10 Star Trek Movies And TV Episodes That Enhance Picard Season 2

10. Future's End

The crew of the USS Voyager were almost comically unlucky. The third season saw the crew get back to Earth, the only problem was that they'd arrived in 1996! It's the result of a clash with a time ship that believes Voyager to be the cause of a devastating explosion that wiped out the solar system in the 29th century.

As Braxton, the time ship's captain and the Voyager crew are sent back through time, it quickly becomes apparent that it's Captain Braxton's ship rather than Voyager that causes the explosion. It's all thanks to a nefarious businessman who's got his hands on 29th century technology and has used it to become incredibly rich.

It's worth rewatching in light of Picard season 2 because it's another stab at replicating the formula of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. There's less of an environmental message to this one, but it's definitely a story about the dangers of capitalist greed. Star Trek loves to juxtapose these futuristic idealists with our primitive contemporary times, and while Future's End is more overtly comic than Picard, it acts as an enjoyable companion piece. Especially that cliffhanger that sees Voyager on the news!
