THE SECOND VOYAGE OF SEVEN • If you’d asked Jeri Ryan three years ago whether she’d ever return as Seven of Nine in a Star Trek show, chances are the former Star Trek: Voyager actress would have replied along the lines of, “Never say never.” In fact, those were her exact words when Star Trek Explorer asked her that very question in 2019… shortly before she revealed to the world that she would indeed be reprising her role in Star Trek: Picard! Now, three years on, she’s back for Picard Season 2 – and Ryan couldn’t be happier about Seven’s new voyage.

JEAN-LUC PICARD • Since making his debut in 1987 as captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise-D in Star Trek: The Next Generation’s pilot, “Encounter at Farpoint, ” Jean-Luc Picard has become a global icon, thanks in no small part to his portrayal by Sir Patrick Stewart. In preparation for the second season of Star Trek: Picard, these are the essential Picard facts.

Who Is Star Trek’s Greatest Guest Star? • A memorable guest star can embody an exciting new character, keep series regulars on their toes, or alter the course of a story arc. Star Trek’s many guest stars have done all these and more, but which of them is the greatest guest of all? We posed that question to our Q Continuum of Trek’s great and good, from regular and recurring actors to writers and directors (among them the late Dave Galanter, who passed away at the end of 2020), hailing from the length and breadth of the franchise’s 55-plus years. Here are their thoughts.

MAKING TREKS • Akiva Goldsman has been intimately involved with Star Trek since the franchise returned in series form in 2017, serving variously as producer, writer, and director as each show has materialized. With Star Trek: Picard, however, he got the chance to build a Trek show from the ground up – and with the impending Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, he’s realizing a long-held dream to boot.

Drama Queen • When the first full trailer for Season 2 of Star Trek: Picard was unveiled on Star Trek Day in September of last year, there was a surprise in store: not only would Q be featuring in the season, as had already been revealed, but the Borg Queen would be returning too, in the shape of Annie Wersching. The third actress to take on the role, following Alice Krige and Susanna Thompson, Wersching is aware that she has big cyber-boots to fill – though it helps that she’s no stranger to Star Trek...
