One of the first things Dave did as production designer on season 2 of #StarTrekPicard (without any of my doing!) was to acquire the three-volume version of "The Annotated Shakespeare" for Picard's library in season 2+3 - those books had sorely been missing in season 1! Dave does his homework! 11/12

I remember getting up super early on January 23rd 2020 to watch #StarTrekPicard's "Remembrance" before school. I immediately noticed the open book in the Archive and quickly checked my Shakespeare book article at EAS and my copy - and I fell in love with the show and wanted to write about it. 9/12

The crazy thing about this all is that it was the copy of Picard's Globe Illustrated Shakespeare in Picard's Archive in the #StarTrekPicard season 1 opener "Remembrance" that led me to seriously do research on new #StarTrek episodes back in 2020 and post my findings on social media. 8/12

And the pages chosen from the Annotated Shakespeare vol. I fit perfectly as well, as they were the last pages from vol. I ever seen on #TNG, namely in #StarTrekTNG's "Face of the Enemy"↙️: #StarTrekPicard season 3's "The Next Generation" picks up right where #TNG left off - very fitting indeed!😊 7/12

Fast forward to February 16th, 2023 when the #StarTrekPicard season 3 opener "The Next Generation" first aired and I finally found out which scenes those Shakespeare pages were needed for: Picard receives Beverly's distress call on his old #TNG communicator badge - "a tie to Beverly" indeed! 😅 5/12

I quickly did some research, perused my Shakespeare book article at EAS and took some new screenshots. It didn't take more than 30 minutes to compile everything and get back to Dave. September 3rd 2021 must have been one of the earliest days of filming on #StarTrekPicard season 3, I guessed. 2/12

I have more stories about Picard's ready room Shakespeare books to share from the time I worked on #StarTrekPicard for three years, if you like. 😅 Here's one such story involving Dave Blass! :-) On September 3rd 2021, I received an e-mail from Dave with the subject "ASAP". 1/12

Today, more than ever before, I have to say how glad I am that we got season 3 of #StarTrekPicard, getting my favourite crew back together, just like in the beginning, and helping to overcome the trauma caused by Data's death in "Star Trek: Nemesis". I'm happy this was all resolved!🖖

I never saw Patrick Stewart at a convention and didn't come with him into direct contact in any way when working on #StarTrekPicard but there's one Patrick Stewart/Jean-Luc Picard related achievement that only I have ever made - find proof that Patrick Stewart exists in the #StarTrek universe. 1/10
