Warning: SPOILERS for Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Finale – "The Last Generation"
Star Trek: Picard showrunner Terry Matalas reveals the huge Star Trek character cameos that were cut from season 3's finale. "The Last Generation," Star Trek: Picard's series finale, wrapped up the stories of Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and the crew of Star Trek: The Next Generation in grand style as they saved the galaxy one more time. Picard's finale also included appearances by the Borg Queen (Alice Krige), Captain Tuvok (Tim Russ) and Q (John de Lancie), who shockingly popped up in the Picard finale end-credits scene.
Screen Rant joined a roundtable interview with Terry Matalas, who detailed his far more ambitious plans for Star Trek: Picard's series finale, which he wrote and directed. Matalas explains that more huge Star Trek characters were intended to appear but had to be cut. Read his quote below:
Terry Matalas: There were characters I really wanted to see again. In the original finale script, it was a giant movie that we were building on a television time schedule… But there was a scene with Soji and Data that we could not afford to do and bring back another actor. There is a scene in which they found Ro Laren in the dungeons of the Intrepid with Tuvok and that she had survived we weren't able to pull off. Harry Kim had appeared at one point. We wanted Kate Mulgrew to be part of Seven of Nine's promotion.
