Star Trek: Picard "The Last Generation" Preview: They ARE The Cavalry

With the series finale next week, Wil Wheaton's The Ready Room shared a preview for Star Trek: Picard series finale "The Last Generation."

We needed to look no further than Wil Wheaton (Star Trek: The Next Generation) and his franchise podcast series, The Ready Room, to understand just how big the ramifications would be & will be coming out of this week's penultimate episode "Vox" and next week's series finale "The Last Generation" (written & directed by series showrunner & executive producer Terry Matalas). Because when we were expecting the latest edition to drop on Thursday, Wheaton offered us the heads-up that it was being delayed until today because… spoilers! With one episode left to go, we know that it's going to take Jean-Luc (Stewart) & his reunited crew and a newly rebuilt Enterprise-D to save the Federation from the Borg's mass assimilation. But for there to be any chance at our heroes of making the save, sacrifices were made & losses were suffered – but that's nothing compared to what the future has in store if the Borg can't be stopped.

In this week's episode, Jonathan Frakes (Will Riker) and [SPOILER] join Wheaton to break down the streaming series' penultimate episode. In addition, the episode also looks back at Frontier Day and some interesting "Star Trek" trivia. But it's the preview at the 32:40 mark that you'll want to check out, as Geordi (LeVar Burton) and Data (Brent Spiner) let the rest of the crew know that not only is the cavalry not coming – they are the cavalry:
