I sit down with showrunner Terry Matalas to talk about the genesis of the season, the evolution of the TNG characters, what you didn't see on-screen, the return of the Enterprise, and the possible frontiers ahead.

For me the most impressive thing about Terry Matalas in this interview is how little credit he gives himself and how much credit he gives to those he worked with, naming them specifically. That's real leadership and likely one of the reasons he's so successful.
Totally agree
I like how Matalas gives credit to individual team members (i.e. writer Cindy Apell for Ro Karen) for realizing S3. Also his frank talks about the pressure and all the corporate levels of bureaucracy for approvals. What an incredibly difficult job he had!
Ro Karen 🤣
.... Ro Karen deserves an award.
you know what i like about you Dan? you let the guy talk. most interviewers cant let the subject talk for more the five seconds without blah blah blahing over them. well done mate, and you too Matalas, that was some good tv
This. 100% he asks a well crafted question then let’s the man talk and elaborate. Perfect example of how an interview should be done.
This meant a lot, Dan, especially to us lifelong Trekkies. You always ask such thoughtful questions and give your guests the respect and space to not just reply, but also ruminate. We appreciate you. ❤
I LOVED this season of television. I gave up after season one, but heard three was amazing. I was not disappointed. Excellent job Terry.
Picard series 3 was a perfect way to do a legacy series. It treated all the characters with respect and the story was so good :)
Lol no
I was tears all the way through the last 2 episodes. So awesome!!!! Thank the gods for putting someone in charge that LOVES Star Trek!!!
Thank you Terry Matalas for this great season. For the story, great music, reunion, Enterprise D everything. You made me care again.
Awesome! Not only do we get to hear Dan's thoughts but also Terry's insight on arguably the best (and IMHO only) season of Picard.
Can't wait to hear!
"Best season of Picard" is the lowest of bars
@@Reggie1408 Fair statement. I was on the fence on whether to watch S3 given the train wreck of S2, and even the S3 writers were actively ignoring the first 2 seasons.
I'd go far enough to say that it's one of the best seasons of Trek ever. If not the best.
@@MagickP00dle "I wouldn't go that far" Jean-Luc Picard
@@MagickP00dle It was a nice sendoff, but can't compare to the best seasons of TNG.
Wow, I just finished watching the third season of Star Trek: Picard, and I am absolutely blown away! 🤯 The storytelling, character development, and visual effects have reached new heights this season, truly a testament to Terry's remarkable vision and dedication to the Star Trek universe. The way the season unfolded was nothing short of a masterpiece. 🚀
And Dan, massive congratulations on getting Terry on your CZcams channel! 🎉 It's incredible to have the creative genius behind Star Trek: Picard join you for a discussion. Your hard work and passion for the franchise are evident in your content, and having Terry on the show is the cherry on top. Can't wait to watch the interview and hear the insights on this amazing season! Keep up the great work, and LLAP! 🖖
Lol
I appreciate that Terry is willing to engage with a lot of influencers who have been pretty critical of a lot of the recent Star Trek offerings.
YES!! I was SO HOPING that you would get to do something like this my fellow TNG loving friend. And I’m also SO glad that this season was this good!
This is like a dream. Dan is one of my fav CZcamsrs and my fav is RedLetterMedia. And they are the sole reason of me getting into TNG. Just as I finished TNG Picard season 3 started and got good buzz so watched and loved it so much. Now to hear Dan's detailed thoughts with Terry himself and also to bring in RLM is just freaking amazing 😂😂❤❤❤❤
This is the only season we needed and hoped for when "Picard" was announced. Aside from a brief "previously on Picard..." to explain Rafi, Seven, and Picard's 'death' it happily stands alone.
Anyone else want to join in on a letter writing campaign to Paramount to get Terry put in charge of Star Trek??? 😅
No
I kinda do.
Liked Picard season 3 but no. He can run one show but that is a lot different than a whole franchise. Besides, Strange New Worlds is still the best new Star Trek plus some of the other shows are still good.
Not yet. I need to see him showrun another season first.
He should show run just another show. Look, DISCOVERY & STRANGE NEW WORLDS have done some good Trek shows (especially Discovery season 2 onward). I'd rather see Terry show run another show set in the same time period (aka STAR TREK; LEGACY).
