Ito Aghayere, who plays a young Guinan on StarTrekPicard, shared her personal connection to the franchise, explaining that The Next Generation was one of the only TV shows her conservative parents allowed her to watch as a child.
The actor who has been cast to play a young Guinan on Star Trek: Picard reflects on her relationship with the Star Trek franchise. Star Trek: Picard began its second outing in early March, and is now reaching the midway point of its ten-episode run before season 2’s finale hits screens on May 5th.
Those cameos include a young Guinan, who is living on Earth in 2024 and running her 10 Forward bar in L.A. The El-Aurian bartender isn’t played by Whoopi Goldberg, however, and has been recast with Ito Aghayere taking on the role. The character appears in Star Trek: Picard season 2, episode 4, “Watcher,” when Admiral Picard is sent to the bar on his search for the elusive Watcher.
“I watched all of ‘TNG’ as a kid, primarily because my parents are immigrants, and they’re very conservative. As a kid growing up, there were very few shows that they would let us watch without having to care what it was about, or understand what it was about. I don’t think I told Patrick — as I probably should have — but they thought he looked really smart and intelligent. So they were like, ‘Eh, she’s gonna learn something, let them watch it.
The chances are that Aghayere's parents were right, and that the young actor did learn from the series. Star Trek: The Next Generation’s episodes would often raise challenging ethical questions through the medium of science fiction, and helped to promote progressive values like tolerance, the value of diversity and equality, and open-mindedness.
Although Aghayere was undoubtedly excited to portray a character who is so beloved by fans of the series, her appearance in Star Trek: Picard raised more questions than it answered. While most audiences will be able to understand the practical reasons behind the recasting, many have been left wondering why Aghayere’s version of the character didn’t recognize Admiral Picard after the events of “Time’s Arrow,” when the two met in 1893.
