Most Star Trek fans agree Picarsky was pretty uneven during the first two seasons, but he managed to gracefully cement his landing for Season 3. However, one legend from this venerable franchise recently revealed that his planned cameo was completely cut, and the cameo would have made the killer final season even better. Voyager actor Garrett Wang revealed that he is going to take part in the Picarsky Season 3 as a Starfleet captain, but was cut from the show altogether.

Harry Kim loses again

This came in a wide-ranging interview with TrekMovie’s Garrett Wang, which covered everything from his hilarious Lower decks cameo to his abortion Picarsky a cameo Originally, he was to play a similar narrative role as Shelby, an ambitious commander from PNG two parts of The Best of Both Worlds, which later appeared on Picarsky in the rank of admiral. The idea incl Voyager The graduate never came to fruition, but the actor spoke about how close the idea was.

According to Garrett Wanghe actually got confirmation from his supervisor that he was enrolled Picarsky Season 3. However, its planned part was simply shortened. As he put it, it originally had “a three-episode arc, which then changed to two, then one.” However, his manager told him that he would need to be in Los Angeles for a costume fitting and that plans for his cameo were far enough along that his character’s name would appear in the scripts.

It actually belonged to Gareth Wang Voyager Castor (i Picarsky regular) Jerry Ryan, who opened up about how he was abruptly fired from the show. She told him that his character had been written into the script, but after a series of revisions, Kim’s character was nowhere to be seen. This led to Wan being “depressed for months afterwards”, though he eventually got a second chance to come back thanks to his cameo in a hilarious episode Lower decks.

The loss of Picard

Now, why are we so sure that Garrett Wan would make it Picarskygreat last season even better? For one thing, he’d be a much cooler cameo than Admiral Shelby. Fans only got two episodes with Shelby, while we got seven years with Ensign Kim, and his sudden appearance would be just as memorable and touching as when Tim Russ reprized his character Tuvok in the last episode.

Besides, there are few of them Star Trek actors are more passionate about the franchise than Gareth Wan, and he would make the most of the Picarsky a cameo For context, this actor takes time out of his busy schedule every year to direct the Trek Track for Dragon Con, the biggest and best science fiction and fantasy conventions in the Southeast. He is someone who refuses to simply sign a few autographs to make thousands of fans have a good time every year, and he would surely use his cameo role to continue to delight fans with his passion.

Finally, there’s a fair argument to be made that Garrett Wang deserved it Picarsky cameo role, especially after the actor’s horror story about being executed Voyager. In this latest show, he claims that he wasn’t allowed to do episodes, that he was shamed for putting on weight, and that his character was a midshipman, all because he didn’t rub some producers’ noses in. A cameo won’t magically fix all that, but writing Kim in as the captain might belatedly make up for him sticking around as the humble Voyager boy for so long.

Anyway, Garrett Wang has it all worked out. He did not get his Picarsky cameo, but he got a cameo in one of the Lower decks“The best series. And he is Voyager Castor Robert Duncan McNeil continue to entertain fans with their excellent Delta Flyer podcast, a must-check for every Star Trek enthusiast. As for us, we don’t yet know what the future holds for this franchise, but we do know one thing First priority seriously need to write down: the more Wang, the better it will be.