Man, I have shed so many tears watching this season that it just spread to this interview!! Thank you Terry Matalas and I need to watch 12 Monkeys
Such a humble sincere man. I wish him all the luck
That TNG Honest Trailer is ICONIC! Great Job Dan, only a True trekker could have wrote that.
Season 3 was what ST: Picard should have been from the beginning! It was so satisfying for true fans.
9 episodes of nothing.
One of the biggest changes this time around is the shift in attitude of the production team. They have a knowledge of the source material, clearly respect what came before, and are actually engaging with the fanbase again, which hasn’t happened for the live action productions since before the Abrams films (the teams behind the animated shows have been the same way, Lower Decks had the first writers/producers who seemed like they actually wanted to be there instead of it being just another gig.) They’re going on the CZcams channels, being extremely open about their motivations and thought process, accepting criticism when it comes up, and never come across as having contempt for the audience. The previous Picard and Disco teams aren’t like that, they showed an utter disdain for the fanbase, and were quick to resort to insults of (insert ist/phobe/bigot here) at any reaction short of unqualified praise. Hopefully the franchise studio handlers, or at least whoever sets PR policy, take a lesson from this as a perfect example of how to interact with the audience in a healthy way. The various interviews on CZcams in the lead up to the show felt like something of a “good will tour” trying to win back some of the fanbase, and it’s nice to see that they’re continuing with it now that the series is over.
Just wonderful; this is the debrief I've been waiting for. A conversation that mirrored the authenticity and spirit of the season.
I'm glad you brought up the RLM Riker fan fic joke Dan! Thats the #1 thing I would have brought up in this conversation too LOL
Wow. Absolutely LOVED this series. It was fantastic. Not only the best bit of Star Trek for years, but one of the best series for ages.
And what was great was they stuck the ending which so many other shows have failed to do.
Literally had tears how good it was.
What was also great was it had deep stakes and I felt the full range of emotions, without them having to kill off any characters to achieve. I must admit I feared Picard was going to die. I was very pleased he got the good ending.
loved the shout out to RLM and their glowing review :D
What a gift of an interview after such a jewel of season of Trek. Thanks for making season 3 linger a little longer.
I've watched a bunch of interviews with Terry Matalas the last few weeks and this was definitely one of the best!
Watching this season of Picard filled me with such joy, excitement, and just genuine humanity. Absolute masterful storytelling and some of the best fan satisfaction ever filmed. So excited for you Dan as well to have such a killer interview.
"His taste in vine is pedestrian at best"
And
"Do you even hear yourself?"
This season was hilarious😂
Very cool for Terry to do this interview. Time to pour a fresh cuppa joe and settle in for an hour...
Brilliant interview. It’s just so great to know that people who share our love for Star Trek are involved in the show. Just listening to him speak about him knowing where it goes from here just gives me so much hope. I don’t know if Academy, or Section 31 are going to be good. But Legacy is where this show needs to go.
I’ve never really watched Star Trek, but it’s a joy to see Dan be so excited about something he loves being successful. Cheers, Dan!
I'm a simple man. I see Dan talking about Star Trek, I like the video.
I love how this feels like just two Trek fans gushing about TNG. It's so great!
I just finished season 3.
I cried, laughed, ugly cried then I clutched my pearls all whilst on the edge of my fucking seat for a solid 7 plus hours yesterday.
Thank you, Dan - that was a great interview & congrats for getting Terry for it! I'd already had it mostly spoiled by RLM's reviews, but don't care - I'm going to sit down and savour watching this season of Picard & look forward to what might come in future from Terry M, whatever form it takes.
The best episode was when they break out of the living nebula cloud and witness the babies from the same alien species from "Encounter At Farpoint". Also the "Galaxy Quest" moment of using the environment against the enemy was sweet!
Give Terry the keys to Trek. I haven't felt such joy watching Trek since the 90s.
This was great! I look forward to your review of this season. Also, fingers crossed that we get more trek with Terry, be that series or movies.
Looking forward to watching this. ❤ Thanks Dan!
Thanks so much for doing this interview, Dan! Loved it!!!
How joyful to see the work reflect the passion of people who love and understand the show they’re engaged to make!
What a great interview! Dan you asked such great and interesting questions, you can tell you are a fan but also a writer and critic.
You mentioned it being one of your favorite season of Star Trek. I think it's up there as well for me. Along side seasons 1-2 of TOS, seasons 4-5 of TNG, Season 6 of DS9 and season 4 of Enterprise.
