Today is a special day for Star Trek: The Next Generation fans. It’s Captain Picard Day, a day celebrating the captain of the USS Enterprise in the 24th century. The schoolchildren aboard the USS Enterprise-D celebrate Captain Picard Day once a year, much to Jean-Luc Picard’s embarrassment, as seen in The Next Generation episode “The Pegasus.” Reverse engineering from Stardate 47457.1, the stardate noted in “The Pegasus,” Star Trek fans determined that June 16th is the appropriate date to celebrate Captain Picard Day in the current era. Fans can celebrate by watching their favorite Picard-centric Star Trek episodes — “The Pegasus,” “Chain of Command,” “Darmok,” and “Inner Light” are all solid choices — or the first season of Star Trek: Picard on CBS All Access.

Reunification
Today I’m watching the fantastic 2 parter Unification from TNG Season 5 to celebrate #CaptainPicardDay. Picard has to go to Romulas to search for Spock. Great to see the iconic Leonard Nimoy play Spock in these episodes. 🖖🏽 #StarTrekTNG #StarTrek pic.twitter.com/gN3hbSfDoI
