More Episodes

Are you excited about the return of Captain Picard?!?!  We are!!  Do you have a friend/spouse/pet who might need a little refresher course on who this Picard guy is and what the heck is going on with these Borg people?  Well, we put together a list of episodes to watch while you're waiting.  Think of it as a little Star Trek Picard primer based on what we know so far about the show. You have a few months to get ready but if you don’t want to marathon all of TNG & Voyager, this watch list should help. 

First-- the basics. You’ll be introduced to Captain Picard, Data, and the Borg. 
- Star Trek TNG - S1. E13. Datalore
- Star Trek TNG - S2. E9. Measure of a Man. 
- Star Trek TNG - S3. E26. & S4. E1. Best of Both Worlds (parts 1 & 2)
- Star Trek TNG - S4. E2. Family
- Star Trek TNG - S4. E3. Brothers
- Star Trek TNG - S5. E23. I Borg
- Star Trek TNG - S5. E25. The Inner Light
- Star Trek TNG - S6. E15. Tapestry 
- Star Trek TNG - S6. E26. & S7. E1. Descent (parts 1 & 2)
- Star Trek TNG- S7. E25 & 26. All Good Things (parts 1 & 2)
- Star Trek: Generations 
- Star Trek: First Contact

Then you’ll want to know who Seven on Nine is! 
- Star Trek VOY - S3. E26. & S4. E1. Scorpion (parts 1 & 2)
- Star Trek VOY - S4. E2. The Gift
- Star Trek VOY - S6. E16. Collective 
- Star Trek VOY - S7. E18 Human Error 
- Star Trek VOY - S7. E 25 & 26. Endgame (pats 1 & 2)

Then wrap up the Picard & Data story
- Star Trek: Nemesis

Finally, I think the 24th-century events in this film will matter a lot-- specifically what happens to the planet Romulus.