Amazing interview Dan! Loved every minute of this.
Wow, Dan... what a fucking awesome interview. Incredible.
Great interview! Terry Matalas and his team knocked it out of the park with this season. It's truly a love letter to 90's-era Trek
Well done, Dan. Props to Terry and all involved with S3 and I have no doubt that we'll get Legacy in some form in the near future. ^_^
This was great Dan. Absolutely try to do this again.
Thanks, Dan. I've been following you since the old 101 days. Great interview!
"so you have kind of frontier doctors without borders thing, with a weird doesn't-make-sense shotgun-phase rifle thing..."
I friggin' love Terry.
This was such beautiful scene. You can see Nate healing in her presence.
Your statement at the end nailed it- best season of Star Trek, ever. Thanks Dan for this fantastic interview, and thanks to Terry for making the best Star Trek!
What an amazing interview. We need ST:L badly. Oh, and please bring back Liam Shaw. Thanks!
How on earth something that was developed at the same time could be so different one another, S2 and S3 are something so unique, so rare.
S3 was a gift
i sadly had to say to a close family member once 'gene would be ashamed'... i'm happy to say today 'gene would be proud', thanks terry, dan
Thanks to your both for a delightful interview.
Ed's acting was amazing in this. Oh ya thank you for this amazing season.
Outstanding interview Dan! Really enjoyed this. Looking forward to your review of S3.
This man saved modern Star Trek. If he was running things since Picard Season 1, imagine what we could have gotten.
That's awesome Dan. I think I'm going to watch the HT and HTC now
Picard season 3 certainly deserves serious Emmy and awards consideration.
Great review with the showrunner -- wish you also touched on the soundtrack which was the first very obvious "reset" that set this season apart from the first two and made it feel more cinematic from the start. Cues were quoted from just about every show and film in the franchise! I've listened to that soundtrack repeatedly more than any other recently. Thanks again for the great video!
Dan this is a great interview! In the CZcams movie space, you are the top dog! This was a perfect gift after a great show! Also great work on jumping on Demon Slayer
I'm one of those people who did not like Season 3 nearly to the degree as a lot of other fans. But Terry Matalas clearly knows Star Trek. He clearly cares about the franchise. And he seems like a pretty humble and likeable guy. At the very least, I got some legitimately nice moments with the legacy cast, and I got to see my favorite ship in Sci-Fi on screen once again. I may have my criticisms (although admittedly it's a shorter list than I had with Seasons 1 & 2) , but I do hope Terry gets to keep working in the franchise.
I have never been so excited for an interview! So happy you got to tell Matalas everything I would want to tell him regarding this season! I loved it and boy was this a great interview!
I am not going to watch this video yet because I am only on episode 6. I avoided Picard because I heard it was garbage but I started season 3 because you said it was good. You were right and I am glad I listed to you. I have seen every episode of SNG, DS9, Voyager and Enterprise multiple times and I am loving season 3 of Picard. Thank you Dan for recommending that I watch season 3 even if I skipped season 1 and 2.
I’ve watched a lot of videos on Picard S3 since I loved S3 so much but this one is THE BEST. Wow, the hour flew by. Great job, Dan!!!
Wow what an interview. Thank you!!!
What a fantastic interview! Matalas is such a genuine fan, and it's clear that he was trying to give us all the best send off he could for the TNG crew and it shows. The passion is clear and I'm sorry to see he still has the self doubt due to some fan reaction. What's mind blowing is that he was writing and shooting this whilst the disaster that was season 2 wasn't even out. To have the foresight to know that a course correction was needed is prophetic.
Trek, especially TNG era trek, is at its core about humanities evolution and betterment. It has a strong moral compass… and the best trek always took moral and ethical issues and examined them from all sides.
I didn’t see much of that in s3. The fan service was nice though, no doubt.
The Enterprise D was a wonderful surprise. I was convinced that they would steal an Enterprise from episode 3 or 4 since the homage to the original crew (Search for Spock) was very much in the air. I just thought it was going to be the E or F, particularly since they kept mentioning that F was in spacedock for decommissioning. Wonder if that was an intentional fakeout? If so, bravo. Possibly the greatest season of Trek.
Awesome interview!!!
