Star Trek: Picard - Everything We Know About Season 3

3. Who’s In The Chair?

With all the goings on around the return of TNG's main cast, the final season, a new villain and the rest, one thing slipped past and then suddenly dropped right in the middle of December.

Now, fans know that Seven of Nine is the first officer of the Titan-A but it's not been revealed who is in the centre seat. In an interview with TrekMovie, showrunner Terry Matalas dropped in that the captain of NCC-80102-A would be a brand new character played by an actor that he was very fond of. This character would also have a major role to play in the upcoming season.

One fan suggested that Matalas should get Todd Stashwick to play the captain. Matalas' reply indicated that "would be a good idea" complete with smirking emoji. Not giving any potential hints there then Terry!

Read into that what you will but Stashwick has worked with Matalas previously on 12 Monkeys and even appeared in Enterprise's fourth season as Romulan agent Talok in Kir'Shara.

A Star Trek fan from birth, I love to dive into every aspect of the franchise in front and behind the screen. There's something here that's kept me interested for the best part of four decades! Now I'm getting back into writing and using Star Trek as my first line of literary attack. If I'm not here on WhatCulture then you're more than welcome to come and take a look at my blog, Some Kind of Star Trek at http://SKoST.co.uk or maybe follow me on Twitter as @TheWarpCore. Sometimes I force myself not to talk about Star Trek.
