because Star Trek: Picardwe know the grim future of title roles. He becomes a cleaned old war hero and ends up running around the robot’s body, having a bunch of inappropriate people at a D&D meeting, and then rebuilds with his old crew and son he never knew of before Contact. Frankly, it’s a very strange future for our favorite characters, seeing Patrick Stewart Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Showrunner Ira Steven Behr imagines the future of Picard decades ago as a better one.
Another Star Trek Future from Picard
In a question Star Trek Monthly Behr mentioned Picard’s future in the context of discussion since 1998 The next generation The plot “Who looks at the observer”. According to him, it was “a good hour of television” in which Picard was mistaken for God by the Primitives, but the performers lamented that the show had to move on from this episode “because it was about bold development.” He continued : “If the writer had five seasons to work with that thread, who knows how many twists and turns Jean-Luc might go through,” the nature of serialized storytelling means “this opportunity isn’t not that there.”
But if you’ve never seen “Who Looking at the Observer,” or have been around for a while, you might need to resurrect this Star Trek plot and how it focuses on Picard’s future. In this story, the business is helping a Starfleet outpost that uses specialized camouflage technology to monitor some original aliens. When a disguise fails to hurt a person, he is transported to a business for medical services, but the erasure of ineffective memory means he remembers “Picard”, who describes the rest of his people as a godlike man.
To the end Star Trek: The Next Generation In the plot, Picard’s own future is in serious danger as he risked his life to prove that he is not God. Specifically, he put himself in front of the bow and arrow and told the wrong person to kill him if that was to prove that Picard was not God’s need. Fortunately, the good captain was just injured and was able to resolve issues with locals before returning to the business.
Ira Steven Behr seems to be saying that in a perfect world, five years of storytelling that we could have told around Picard’s interaction with the planet and its people. Of course, he was right. Because this episode is cool (Picard is willing to die for his ideal!), it’s fun to see the slow-motion train wreck that accidentally violates the accidental Prime command. Specifically, it’s interesting to note what other alternatives the captain and his crew explored before putting Picard’s life above the last effort.
The irony of the words of the Star Trek performer is that the future of Picard he describes will be a show Picard What could have been explored. Behr lamented the old-fashioned form of TV storytelling, each episode is an independent adventure, with little call back to the early stories. In fact, his own DS9 series was the first trek to break that convention. Now, with prestige performances built around a single story, Picard might give us a few seasons of “viewer” arcs, which might make sense.
Unfortunately, the future of Star Trek has become very serious, and PicardThe first two seasons were violent and confusing chaos. It is proof (if anyone still needs it) that building your season around a bizarre story works only if one is worth telling. Picard’s story gradually saved the development of alien species, but about his story of running around with the Romans, he only knows how to behead his enemies?
Yes…we would rather take arrows to our chest than sit That again.
