Warning: SPOILERS for Star Trek: Picard Season 3, Episode 6 – "The Bounty"A long-awaited return happens in Star Trek: Picard season 3 as Daniel Davis reprises his role as Professor James Moriarty. Davis played the holographic adversary created to be smarter than Data (Brent Spiner) in two classic Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes.
The Moriarty in Star Trek: Picard season 3 is a different variation of the holographic villain in TNG. Moriarty encounters Captain Will Riker (Jonathan Frakes), Captain Worf (Michael Dorn), and Commander Raffi Musiker (Michelle Hurd) when they infiltrate Daystom Station to uncover its secrets. And this new version of Moriarty has a secret of his own.
