Even so, Star Trek: Picard has honored elements of Star Trek: The Next Generation’s finale in its work.
Most of the other TNG cast has yet to appear in Picard, so their fates are one big question mark.
Season 1 goes into that situation quite a bit actually, though anyone looking for answers on that should be warned of massive spoilers for the CBS All Access series.
Hopefully, more easter eggs from the finale will be referenced in Season 2, but if not, at least canon already accounted for that!
