"The Star Gazer"

Following the events of Season 1, Picard returns to his life in France with the flame of love unexpectedly flickering in the vineyard. But when his connection to the Romulan Laris comes up against internal defenses, and Starfleet presents him with a mystery, Picard sets out on a journey of personal exploration that leads him to encounters with old friends.

In this episode of The Artificial Tango, our rebranded dedicated Star Trek: Picard podcast that carries forward the flame from The Line, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing discuss the start of Season 2, digging into Picard as a character, his connection to Laris, how Seven on Nine serves as a mirror to Picard, how the story sets up a hopeful Federation worth saving, and how the characters transition from the story of Season 1. We also speculate on where the upcoming adventure in Los Angeles might take us.

Note: This episode is being published as a joint episode of Interphase, our Star Trek Universe podcast, and The Artificial Tango, with Interphase being used to introduce the name change and transition of The Line.
