It pains me to say this but… Patrick Stewart was soooo wrong about Star Trek: Picard. Like, somehow all of his instincts about how to bring Jean-Luc back were just off. But it was only those missteps, and the lessons learned from them, that have allowed the show to finally succeed now, in Picard Season 3.
Listen, I love Stewart. Like, loooove him. But he got it pretty, pretty wrong when he decided to bring back Picard. Which, ironically enough, has turned out to be a good thing for the show in its final season. It all boils down to one thing: If you’re gonna do the nostalgia play, you gotta commit. And Patrick Stewart did not commit. At least not for the first two seasons.
After saying goodbye to the character in Star Trek: Nemesis in 2002, the actor would spend the next 15 years having to answer questions about whether or not Picard would be back one day. Cut to late 2017/early 2018. Star Trek: Discovery had relaunched the franchise on the small screen, and executive producer and new Star Trek overlord Alex Kurtzman was trying to convince Stewart to come back as Jean-Luc for a new show.
Of course, the actor would eventually agree to return, but only under certain conditions… And it was those conditions that would lead to big problems for the show.
Two of Stewart’s original demands may not seem like much at first glance, but they would have a snowball effect on the trajectory of what would become Star Trek: Picard. Patrick Stewart on Graham Norton in 2020: "No uniform and no Enterprise." No uniform and no starship Enterprise. That basically means no Starfleet, right? So, taking that to its natural conclusion, it also pretty much means no Next Generation. And no cast from The Next Generation. Indeed, Michael Chabon, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist who was a writer and EP on Season 1 of the show, said in 2020 that the plan when designing the series was that “It was not ever going to be The Next Generation Part Two.” Which, sorry Michael, but Picard Season 3 is now 100% The Next Generation Part Two.
Ultimately, what Picard was missing all this time was the crew that helped make the character the icon that he is: Riker, Data, Crusher, Worf, Geordi and Troi. Because as great as Jean-Luc is, these guys are also amazing. Watch the full video for all the details on why Patrick Stewart had to be wrong for Picard Season 3 to succeed…

IGN - Star Trek: Resurgence Review
Added 39 Views / 0 LikesStar Trek: Resurgence reviewed by Will Borger on PC, also available on PlayStation and Xbox. Resurgence does an admirable job of capturing the spirit of Star Trek in a Telltale style game. The choices are almost never easy, but the lack of a morality system or any indication of what you’re “supposed” to do creates a sense of freedom to act how you imagine these characters would. #IGN #Gaming #StarTrek
