"Farewell"

As the Europa mission prepares to launch, Picard and the former crew of the La Sirena must race to prevent Adam Soong from changing their future. Meanwhile, Tallinn fulfills her ultimate mission of protecting Renée and a special guest appears in a park. The end of Q's game arrives in a heartfelt closure to a relationship that spanned more than three decades as he and Jean-Luc both find closure, the penance paid. But the future isn't safe yet as a mysterious threat of galactic proportions must be put down. And then, it's drinks in 10 Forward.

In this episode of The Artificial Tango, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing discuss "Farewell," the final episode of Star Trek: Picard Season 2. We talk about how the characters find closure to the ghosts that have haunted them, reflect on the relationship between Q and Jean-Luc, and connect some final thematic dots. We also explore the winding nature of the timeline and ask whether it does or doesn't all fit together.
