Famous Punk Returns in Amazing “Star Trek: Picard” Cameo

By Mary Anne ButlerMarch 25, 20221 Min Read

The most recent episode of Paramount+ series “Star Trek: Picard” featured a pretty amazing cameo. Yes, so too did the season 4 finale episode of “Star Trek: Discovery,” but this one is for the classic Trek fans.

The episode, directed by Leah Thompson, sees the return of The Punk from “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.” If you didn’t know, that iconic Save The Whales bus-riding mohawk-wearin’ guy is none other than Kirk Thatcher. Producer, special effects wizard, writer, director- this guy does it all.

In case you forgot that amazing mohawk and sneer from “The Voyage Home”

"Guess who's back? Back again! Punk on Bus. Tell a friend!"
