Jack Crusher is the new Deanna Troi ... kind of.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Ensign Jack Crusher will redefine a major Star Trek: The Next Generation innovation if Star Trek: Picard's proposed spinoff, Star Trek: Legacy, happens. In Picard season 3's finale, "The Last Generation", Jack takes the third bridge chair beside Captain Seven of Nine on the USS Enterprise-G, just as Counselor Deanna Troi did on the Enterprise-D in Star Trek: The Next Generation as the ship's Counselor.
As a spiritual successor to Star Trek: The Next Generation, it makes sense for Star Trek: Legacy to have a similar arrangement for its bridge officers, especially when Jack Crusher is such a significant character. The command trio TNG invented is effective not just in giving most of the main cast a visible place on the bridge, but in emphasizing the importance of emotional concerns and alternate perspectives in making command decisions.
Jack's lifelong experience as a civilian with significant Borg-related trauma makes him someone that Seven can not only relate to but trust to come up with out-of-the-box solutions that may not be in line with the standard Starfleet approach. As an unconventional captain, it makes sense for Seven to choose someone who can be an unconventional counselor.
Jack Crusher Doesn’t Replace Enterprise’s Ship’s Counselor Jack Crusher's new role of Special Counselor to the Captain on the Enterprise-G doesn't replace that of the ship's counselor. The ship's counselor was an innovation by Star Trek: The Next Generation to reflect a focus on the mental health of the crew of the USS Enterprise-D, a Galaxy Class starship housing over 1,000 passengers, including children and families, in an open-ended voyage of exploration.
Starfleet crews still require a counselor to tend to their mental health, and this invention of Star Trek: The Next Generation continues to be a feature of starships that followed the Enterprise-D, given the presence of Dr. Migleemoo on the USS Cerritos in Star Trek: Lower Decks.
