I think this is a rare case where “it was all a dream” is fine

[-] charonn0@startrek.website 16 points 11 months ago

My headcanon is that Q shifted Picard to an alternate quantum reality. Like what happened to Worf that one time.

[-] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 13 points 11 months ago

Q has made little pocket realities before that don't seem to affect the rest of the universe.

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

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 24 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] lugal@lemmy.ml 21 points 11 months ago

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?"

Ensign Picard living his best life, until he dies at Wolf-359.

Makes me think of the plot from The Office when Michael had a telemarketing job and seemed so much happier when he was one of the underlings instead of the guy at the top.

I've been in that position before. From manager to agent, and back to manager.

It was a blast, I had so much fun.
It got boring pretty quick though.

ensign picard is the nurse who died on a starship voyager commanded by captain harry kim

[-] ReplicatedSoda@startrek.website 24 points 11 months ago

This is legit horror

[-] mostNONheinous@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago

It reads like a Chief O’Brien at Work strip. Except he wouldn’t say “hey what the fuck” because he would just be so sad he couldn’t speak.

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 22 points 11 months ago

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

Hehe Kurt Russel as the lead in vanilla sky? I'd watch it.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

You know what Jack Burton always says... what the hell?

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Well, poor guy/girl is probably from a reality where Kurt Russell did play the lead in Vanilla Sky and is now having an identity crisis.

[-] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

All other people are NPCs from the perspective of one person. That's what "non-player character" means.

You're the player in your own mind, aren't you? That makes the rest of us NPCs.

I just don't see how someone else's perspective of my autonomy should cause such a crisis in me.

[-] bappity@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

mfw a version of me from an alternate universe possesses my body and begs an omnipotent god to let him out

[-] Thisfox@sopuli.xyz 5 points 11 months ago

And it works.

[-] CycloneWolf@midwest.social 6 points 11 months ago

On a related topic I wonder if Plague of Gripes ever finished that fence around his farm.

[-] Anonymousllama@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Still one of my favorite episodes, great to see actually humble for a change
