Star Trek Picard Composer Praises DS9 & Voyager In Season 3

Warning: SPOILERS for Star Trek: Picard Season 3, Episode 7 - "Dominion"Stephen Barton, one of the composers for Star Trek: Picard season 3, has praised how the show has incorporated elements from both Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager. The hotly-anticipated Star Trek: The Next Generation reunion has pleasantly surprised many viewers by centering its main plot around the fallout from DS9's Dominion War. On top of this, actor Tim Russ reprised his role as Voyager's Tuvok - with a Changeling twist - in the most recent episode of Picard.
In approaching Star Trek: Picard's season 3 storyline, it's clear that showrunner Terry Matalas has considered how it would also affect characters from TNG's Star Trek contemporaries, something which has further enhanced the story. In an exclusive Screen Rant interview with Picard's composers, Stephen Barton, himself a Star Trek fan, praised Matalas for how he's incorporated his love for all Trek into Picard's final season. Here's what he had to say about Matalas' inclusion of elements from DS9 and Voyager.

What's really nice about this season is that Terry really shined a spotlight on a ton of the stuff that I think some people had sort of said, "Well, that's never coming back. It's all done." I was a big Voyager fan; I was a big DS9 fan. I think there are stories there that could absolutely go somewhere if done the right way; if it's in the hands of someone like Terry. You'll hear the cast say this, too; this is absolutely his baby.
There are shows where that's not the case with showrunners, where there's lots of input and stuff like that, but very much this was Terry's thing. To be able to be part of that was just a huge honor and immense fun. Obviously, if he gets the keys to another track, then yeah, I think we'd both happily be there. It's a huge possibility.
