'Picard’ Season 3 Showrunner Terry Matalas Breaks Down Episode 2 & That Jack Crusher Revelation [Exclusive]

We spoke w/ 'Picard' showrunner TerryMatalas about Episode 2 and that Jack Crusher revelation.

In the second episode of Star Trek: Picard, Picard learns the truth about who Jack Crusher's father is in a beautiful and soul-stirring moment with Beverly Crusher , which builds onto the increasingly high stakes of the scenario that most of the cast of The Next Generation finds themselves in. But paternity isn't the only revelation made in "Disengage," Captain Shaw and the crew of the U.S.S.

It’s a fun contrast to Picard, as well, because Picard is so classical music, and then you have this fantastic rock and roll moment. I really like what we've seen of Jack Crusher on these first two episodes, and not to cross the IP streams, but he's got a Han Solo-ish, rogue-ish charm about him that you instantly just want to be like, "This is my new favorite character."He does have a lot.

It definitely makes sense. I feel like if audiences didn't figure out who he was at the end of Episode 1, they figure it out pretty quickly within the first couple of minutes of Episode 2. I really like the fact that Riker sees it right away. I'm curious to know what is it that Riker sees in him that's like, "Yes, I know exactly who your father is? There's no question."

I thought with the right music cue and the right looks, and the right everything, I really felt like it could work. And it did. So it was the same thing here where we knew the only thing that would convince him, that would pull him out of his denial, was to look Beverly in the eyes, and for her to confirm it. But there really is no great version of that conversation. Do you really need to hear, "Is he my son?" "Yes, he is, Jean-Luc." It's not great.

And then when we went deeper, we started to ask ourselves, what does it mean for Deanna and Will? That is the hardest thing any human could go through. It was losing a child... It's almost impossible for couples to remain together after that. Then we started to ask ourselves, what would that mean for Deanna who could feel everyone's grief, and how would they try and solve that? We look back at Season 1, and it was almost as if they were overcompensating for their grief.

I half expected her to say no, and here we are. What was unique about it is we shot the first five episodes without Amanda, and then we brought her in because she's mostly on the view screen. So we brought [her] in and block shot her stuff. So we didn't really know if Vadic was going to work until halfway into the season.

MATALAS: Well, all I can tell you is I drove that poor art department insane. I think we probably looked at 600, or something, ships by the time we were done. It was tough because I wanted it to be so iconic, on par with the Klingon Bird-of-Prey, or some of these other ships, that when you see the Titan, if you ever had a Titan model, you would have to have a Strike model to chase it. So that meant incorporating different kinds of elements.

I really love what a badass introduction that Worf has. It's great to see him back on screen again, kicking ass and taking names. How did you arrive at the decision to have him be the handler for Raffi, and that plot line start to develop with those two?
