Holy shit, was this a real episode? Anyone got the Season Episode and Title handy? I know at least a few of you nerds do
Yeah I’ve actually thought about this.
Like… did Q just re-create existence around him? Or did he pluck Prime Picards consciousness and dump it into the body of Beta Picard? I like to think it’s the latter with Beta Picard in the background just like “Wait… what? What’s happening?” and then Q and Picard fuck off leaving this poor dude to desperately rely on therapy for the next couple years.
We need a Lower Decks style series about this ensign Picard. Lower Decks style as in it’s not about the captain but the lower decks
So like the episode of TNG titled “Lower Decks” and not the series titled “Lower Decks?”
I just want to see how happy and relaxed Ensign Picard is. No critical decisions to make. Able to make friends among the crew without his rank getting in the way.
We get to see Captain Picard in Ensign Picard’s body, but we never get to see the slacker who has big dreams but doesn’t bother to push himself.
What we don’t see in the episode is that Q does the same thing to ensign Picard and he is like: “This sad and lonely fellow would be me if I sacrificed everything for my career?”
This is legit horror
