Episode 187: Michael Chabon Breaks Down the Picard Season Finale’s Big Twists

Star Trek: Picard's first season finale ended with one hell of a twist -- a couple of them, actually -- calling back to things in two other Patrick Stewart movies: X3 and Star Trek: Nemesis!

We’re not sure if that's a good thing or what, but we unpack the episode with help from our good pal from TrekCore.com, Ken Reilly.

And then Picard showrunner Michael Chabon himself beams in to discuss the finale and the season overall for a post-mort interview! And we also have some Altan Soong-centric Reader Mail this week, and another Red Shirt -- one of our highest ranking ever.

So replicate a cup of decaf Earl Grey, curl up with Spot 2 and listen to the new TR3 now!

With Phil still away on Risa, special guest host Matt Fowler -- yes, THE Matt Fowler -- takes Phil’s left-of-center seat for the week, bringing his casual, normal person’s amount of Star Trek knowledge to Transporter Room 3!

We dig into this week’s episode of Picard, hit the Reader Mailbag for a potential Star Trek: First Contact connection to the show, ponder the eternal struggle between the Borg and the Smiths, and, of course, pay tribute to our Red Shirt(s) of the Week. There are a lot of them this week.

So plug in your Borg Queen spinal tubes, shout “Locutus” to the first person you see walking past you, and listen to the latest episode of TR3!

This week, we review "Absolute Candor" with nothing less than what the episode's title promises. More Reader Mailbag is in store as well, as we try to figure out why Synths are bad but EMHs are good. And, obviously, another Red Shirt beams down. (Don't lose your heads over it -- pun extremely intended).

So put down your paper books, turn on your Emergency Hospitality Hologram, and listen now to Transporter Room 3's newest ep.
