Episode 132: Make It So! Star Trek Picard Series Finale Wrap-Up!

Friday Apr 28, 2023

We’ve had a little bit to digest the series finale of Star Trek Picard, and to say the least, we have thoughts. Did they manage to land the plane when it came to all the nefarious ne-r do wells they had lined up? Did more characters get thrown over the side when the writers had no idea what to do with them? Did Worf wind up killing a guy with a trident? We go over all the happenings and feels from a final goodbye to our generation’s Star Trek!

Also, we talk about Timothy Zahn working on some new Thrawn books, Fantastic Four casting news, and Katee Sackhoff in the DCEU?!
