Warning: SPOILERS for Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Finale – "The Last Generation"Star Trek: Picard season 3's finale featured one of Counselor Deanna Troi's (Marina Sirtis) finest moments that redeemed the crash of the USS Enterprise-D in Star Trek Generations. Troi joined her husband, Captain Will Riker (Jonathan Frakes), and the rest of the Star Trek: The Next Generation crew in saving the galaxy from the Borg one last time. Every TNG iconic character got a moment to shine in Picard season 3, and Troi's most heroic act redeemed how she was unfortunately at the helm when the Enterprise crash-landed on Veridian III.
The USS Enterprise-D was destroyed in Star Trek Generations thanks to the machinations of the Klingon Duras sisters, who used Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge's VISOR as a means for their torpedoes to bypass the Galaxy Class starship's shields. The Enterprise destroyed the Klingons but Commander William Riker ordered a saucer separation when the warp core was breached. Unfortunately, the saucer couldn't escape far enough from the stardrive's explosion. Riker ordered Counselor Troi to take the Enterprise's helm, but there was little Deanna could do to prevent the saucer from crash-landing.
