Thanks Star Trek: PicardWe know about the gloomy future of the title. He becomes a washed old war hero that ends up in the robot’s body with a lot of mistakes from the D&D meeting before he joins his old crew and his son, whom he never knew he had. Frankly, it was a very bizarre future for our favorite character and it was painful to see Patrick Stewart stuck in two seasons of terrible narrative before the decent season 3. Interesting but interesting Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Showrunner Ira Steven Behr imagined a better future for Picard decades ago.

Other future Star Trek for Picard

In the question Star Trek per month Since 1998 Behr mentioned Picard’s future in connection with the discussion about Next generation The episode “Who follows the observer”. According to him, it was a “good hour of television” in which Picard is wrong with God primitive people, but the showrunner lamented over the show that he had to move from this episode “Because it was a bold.” He said, “If the writers had five seasons to work with the thread, who knows how many twists and turns Jean-Luc could go through,” but the nature of a serialized narrative meant “This opportunity just wasn’t just there.”

But if you have never seen “who follows the observer” or it’s been for some time, you may need a repeater about what this Star Trek The episode is OA as concerned with Picard’s future. In this story, the Star Fleet base helps a specialized camouflage technology to a spy on some primitive aliens. When a camouflage disorder causes a native to be injured, he is taken to a medical care business, but inefficient memory deletion means he remembers “Picard”, someone describing the rest of his people as a divine being.

At the end of it Star Trek: Next generation The episode, Picard’s own future is in serious threat, because he risk his life to prove that he is not God. Specifically stands in front of the bow and arrow And he tells the misconception to kill him if that is what is needed to prove that Picard is not God. Fortunately, a good captain is only injured and is able to balance matters with a native before returning to the company.

Ira Steven Behr seems to say that in the perfect world we could have five years of narration that revolved around Picard’s interactions with this planet and her people. Of course he’s right. For cool, like this episode (Picard is literally willing to die for his own ideals!), It would be fun to see the slowed train of random violation of first -class guidelines. Specifically, it would be interesting to see what other alternatives the captain and his crew had explored before putting Picard’s life on the line as a last, desperate effort.

The great irony of the words Star Trek Showrunner is that the future of Picard he describes would be something like a show Picard He could explore. Behr lamented over the old school form of a television narrative, in which each episode was a separate adventure with very few calls to call for earlier stories. In fact, his own DS9 series was the first trek show that interrupted this convention. Now, with a prestigious show with shorter periods based on a unique story, it could be rewarded for Picard to give us several seasons as “who follows the observer” of the arch.

Unfortunately, your own future Star Trek has become quite grim and PicardThe first two seasons were violent and confusing mess. This is evidence (if someone still needs it) that building your seasons around a unique story only works if this story is told. The story of Picard gives his life on the line to save the development foreign The species is exciting, but the stories of running around with Romulan Sidekick, who only knows how to sweat with his enemies?

Yeah … We’d rather take the arrow on your chest before they sat down that again.
