Progressive
Primary
The series' central thesis explicitly promotes progressive ideology by critiquing institutional xenophobia and isolationism, while championing the rights of refugees and artificial intelligence as sentient beings.
The series features a diverse ensemble for its new characters, reflecting intentional casting choices. Its narrative prominently explores themes of prejudice against synthetic life, the complexities of a refugee crisis, and includes explicit queer relationships, often critiquing institutional failures and traditional power structures through these lenses.
Secondary
Star Trek: Picard features a positive and affirming portrayal of a lesbian/bisexual relationship between Seven of Nine and Raffi Musiker. Their partnership is depicted with dignity and complexity, integrated naturally into the narrative without relying on harmful stereotypes or external prejudice. Seven's journey culminates in a position of leadership, further validating queer identity.
The show features female characters who engage in and win close-quarters physical combat against multiple male opponents. These victories are achieved through martial arts, enhanced physical strength, or skilled hand-to-hand fighting.
Star Trek: Picard features returning legacy characters who maintain their established genders from previous Star Trek series. All new characters introduced in the show do not count as gender swaps per the definition.
Star Trek: Picard features returning legacy characters who are portrayed by their original actors or actors of the same race. All new characters introduced in the series do not constitute a race swap as they have no prior established racial identity.
