I think Patrick Stewart has mentioned that it might be a very different Picard or ST type show to the ones we've seen before. Jean Luc Picard, disgusted at what the Federation High Command has become, either resists or leaves the Federation to set off on his adventures in archaeology say. In outer space, he discovers a conspiracy involving Starfleet in some nefarious scheme to usurp the Federations founding principles and its back to Earth to kick Pen Pusher Jobs worth Ass.

You make it sound a bit like a Star Trek version of Quincey. I'd totally watch that.

I want a Star Trek version of Lovejoy, in which Picard wears a leather jacket and sells fake Vulcan oil paintings to gullible clients.

Gambit: Part III

He has to have a Vulcan sidekick named T'Inker, who's forever showing up trying to sell him knackered old kettles.

Bah, beat me to it!

Given Stewart's remarks about the role of an optimistic, humanistic Trek for our current Age of Shit-rising-to-the-top, I think we can rule out second careers as an embittered Col Kurtz analogue deep in the Gorn jungle, human DaiMon of a Ferengi trader specialising in Orion slave girls, or host of Federation Hyper-Social Media channel "Tea, Earl Grey, Hot Takes".

Personally I'd like a series where a new cast get hold of Picard's Ressikan Flute and spend the whole first season looking for him to come back and defeat B-4 who has turned evil, only finding him in the very last scene. The second season writes itself, but suffice to say it doesn't go how you think. I think it would go down well with the true fans.

I can see the "Why Does CBS/Paramount Hate Straight White Men?" Youtube videos clogging up my recs already.

Better get some caffeine in you before you watch as they've accidentally discovered a cure for insomnia with that trailer.

[Tiplodocus]

Job done for me. I'm in.

[TordelBack]

Ooooh just hook me up to that sweet sweet Next Gen nectar.

This could be terrible beyond imagining, of course, but really anything is better than ending Picard's story with Nemesis. Are we thinking this follows on from a failed evacuation of Romulan space as in ST 2009?

I believe that is indeed the case. I hope he hasn't just spent 15 years doing nothing but pottering about at the vineyard though.

Well, it doesn't show us much but tells us that Picard was involved in some Rescue mission that left him personally devastated. So that fact alone is interesting, and I'll be watching this programme when it appears on Prime.
