One advantage Star Trek: Picard Season 3 had before an episode aired was the foreknowledge it was, effectively, a reunion of The Next Generation cast. Fans desperately wanted to see Worf, Geordi La Forge and Beverly Crusher again. However, Star Trek's best couple, Will Riker and Deanna Troi, were part of Picard from the beginning. Their character journeys are as profound as any in the show. Literary legend Michael Chabon took the creative lead on Picard Season 1, taking the story and characters in provocative directions.
