My head cannon is now that Picard is an absolute psychopath but also a strategic genius, so they have a psychic assigned to him to bolster his humanity. Just holding him in reserve in case there is a scenario where they need the next ghengis khan to bring the galaxy to its knees
Why do you think he was such a threat as Locutus?
I just have this vision of a window looking over the SF bay, and a dude in a suit whispering into a communicator “Cry havoc, and let slip the Picard of war”
Tactical genius too. Invented his own combat maneuver that is supposedly unbeatable. Weird that nobody else seems to use it.
It was defeated by a tractor beam and shield strength focused on the only place the ship could fire at. But that's only because they knew it was coming.
YES!!!
The number of battles where it was not used throughout the series is mind boggling
Once! Could we have not seen it once?!!?
Well if they ALL could use it, it wouldn’t be the Picard maneuver
Or some other Khan
I imagine a fantasy kingdom, that due to a civil war, they decided to have 2 kings, one from each side. they are tethered by death, when one dies the other is executed, they share palace and have to govern together, sharing equal power. and it often results on one of them being a violent warlord and the other a pacifist.
Listen i love your head cannon, but I gotta ask as a casual fan, when did you get the idea hes a psycho? Ill admit im Picard biased because next gen was my first, and the way he pronounces the word "civilization ". But I did always think he was one of the calmer ST captains.
That’s the joke, Troy is using her psychic powers to keep him calm, that’s why she has a seat next to his in the bridge, to stop him from freaking out and shooting every ship he sees
Enders game style.
But one thing is for sure, Picard has no head cannon.
