10 Modern Star Trek Plots That Are The Same

Star Trek: Lower Decks' third season concludes with the revolt of the Texas-class ships, fully automated, attacking starships and starbases alike. There is in fact a fairly harrowing scene depicting the starbase taking an absolute pasting from these vessels - with several people very clearly killed as a result.

This sequence is very similar to the assault on Spacedock, depicted in Star Trek: Picard's final two episodes, Vox, and The Last Generation. This again is a harrowing sequence, depicting a fully automated Starfleet armada training all of their weapons against this most recognizable of landmarks. This series does go that one step further - Spacedock falls to the barrage.

While the Texas-class ships do considerable damage to their spacedock, Picard manages to depict a station that's fighting back. Though the end result is negative, it is a significant difference in between these two stories, despite the premise being almost identical.

At least one similarity between the episodes ends up saving a lot of lives. There are only three Texas-class ships to contend with, and though the armada in Picard is called 'the entire fleet' a number of times, it clearly is only a portion of what Starfleet has to offer. If either show had shown Starfleet's full potential, it's entirely possible the only thing appearing post-2401 would be floating debris in space.
