When the fifth episode of Star Trek: Picard, "Stardust City Rag,” was released, it immediately became one of the most talked about and controversial episodes in Star Trek’s 53-year history. A main focus of the discussion and controversy was the first scene, in which Icheb—returned as a Starfleet officer—suffers a brutal dismemberment and a heart-wrenching death.

In this episode of The Line, hosts Chrissie De Clerck-Szilagyi and Justin Oser interview Casey King, who plays Icheb in the episode "Stardust City Rag." We talk with him about acting in one of the most intense scenes in Star Trek: Picard, working with Jonathan Frakes and Jeri Ryan, the fan reaction to Icheb’s death, the backstory he created for the character, and much more!
