14: The Search for Maddox - a podcast by Trek.fm

The End Is the Beginning.

Starfleet officers have been an essential part of every incarnation of Star Trek—until Star Trek: Picard. Instead of captains, commanders, lieutenants, and ensigns, Picard brings us ex-Starfleet officers, Romulans, and androids to construct a narrative more focused on life outside Starfleet.

In this episode of The Line, hosts Brandon-Shea Mutala, Justin Oser, and Chrissie De Clerck-Szilagyi discuss the third episode of Star Trek: Picard, “The End Is the Beginning.” We explore the complex interaction between Picard and his former first officer, Raffi Musiker, as well as the latest developments on the Artifact, the mysterious Romulan-controlled Borg cube. We also talk about the return of Hugh, the introduction of charming rogue Cristóbal Rios, and Picard’s crew of former Starfleet officers who come together on Rios’s ship. We also share our predictions for upcoming episodes.
