In a roundtable interview, StarTrekPicard showrunner TerryMatalas discusses the season 3 finale, the status of StarTrekLegacy, and what was cut from Picard's ending:
Warning: MAJOR SPOILERS for Star Trek: Picard Season 3's Finale - "The Last Generation"Written and directed by showrunner Terry Matalas, Star Trek: Picard season 3's finale, "The Last Generation," delivers the thrilling, emotional, and powerful sendoff the Jean-Luc Picard and the legendary cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation always deserved.
Terry Matalas Talks Star Trek: Picard Season 3's Finale For this series, one of my complaints about Star Trek is the characters aren't used right. So what came first? Was it the actual structure of a whole season? Or how to use each of the characters to fit their skillset? Having said that, gosh, I would love to do more. I would love to see Seven and Raffi and Jack and Sidney and the crew continue on. And I'd love to see more of Riker and Geordi and Worf and Beverly and the rest of the TNG gang continue on in the 25th century. So we'll see. I think it'll be up to the fans to be loud if that's a thing that they would like to see. But there's a lot of Star Trek out there right now. Great Star Trek. Strange New Worlds. Starfleet Academy is coming.
Terry Matalas: I didn't. Cindy Appel did. And it was tough. We sat in the room, and we thought, "Guys, we're never going to be 'All Good Things...'" But let's try. What's a great line? And Cindy got the closest with that line. "The stars have always been in my favor" is probably the closest for a line that we could get. I knew I was going to end in that shot and stay in that shot for the credits. And so it needed to be something.
As far as the season goes, that's such a good question. I have to sit back and meditate on that for quite a bit. Because it does ask a lot of questions about family, Picard, and it makes me think about things like I am glad that Jack never took the name Picard at the end, that he keeps his mother's name. And I think that that's super important.
As far as other things that I wish we could have done better, I think I would say, looking at some of the criticisms across the board, I would say it's a decisively unromantic season. There was no real room for romance, whether that is Picard and Crusher, Seven and Raffi, Jack and Sidney had a moment of flirtation. Even Riker and Troi mostly deals with the tragedy of a couple losing a child. I wish I had fought for more time for a few extra scenes with those characters.
