"The New Star Trek Show Is a Chance to Last Jedi..." Topic

the Hell Out of Captain Picard.

"Star Trek Las Vegas 2018 confirmed a huge piece of news for the Trek universe last weekend: the rumors were true, and Sir Patrick Stewart would be returning to television to reprise his role as an older, wiser Jean-Luc Picard in a new Star Trek series. We know little else about the series beyond that, but I really hope it does for Picard what Star Wars: The Last Jedi did for Luke Skywalker.

That sort of hoping might rankle longtime Trek fans. In fact, many of them have spent the last few days desperately hoping for the direct opposite of Star Trek: The Last Jedi. They've read Stewart's own statement that the new show's Picard would be a "man who has been changed by his experiences" and shuddered at the mere thought of a disillusioned, weary Picard roaming around an isolated family vineyard swigging freshly-squeezed Targ milk. They'd already had to go through one traumatic fictional upheaval, why wish that on another old hero? Why can't Picard just be the Picard we saw in TNG and the movies?

Because that would be kind of boring, for starters…."

I'd prefer to see him as the ambassador to some volatile new alien empire. Could be all sorts of factional intrigue, internecine warfare, maneuvering with UFP central…

Good idea!…
