!['Picard’ Season 3 Showrunner Terry Matalas Breaks Down Episode 3 and Picard/Beverly's Relationship [Exclusive]](https://i.headtopics.com/images/2023/3/4/collider/picard-season-3-showrunner-terry-matalas-breaks-do-picard-season-3-showrunner-terry-matalas-breaks-do-1631770141624094720.webp)
In an exclusive conversation, we spoke w/ TerryMatalas about Episode 3 of StarTrekPicard Season 3, the shifting dynamic between Picard and Riker, and the care that went into fleshing out Beverly's relationship with Picard.
The third episode of Star Trek: Picard Season 3, entitled "Seventeen Seconds," ramps up the stakes as the crew of the U.S.S. Titan is pursued deeper and deeper into the dangerous nebula, and with those heightened stakes emotions are running high too. On the heels of the revelation that Beverly Crusher and Jean-Luc Picard had a son, Picard finds himself in an emotionally volatile state as he is forced to reckon with the reality of Jack's existence.
It works very well. I love flashbacks that are used smartly and these are done just so well to carry those themes forward. I also really love, at the top of the episode, that we have Seven listening to, essentially, broody music while she's stuck in her quarters. And I love music in general. I just love the way that it showcases who characters are.
MATALAS: Yeah, Kal-toh is somewhere, the Kal-toh card game is somewhere, the Voyager, [there are] a couple of other things, but unfortunately the camera doesn't linger on any of them. There's no Chakotay body pillow. Did you feel a certain degree of pressure to fill in those blanks while working out that timeline between the last time we saw them and the creation of Jack?
MATALAS: It gets brought up, and then it starts to go away the more you spend time. That question now has faded. As Episode 3 is aired, people start just like, “All right, I'm just gonna go with it.” MATALAS: He's angry, he's angry, and not necessarily tactically wrong. So the way we looked at it in the writer's room was, both men would have a tactical perspective and each one of those perspectives would be amplified with how they were feeling. For Riker, he would want to get the ship home and protect it, but he was amped up by his feelings of loss for his son, and watching Picard reject his son would make him feel overprotective.
We also knew it was risky. That there would be a contingent of fans that wouldn't feel as though these characters would ever do that. And as fans writing it, we feel that responsibility, as well as to make it as authentic as possible. And in the next episode, they're going to have a long conversation about it, about why both men are feeling what they're feeling, and certainly, there's a resolution that I think is satisfying for both of them.
So I've been obsessively rewatching Enterprise because Paramount hooked me up with a sweet subscription to Paramount+. So I went straight to Enterprise because I love that when I was younger. It cracked me up because there's the connection of M’talas Prime. How did you get a planet?
