Star Trek: Picard's proposed continuation series, Star Trek: Legacy, will spotlight the offspring of Star Trek: The Next Generation's icons, but TNG's 'kids' shouldn't all get along. Star Trek: Picard season 3 passed the torch from the legends of the USS Enterprise-D to the younger heroes who will explore the galaxy aboard the USS Enterprise-G led by Captain Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan). Ensign Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers), the son of Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden), and Lt. Sidney La Forge (Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut), the daughter of Commodore Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton), are proudly carrying on their parents' Star Trek legacy.
Star Trek: Picard season 3 was different from Star Trek: The Next Generation as it featured far more conflict among the TNG crew than the TV series allowed. Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry's utopian vision of 24th century Starfleet mandated a 'no conflict' rule on TNG so that the people aboard the Enterprise-D always got along and conflict would instead arise from the aliens they encountered. TNG did have occasional personality flareups, but things always reverted to harmony on the Enterprise. Picard season 3 tested TNG's loyalties such as Admiral Picard butting heads with Captain Will Riker (Jonathan Frakes), but in the end, the Enterprise-D's legends were united in their love for each other and their extended family. However, their amity shouldn't necessarily apply to their offspring.
