It is bold, though, of Star Trek to present this show as a reunion and a comeback when the franchise has only occasionally stopped for breath since Patrick Stewart’s first appearance. Those Last Jedi comparisons are obvious: here is one of the most famous characters in science fiction, a character known for his hope and virtue, who is now feeling lost, disenchanted, and alone.Īll the same, the special boy is back and it’s hard to begrudge fans who take pleasure in that simple joy. The retired Starfleet admiral has escaped his previous life, but he has made a series of terrible errors since we last saw him and is now moping in an idyllic landscape. Not so Picard is miserable and marking time. You’d be forgiven if you looked at the gorgeous imagery, the saturated greens, and thought that this was escapism. Star Trek: Picard begins in a French vineyard.
