Neither Picard nor any of the old Enterprise crew have heard from Dr. Beverly Crusher in 20 years. But now he&#8217;s gotten an encoded message from her asking for his help &#8212; and she says not to involve Starfleet. Picard knows the first person he must contact is William T. Riker.<\/p>\n<p>This is the final season.<\/p>\n<p>It is, as the writers designed, a glorious sendoff for the <strong>Next Generation<\/strong> characters. A spinoff could easily be done, and it&#8217;s been set up perfectly in the finale.<\/p>\n<p>There is a bit of oddness here and there, like in the dialogue between Picard and Ro. A couple of characters appear that really shouldn&#8217;t &#8212; just because a character is great doesn&#8217;t mean you should bring them back from the dead. But overall, the story is magnificent and the finale is joyous.<\/p>\n<p>The storyline is better than tlast season, and there are many beautiful moments between characters you love.<\/p>\n<p>The music of Jerry Goldsmith is incorporated, by Stephen Barton, in a way that is stunningly beautiful. James Horner&#8217;s music is strongly suggested in the theme for the end credits. Barton has some beautiful music of his own in episode 4 when the space babies are born.<\/p>\n<p>Guest stars include Michelle Forbes, Tim Russ, <span class=\"wHYlTd z8gr9e\">Daniel Davis<\/span>, Elizabeth Dennehy, <span class=\"wHYlTd z8gr9e\">Alice Krige<\/span>, Orla Brady, and the voices of Walter Koenig and Majel Barrett.<\/p>\n<p>Stars Gates McFadden, Michael Dorn, LeVar Burton, Amanda Plummer, Todd Stashwick, and <span class=\"yKMVIe\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"1\">Ed Speleers<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>I previously reviewed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidmswitzer.com\/blog\/2022\/05\/star-trek-picard-season-2\/\">season 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{5\/5} &#8220;You\u2019re only ever really as good as those around you.
