Star Trek<\/strong> fans have arguably never had it better, at least in terms of the sheer quantity of boldly-going available for their viewing pleasure. It\u2019s hard to keep up with the various spin-offs and series airing or in production, and right now the second season of Star Trek: Picard<\/strong> is streaming worldwide.<\/p>\n

Following the release of episode two\u2014\u2018Penance\u2019\u2014last week, showrunner Terry Matalas revealed a startling trivia tidbit about the titular Starfleet icon via Twitter<\/a>, a horrid truth that will strike terror into the hearts of many a Nintendo fan: Picard not only murdered Super Mario’s trusty dinosaur steed Yoshi, but also has his skull displayed for all to see in a macabre gallery of his defeated enemies. Blimey!<\/em><\/p>\n

Okay, some context. Season 2 of Picard sees the erstwhile Captain transported to a dark alternate timeline courtesy of his old friend Q where he is no longer Admiral Picard, celebrated galactic explorer, speechmaker and Earl Grey connoisseur, but General<\/em> Picard, fearsome, despotic xenophobe and destroyer of entire races.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s this Picard from the dark timeline that keeps trophy skulls gruesomely displayed in his chateau, one of which was revealed to be a Saurian named ‘Y’shi’, as seen on the plaque in Matalas\u2019 on-set photo:<\/p>\n
