Star Trek: Picard Season 2 Images Show Brent Spiner's New Character
The first images from Star Trek: Picard season 2 episode 5 show the return of series favorite Brent Spiner as a new character. Patrick Stewart stars as the titular character, a former captain of the USS Enterprise from the critically-acclaimed series Star Trek: The Next Generation. The current season of Picard has treated fans to cameos of classic characters from the older series, such as Whoopi Goldberg as the El-Aurian bartender Guinan and John de Lancie as the extra-dimensional trickster Q. The newly released images tease the return of another familiar face.
Season 2 of Picard started with a bang when the retired admiral was called to the USS Stargazer to investigate a deep space anomaly created by the Borg Queen. Joined by his ragtag crew from Season 1, Picard was inadvertently sent to an alternate timeline by Q where a tyrannical Confederation of humans runs the universe. Assisted by the captured Borg Queen, the team was sent back in time to the year 2024 to find a being called «The Watcher» to correct the timeline. Now stranded in the 21st century, with the world on the verge of collapse, the group finds themselves split apart and racing against time to save the future.
