Midseason Supplemental. The first season of Star Trek: Picard has passed the halfway mark, and each episode has led to a lot of discussion. The fifth, “Stardust City Rag,” was particularly controversial, and we wanted to take this opportunity to dive deeper into some of the debates it has generated. In this supplemental episode of The Line, hosts Brandon-Shea Mutala, Justin Oser, and Chrissie De Clerck-Szilagyi debate whether Seven of Nine’s actions were justified, ask if the Una McCormack’s tie-in novel The Last Best Hope is essential for watching Star Trek: Picard, and explore the differences in the portrayal of sex and violence.
