a botanist working with orchids," Chabon says.
Before they could shoot the scene, Goldsman and his crew had to address some challenging production logistics concerning the filming of other scenes leading up to the episode's emotional turning point. "[Picard's] death, the moment where he says goodbye to Data, those are the moments where I sort of went ‘Oh, wow. If I step back, I'm feeling my own emotion just in time to not forget to say cut,'" Goldsman recalls.
