'Picard’ Season 3 Showrunner Terry Matalas Breaks Down Episode 5, That Worf Scene, and 'The Next Generation' Connection

.TerryMatalas joined us to break down StarTrekPicard Episode 5, the TheNextGeneration connection, and THAT Worf scene.

The fifth episode of Star Trek: Picard's third and final season delivers a healthy dose of thrills, both aboard the U.S.S. Titan with the increasing stakes that Jean-Luc Picard is encountering with the Changeling plot and with Raffi and Worf as they try to unravel the very same plot in District Six.

I was so excited to talk to Ed about getting to wear a Starfleet uniform because, as a Trekkie, that's my own dream. So I was very eager to talk to him about it. Was there a lot of joy in getting to put Picard's son into a Starfleet uniform? I was also really surprised and really excited to see Ro Laren brought back into the show. She's such a fun character from The Next Generation. I can't really think of any other characters for Picard that would have this same sort of emotional weight.

MATALAS: Yeah, but that would mean that you had a Star Trek: The Next Generation reunion without Worf ever seeing anybody. Well, look Star Wars did it.MATALAS: I'm glad that worked. I just never thought in a million years anyone would play. MATALAS: No, Romulan felt obvious. Vulcan to me, felt really interesting to me that there was a logic to crime, which he says, that there can be no paradise without crime. So once we had found that, that character came together. And once we thought about it as Kirk Acevedo, who I had worked with before, once we wrote it for Kirk, there was a danger to him that he could let some anger through. There was something really interesting about a Vulcan crime syndicate.
