Jonathan Frakes as Will Riker and Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard. One of the central themes in Star Trek: Picard has been the importance of accepting every bit of your past, so you can move forward to a new future.
The story features Q sending Picard and his companions to an alternate timeline where humanity has formed the xenophobic "Confederation of Earth" instead of the United Federation of Planets. They have to travel back in time to the 21st century to prevent that dark future from happening.
Retired from Starfleet and living on his family's vineyard, Picard is drawn into a new adventure when he is visited by a synthetic "daughter" of Data, one of several new synthetic beings or "synths". Picard fights for their right to exist and gives his life to save them.
I know some people didn't enjoy the first 2 seasons that much, most did but some did not. Almost everyone liked the third season because of the nostalgia of all The Next Generation characters reunited. I actually really liked all three seasons.
Discovery is more action-oriented and features a host of new species and planets. Picard, on the other hand, lines up more with its parent show, The Next Generation. It's far more cerebral, and it gives us more fan service and nostalgia with characters like Q, Guinan, and the Borg Queen.
Fans of Star Trek: The Original Series prize Kirk for his rough and tumble attitude, and the cheesy, over-the-top style of his acting that matches the show around him. On the other hand, fans of TNG prefer Picard for his sophistication, his commanding demeanor, and the classically trained actor that portrays him.
Fans felt that Picard failed to deliver on its season arcs and lacked the essence of the original Star Trek shows. Many fans believed that the portrayal of Picard as an action hero was a failure and didn't align with the character they knew and loved from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
In this episode, Picard is in search of ambassador Spock who may have defected to the Romulan Empire. This episode has been praised for the "novelty and nostalgia" of seeing Spock, and noted for introducing a peace-loving Romulan faction.
When Captain Worf (Michael Dorn) is finally reunited with Picard, Riker, and Dr. Crusher, the old Klingon warrior thanks Jean-Luc for the gift of "sour mead". Confused by this, Riker remarks that Worf is referring to Château Picard.
Star Trek: Picard Season 3 firmly established Jack Crusher as a significant character within the beloved franchise, placing him alongside the iconic figures of the series. As the son of the esteemed Jean-Luc Picard and Beverly Crusher, Jack (Ed Speleers) plays a crucial role in the Star Trek canon.
In a later episode, “The Pegasus,” he tells Riker that he always “wanted someone who would stand up to [him],” something Riker does right from the get go. Riker showed Picard cared more for the safety of the ship and crew than his record, affirming to Picard that this man was fit to be his first officer.
When Picard met the Borg Queen (Alice Krige) in Star Trek: First Contact, he learned that she wanted him to be "a counterpart" for herself atop the Borg hive mind. Thus, among the billions of life forms the Borg assimilated, Jean-Luc Picard was always considered special by the Collective.
Q seemed frightened of Guinan, telling Picard that she is "not what she appears to be," and that Picard should remove her from the Enterprise. Considering Q's abilities, it's unclear why he would be afraid of Guinan, and Star Trek has never offered a real explanation for Q's reaction.
'Star Trek: Picard' was canceled because the series creators only anticipated a three-season arc. While fans have many reasons to be upset over the cancelation of Star Trek: Picard, being upset on behalf of the creators shouldn't be one of those reasons.
In Star Trek: Picard, this has not changed, but Picard has mellowed down and has become more contemplative than he was before. He is, of course, much older now too. As such, his approach to saving the galaxy involves far less action, and focus is rather placed on his inner struggles more than external ones.
During The Search for Spock, Saavik (Robin Curtis) mated with Spock to keep him from dying during the Pon Farr he experienced while rapidly aging on the Genesis Planet. The film only implied that the two had been intimate, but there were plans for Saavik to be pregnant with Spock's baby in subsequent movies.
Captain Picard never appeared on Star Trek: Voyager. He was mentioned once by Deana Troi (who did appear, but never met Janeway) in the episode “Pathfinder”. The only time Picard and Janeway talk onscreen is in Star Trek: Nemesis when Janeway, having been promoted to vice admiral, gives him his assignment.
The elder Spock died off-screen on New Vulcan on January 2, 2263. Ambassador Spock was 161 when he died in the Kelvin timeline, although his final death chronologically happened 12 years before his original Prime timeline death in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
As seen in the pilot episode "Emissary", Sisko harbored a deep resentment towards Captain Jean-Luc Picard for years because it was Picard, as Locutus of Borg, who led the Borg attack against the Federation at the Battle of Wolf 359.
Wesley Crusher Had to Sacrifice His Human Life to Become a Traveler. According to Wheaton, "One of the fundamental rules of being in the Travelers is that, once you've joined, you must NEVER interact directly with the people, places, planets, etc.
After they escape, Crusher hears in Picard's thoughts that he was once in love with her. Jean-Luc and Beverly later get rescued and, once back on the Enterprise-D, they share a kiss and discuss embarking on a relationship. This time, however, it's Beverly who puts a stop to it for fear of ruining their friendship.
Admiral Picard felt similarly restricted, as demonstrated by his resignation, a backfired attempted bluff to maneuver Starfleet's official position. In contrast to these similar roles, Janeway's lengthy record as an admiral decisively surpasses Kirk's and Picard's.
But as Beltran explained on Twitter, he declined to return. “I was offered an episode (first 2 then1) in Picard, but I simply did not like what they had written for Chakotay so I turned them down,” wrote Beltran.
Why did George Takei fall out with William Shatner?
In his 2011 memoir “Shatner Rules,” he said that their discord was a result of Takei's unwillingness to play second fiddle on the show. Takei had other names for him, calling Shatner “a guinea pig” after the 90-year-old's October flight aboard Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin space capsule.
