Spoilers Alison Pill……..

The weird thing about the Picard cast is, they were never supposed to be a crew in the first place. It was retired old Jean Luc and a bunch of mercs and weirdos he assembled for season one. Getting them all together again at the start of season two was enough of a stretch.
And season 3 looks like a full-on TNG reunion anyway, so if they stayed they'd get the TOS Uhura treatment.

Oh she'll be back...in STAR TREK: ONLINE! They all somehow enter the STO 'verse and make some pretty good storylines to play.
I kinda wish they’d turn their stories into an audio play or some such. I like the idea of new stories voiced by so many Trek actors, but I can’t bear the gameplay.
Like Big Finish has done for Doctor Who. The potential for something similar for Star Trek is off the charts, but as I understand it the recent Raffi-Seven audio adventure was a first for the franchise. It's surprising it hasn't been done before.
As a fan of Big Finish, I completely agree! And, if I remember correctly, Nicholas Briggs said at the last Big Finish Day that they would absolutely love to get the license to do Star Trek audios. So, fingers crossed!
This is a bitter Pill to swallow. Agnes Jurati was insanely entertaining this season, and the most alive member of the cast. By that I mean she was given power to reach all four quadrants of her internal galaxy. No disrespect to the other players intended. I want to make that clear.
I see what you did there, nice. lol
I just noticed a 2021 movie called All My Puny Sorrows that Allison is in. Might be worth a look to see her as a different character.
Leading to the spin off series "All my Rios'"
Can we, though? Because I strongly suspect that La Sirena is also gone, due to timey-wimey. Alt!Sirena made the journey to the past, where she was appropriated by Borgati as the start of her Cooperative. And if Agnes as a result disappeared from the main timeline, and Rios disappeared also having stayed in the past...that suggests that La Sirena would also have disappeared. Which means the holos are gone too. Having decided to write Rios out, the show really did go scorched earth on him!
Oh, duh. Well, I think Chris Rios is done, then. Santiago is in demand, so I am happy for his career. I honestly think that we're going to have someone come back to the story with the good Borg. But unfortunately I think they'll resolve it in Discovery. Like having poor Queen Aggie be hanging out for another 700 years alone.
For her sake I'd hope that instead they let Allison have her own TV special, like a two-hour movie, that focuses on the guardians at the gate.
Evan Evagora, Isa Briones, and Santiago Cabrera have all confirmed that they are not in season 3, as has Allison Pill. Jeri Ryan and Michelle Hurd have confirmed that they are. It appears Seven and Raffi will be the only ones to remain.
And let's be honest here. That makes sense. We know that season 3 is to be a full-on TNG reunion, one last adventure for that cast. It would be difficult, at best, to combine that with an entirely different cast from seasons 1 and 2. And in a more practical sense, I doubt the budget could support that.
Of course, there could be some surprises. But if season 3 is about the old TNG crew, I suspect they won't be sharing the spotlight with a lot of "the new guys."
It's extremely disappointing that Elnor and Sojii won't be part of the S3 cast. I was really hoping to see the TNG crew, particularly Geordi, meet Data's daughter. And I think Worf and Elnor would have been a really interesting pair!
Agreed on all counts. Dropping Soji especially feels like a miss. At least Elnor got a bit of...well, maybe not character development, but at least attention in S2. He mattered to the narrative on some level. Soji just got ejected. Letting her at least meet Data's closest friend would be something.
I really liked S2 for the most part, but not developing Soji is an absolute crime.
ETA: As I'm thinking about it, I think it bothers me so much because the structure of S1 was as much about Soji as about Jean-Luc. In a very real sense, PIC S1 is built around the relationship between Jean-Luc and Soji, their building trust and establishing an ersatz grandfather/granddaughter relationship. Not having Soji right there with Jean-Luc all throughout S2 was a major mistake. End edit.
The good news is that the door is still open for Soji to return at some point in a future 25th Century spinoff.
