This year, Star Trek fans witness the return of Sir Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: Picard. This comes 18 years after Stewart hung up in Starfleet uniform in Star Trek: Nemesis. Now, after 10 weeks and 10 episodes, the first season of Star Trek: Picard has come to an end. The finale episode, “Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2,” granted Picard a new lease on life, bid farewell to a fan-favorite character (for good this time), saw another fan-favorite character return to active duty, hinted a romance in the show’s second season, and had plenty of other exciting moments that reshape the Star Trek universe for the future.

In the season finale, a final confrontation on the synthetics’ homeworld, Coppelius, pits Picard and his team against the Romulans, as well as the synths who seek to safeguard their existence at all costs. The episode is written by Michael Chabon, based on a story by Chabon and Akiva Goldsman. Goldsman directed the episode.
The episode brings this season of Star Trek: Picard to a close, but it isn’t the end of the series. CBS All Access already renewed the show for its second season.
