Star Trek: Picard Just Made Jean-Luc's Season 3 Death Less Likely
Will Jean-Luc die in Star Trek: Picard's final episode? An angle in season 2's «Two of One» suggests not. Set 20 years after a seemingly-final appearance in Star Trek: Nemesis, Paramount+'s Star Trek: Picard takes Patrick Stewart's legendary hero out of retirement and back into the cut and thrust of Gene Roddenberry's universe. In season 1, he saved the galaxy from a Romulan conspiracy and a mysterious synthetic invasion. In season 2, he's averting a dystopian timeline created by Q. Wherever Picard goes, trouble occurs. Fortunately, there's no one you'd rather have around when it does.

Star Trek: Picard season 3 will very likely mark Patrick Stewart's franchise farewell, and audiences shall be eagerly wondering whether his journey ends in an epic and emotional death scene, or an uplifting ride into the sunset.
