It’s hard to keep up with the various spin-offs and series that are on the air or in production, and right now the second season of Star Trek: Picard streaming worldwide.
Following the release of episode two – ‘Maintenance’ – last week, presenter Terry Matalas revealed a surprising trick quiz about the standard Starfleet logo over Twittera horrifying fact that will terrify the hearts of many Nintendo fans: Picard not only murdered Super Mario Yoshi’s trusty dinosaur steed, but also displayed his skull for all to see. Watch in a macabre gallery of his defeated enemies. Blimey!
Okay, some context. Season 2 of Picard sees the first captain transported to the dark alternate timeline with the help of his old friend Q, where he is no longer Admiral Picard, the famous galactic explorer. , speaker and connoisseur Earl Gray, but Shared Picard, the fearsome xenophobic, autocratic and destroyer of the entire race.
