This post contains spoilers for episode 6, season 3 of "Star Trek: Picard."
On the sixth episode of the third season of "Star Trek: Picard" -- called "The Bounty" -- Worf (Michael Dorn), Raffi (Michelle Hurd), and Capt. Riker (Jonathan Frakes) break into a space-bound, top-secret Federation storage warehouse called Daystrom station. On board, the characters find a lot of shadowy corridors lined with lockers containing strange "Star Trek"-related artifacts. In one locker, Worf discovers a living tribble, only this one is equipped with fangs and a sucker mouth. In another, Raffi finds the remains of Capt. Kirk, presumably retrieved from under a pile of rocks on Veridian III. The references rest on the border of cute and insufferable, and the episode as a whole leans far too hard into nostalgic temptation.
Case in point: Daystrom station is equipped with an artificially intelligent security system that recognizes Riker and Worf and...

To describe William Shatner, who turns 92 later this month, as “full of life” would be a gross understatement. When Deadline spoke with him about the documentary You Can Call Me Bill, which is making its world premiere at SXSW, he was about to go horseback riding. At a time when many people his age, those fortunate few to reach their 90s, are getting about with walkers or wheelchairs, he’s hoofing it.
“After this interview I’m gonna get on a horse,” he told us, with some astonishment. “I’m not going to get in a wheelchair. I’m gonna go on a reining horse and practice.”
William Shatner speaks onstage at 2022 Los Angeles Comic Con on December 4, 2022 in Los Angeles, California.
He said he can’t quite believe the term “91-year-old” applies to him. “Every time I hear that figure I think, ‘That’s right. That’s me. My God,...

One of the greatest strengths of "Star Trek," and perhaps the primary reason for its longevity, is the show's versatility. While Trek, overall, operates in a technological utopia driven by notions of pacifism, diplomacy, and scientific curiosity, any single given episode can operate in a different genre.
Some episodes deal with heady sci-fi concepts, as when Capt. Picard (Patrick Stewart) has to argue in a court of law whether or not the android Data (Brent Spiner) is actually sentient. Other episodes are political thrillers, as when Maj. Kira (Nana Visitor) expresses frustration that her home planet of Bajor is slipping into a corrupt theocracy. Some episodes are outwardly comedic, as when Capt. Kirk (William Shatner) has to wrangle a bunch of hungry tribbles. There are even horror episodes. Nothing is more terrifying than the scene in the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode "Night Terrors" where Dr. Crusher (Gates McFadden...
