Star Trek: Picard season 3's climactic poker scene has been recreated into perfect fan art by painter Jenny Johnson. Written and directed by Terry Matalas, Picard season 3's finale, "The Last Generation," saw the crew of the USS Enterprise-D save the galaxy one more time from the Borg and the Changelings. To celebrate their ultimate triumph, Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his oldest friends gathered at Ten Forward for a rousing game of poker in an emotionally resonant final scene that's a fitting goodbye to these beloved Star Trek legends.

On Twitter, Canadian artist Jenny Johnson shared her labor of love, an oil painting of Star Trek: Picard season 3's finale poker scene. The overhead shot of the TNG icons at the poker table perfectly recreates the moment of the final episode, and it took Johnson many hours to paint. Check out the final product and Jenny's Tweets showing her painting the image here:

Johnson has a fan in Star Trek: Picard season 3 showunner Terry Matalas, who raved about her painting. Check out Matalas' Twitter reply here:

There's no doubt Johnson's painting perfectly captures the Picard finale's iconic poker scene. Johnson has also painted numerous other iconic sci-fi and pop culture moments. Jenny Johnson's art can be purchased here.

Will Star Trek: Legacy Follow Up The Success Of Picard Season 3?

Star Trek: Picard season 3's ending also set up Terry Matalas' proposed spinoff continuation, which he calls Star Trek: Legacy. The follow-up show would be set on the USS Enterprise-G commanded by Captain Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) and would feature Ensign Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers), the son of Jean-Luc Picard and Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden). Star Trek: Legacy would also bring back the newer characters like Lt. Sidney La Forge (Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut) and the TNG icons like Captain Will Riker (Jonathan Frakes), Commodore Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton), and Q (John de Lancie) would also appear.

In spite of Star Trek: Picard season 3's runaway success with critics and audiences, including repeatedly charting in Nielsen's Top 10 streaming show, however, Paramount+ has not given Star Trek: Legacy a green light. The current WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, as well as Paramount+ adjusting to the changing streaming landscape, means it could be a while until good news about Star Trek: Legacy happens. Meanwhile, a Change.org petition demanding Star Trek: Legacy has over 61,000 signatures. Whatever happens with Star Trek: Legacy, Star Trek: Picard season 3 was a remarkable achievement, and its final poker scene will be remembered for generations.
