big win for ds9 fans!! two fan favorite species that your show helped humanize have their skulls mounted in picards house for blink and you’ll miss it shots ^_^
Any opportunity for everyone to dress up and do something goofy and offbeat is a win in my book, I mean, Stardust City Rag was the strongest Picard episode for a reason. So I think that they should do should do a classic holodeck malfunction adventure episode. AND…. have it be a holonovel adaptation of The Three Musketeers. It makes total sense since Picard and Elnor bonded over the book and the art of fencing…
and MOST IMPORTANTLY because it’s a perfect opportunity for Rios to get in on the action in a delicious meta twist, since Santiago Cabrera’s portrayal of Aramis on BBC’s The Musketeers amassed a pretty big following for him.
Like honestly I think I lot of people are watching Picard who had never seen an episode of Star Trek before because they loved Santiago Cabrera’s Aramis so much. “Aramis in space” is a whole-ass tag for that very reason.
Anyway, I think in the holonoval, Rios should be Aramis (of course), Elnor should be D’Artagnan (that’s literally his role in the group tbh), Picard should be Athos (since he’s the father-figure), and Seven of Nine should be Porthos because I think it would be funny and holodeck adventures are Seven’s guilty pleasure. Also, perfect opportunity to make a reference to Admiral Archer’s Prize Beagle. Look me in the eye and tell me that seeing the four of them dressed up like swashbucklers wouldn’t be the star trek episode of the decade.