Absolutely loved Picard Season 3! Best trek season in a loooong time. Thank you Terry Matalas! And I’m glad Mr. Dan Murrell is finally onboard the Picard train. :)
Great analysis and review. Wonderful to see Trek on the rise.
Great interview! Thanks to Terry for coming on.
Terry Matalas is a superfan. He's got a proton pack and Audrey II. He loves this material as a fan. It's so awesome to see his vision of Star Trek. I really hope he gets his series.
He's not just a superfan; he's family. He was a Production Assistant on Voyager and Enterprise
Thank you for doing this. Season 3 of Picard is one of the greatest seasons of Star Trek I've ever seen.
This legit one of my favorite interviews ever lol. Rlm needs to watch this for sure
I REALLY geeked out, thank you 🙏🖖🏽
"weird doesnt make sense shotgun phaser thing" lol im glad he said this cause i thought the same thing.
Has become my favorite star trek thing in all of the star trek things. Absolutely brilliant. Greenlight the Legacy!
Great interview. Wish you would have asked Terry about the James T. Kirk Easter Egg on Daystrom Station.
I did my best to try asking about things that weren't covered in previous interviews.
Fantastic interview, Dan!
Love that terry is a fan of yours as well!
Wonderful!
👏
Great conversation Dan, and a redemption for a show I had given up on. I binged s3 over 2 nights literally because I wanted to watch this video, but those last episodes especially were very special. The carpet joke resonated with me in a real way, too. I've long maintained that TNG has a cozy feel even in its darkest episodes and having that back for even a moment was so good. Hoping Legacy leans into that approach, where spending time with the cast is a heartwarming experience, carpet or no.
Isn't it so heartwarming to be excited over Star Trek again? And boy does that say a whole lot about pretty much everything else released since 2017. I know those shows have their fans to varying degrees but NONE of those shows have had the reaction that Picard Season 3 has gotten. I certainly agree that Legacy should have been green lit by now. I'm positive it's just a matter of time. There's no way the studio ignores the overwhelming success of this season.
It's kind of wild that they shot this back to back with Season 2 even before Season 2 had dropped. That means the season is not really a reaction to the fans reaction to the abysmally bad 2nd Season. Because at that time they did not have had the feedback to it.
So they actually steered away from the abyss all on their own.
That actually gives me hope. Because it means that creative teams can correct their decisions largely on their own, when they see their own product and don't need fans to tell them that their first attempts sucked ass.
Brilliant stuff here, really hope they continue with the TNG cast still, as they have so much still to give us fans.
Wish they would give the cast of Enterprise a proper ending after the 4th series too.
The 3rd and 4th seasons were great and they deserve a proper send off like TNG or just make more series 👍🏻
42:41 On that topic, a mindblowing thing I learned a while ago is that the space station model from the opening of 2001: A Space Odyssey was dumped in a field! You can find black and white photos of this online, taken by someone who found it at the time in 1974. I think they are strangely haunting.
Great talk about a great season of Trek. Appreciate your Star Trek geekiness Dan 😁!!
This was without question the best season of Star Trek Picard. if Legacy happens i will 100% be watching.
there was a lot to love in this show.
Aww I would have asked him if he wanted to have the same kind of send-off they did in The Undiscovered Country with the autographs of the cast…
Terrific interview! I loved this season of Picard. Give us Star Trek Legacy now!
Love this video, hope you are doing a full review / breakdown soon. I wonder if you brought up in private the “Does it make sense, I don’t know” you quoted so much from Season 2. Loved Season 3 and felt the same way you did Dan.
My season 2 review was one of the first things we talked about prior to the interview. Terry had seen it and he’s a pro. Neither of us felt the need to defend our previous work, and there was no expectation to from either of us. We were just very excited to talk about this season.
@@DanMurrellMovies Yeah, I didn’t think he’d be mad or anything or you’d bash him on it. I was just curious. I think right now is a great time to celebrate Picard Season 3 bringing Trek back in the limelight in a way I hadn’t seen since TNG was on it’s final season. This is great and hoping for Legacy.
He did everyone proud...Huge respect~!
Oh. I've never seen an episode of this show lol, i just saw Dan had a new video and clicked immediately. Heres to engaging the algorithm :)
i had heard also that it was great from my friends too
So awesome
Mi Gente! Great interview. Love these deep dives
First! In Terry we trust!
❤
As always, thank you so very much for the videos.
