Plus, with the events of Nemesis creating an alternative timeline for 2009's Star Trek which universe will he be in; Prime and JJ?
Anyways - let us all rejoice to the finest Captain ever to grace Star Fleet! 🍸
Picard is terminally depressed about the destruction of Romulus. Q comes along, like Clarence the angel in It's a Wonderful Life, and shows him an alternative universe had he not been born.
shareYou just made me think of something. This series is the first indication that TNG still exists after the JJ Abrams series of films. If the JJ alternative is now the main universe and Romulus was destroyed before Picard was born, then the events in Nemesis could never have occurred.
shareNo, the show's original so-called Prime timeline is where the destruction of Romulus by a nearby supernova happened. Ambassador Spock was vaporized in the explosion while trying a long shot scheme to stop it (or so it seems) and he's never seen again in this timeline. For some reason they refer to the JJ Abrams reality as the Kelvin timeline, not sure why. Spock ends up there and the original world of Star Trek goes on without him.
Being able to travel faster than light, they get a rescue armada to Romulus after the star explodes but ahead of the planet's death and take off as many refugees as they can. This has something to do with why Picard was drummed out of starfleet, or resigned. He apparently mounted that effort against orders.
Oh God, not Q, I hate every episode with that character in it.
