What to Watch: Lesbian weed, a queer Oscar nominee and Picard beams down again
Whatever your entertainment needs, we got your back (and hopefully your mind) with Queerty’s weekly “Culture Club” column with some of the highlights of new releases, streaming shows, classics worth revisiting, and what to drink while you watch.Sir Patrick Stewart returns to his iconic role as Jean-Luc Picard in this new season of the Star Trek spinoff.
In the aftermath of Picard’s discovery of a planet of androids and surviving a debilitating disease, Picard encounters a foe from the past: the puckish Q (again played by John de Lancie), who maybe has a slight crush on our dear captain.
Q brings to light an anomaly that could (what else) wipe out the entire galaxy. That sends Picard and his crew into an encounter with the Borg, and back in time to change history and avert disaster.
This second season also delves into the blossoming same-sex relationship between Seven of Nine and Raffi (Jeri Ryan and Michelle Hurd), and features the return of Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg) to the action.
