Ep 212: The Ultimate Stranger (Picard S3E4)

Episode 212

10th March 2023

When Riker concedes to the inevitability of the Titan being crushed by the gravity well of a nebula, he suggests that Picard use his final hours to fire up the holodeck and get to know the son that didn’t want to know him. But when Dr. Crusher recognizes contraction patterns in the light bangers they’ve been experiencing, the crew will have to hold their breath as they’re birthed out of a space womb.

Episode notes

When Riker concedes to the inevitability of the Titan being crushed by the gravity well of a nebula, he suggests that Picard use his final hours to fire up the holodeck and get to know the son that didn’t want to know him. But when Dr. Crusher recognizes contraction patterns in the light bangers they’ve been experiencing, the crew will have to hold their breath as they’re birthed out of a space womb. Did Shaw put Riker in charge to avoid going down with the ship? Who gets dibs on the last wishes machine? Will anybody offer Beverly a seat? It’s the episode that leaves a super awkward voicemail message.

About the show

The unofficial, irreverent and filthy aftershow for all the new Star Trek television: Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks, Short Treks, Prodigy, Strange New Worlds, and anything else they throw at us. Each Friday after a new episode of Star Trek, Adam and Ben recap, review and roast all the New Trek. Check out our other show, The Greatest Generation, a Star Trek podcast by a couple of guys who are a little bit embarrassed to have a Star Trek podcast!
