‘Star Trek: Picard’ Season 3 Showrunner on That Picard/Crusher Moment in Episode 7

StarTrekPicard Season 3 showrunner TerryMatalas breaks down that emotional Picard/Crusher scene in Episode 7 and their pivotal decision.

Editor's Note: This article contains spoilers for Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Episode 7, "Dominion."Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Episode 7 sees some of the franchise's greatest heroes brought to a breaking point.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT When it becomes clear that Vadic has no intention of stopping until she's delivered Jack to whoever she's working for, Picard and Crusher are forced to question if they're ready to take a life in the name of their child—and the answer is yes, they are.

Matalas acknowledged that not every The Next Generation fan is going to be happy with this moment, saying: "That is really scary because you know right away doing this scene that there's a large portion of fans that are immediately saying this is a character betrayal from the get-go." But as he explains, Picard Season 3 is telling a different kind of story than the ones we would see on TNG.

"You have to ask yourself: in that moment, what would these characters really do? Would this be a question they would really ask? So in the writers' room, you have an actual debate, and when you have a unanimous agreement from everyone in the room who would have every perspective on it, that it's probably a good idea at this point to stop this, then maybe Picard and Beverly would feel the same as parents at this moment. But goddamn is it dark.

New episodes of Star Trek: Picard are available every Thursday on Paramount+. Be sure to check out our full conversation with Matalas when it's live, and in the meantime, you can watch our recent interview with Speleers down below.
