Or perhaps the song is just used to draw a line of continuity from Jean-Luc's last Star Trek adventure to his latest one. The track opens with the Klingon Victory Song, followed by a remix of Data singing Che Gelida Manina in the episode ‘In Theory. "Blue Skies" could be a sign that, even though B-4 was a false dawn, Soji could be used to bring Data back into existence for real if a replacement body could be found (probably from a large draw in a scientific institute). It is an original track featuring the voices of Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Commander Data (Brent Spiner), accompanied by a music video I shot entirely in my living room with a green screen and lights. Data's daughters are so technologically advanced, it's currently unclear how they were brought into being and exactly what their relation to Data is. Although B-4 might not have been able to carry Data's legacy forward as suggested in Nemesis, Dahj's twin, Soji, might be the answer. However, the use of "Blue Skies" perhaps does hint at Data's survival in Star Trek: Picard. Beverly Crusher, Admiral Jean-Luc Picard enlists help from generations old and new to embark on one final adventure: a daring mission that will change Starfleet, and his old crew forever. In the 2002 movie, "Blue Skies" is used to tease that B-4 might've taken on Data's data and turned into the genuine article, but Star Trek: Picard confirms that ultimately wasn't the case, and the replacement android failed to live up to expectations before suffering disassembly because of the synth ban. After receiving a cryptic, urgent distress call from Dr. Strangely, the same episode arguably also serves to discredit the song's significance at the end of Star Trek: Nemesis. The use of the same song in Star Trek: Picard's first episode immediately signposts that Data's death and the philosophical debate over sentience of androids will be key themes in the upcoming story, and so it proves with the arrival of Dahj, the reveal of her android parentage and the return of Bruce Maddox and the Daystrom Institute.
