Definetly getting "Voyage Home" vibes with this poster (1986 San Francisco showed up in a lot of marketing for IV but I'm not sure what city that is in the Picard poster).

A bad episode is easier to move on from than a bad arc. Originally Posted by Zero Hunter

Couldn't Q just...snap his fingers and make Picard flesh and blood again, minus the brain thing he was suffering from? I wonder if that's the first thing he'll do when they see each other, before he sets them on...whatever he has planned for everyone.

Right! And calling Book's actor "bad"?? He was one of the best characters in the season. Originally Posted by Mik

Q could also have sent Voyager home early. Originally Posted by Nate Grey

And the other characters actually got more screen time. Originally Posted by 80sbaby

In hindsight (because he travels back and forth in time), he could have also known they made it out safely, everything turned out ok, etc. Originally Posted by ChrisIII

Two different situations, though. If Q has them back on trial/some new game, Picard comes in at an advantage and Q would be making things "even". His relationship with Voyager, or rather Janeway, was entirely different. They weren't on trial but in a reversal the captain was the arbiter, and he made the offer to send them home to butter her up to rule in his favor in regards to the Q who wanted to commit suicide. Janeway rightfully didn't want to be in his debt. It then became part fascination, part "friend who always fixes your problems". And as a friend he'd respect her wishes. Q and Picard's "relationship" is more nuanced than that (or arguably worse), a deity and his favorite "toy". Originally Posted by ChrisIII
Now, the writers could ignore it, too, but we have new writers/a new showrunner who may (I stress may) not want to deal with that and this is the perfect way to do away with it. IF they choose to.
I think the balance they were trying to strike with Q (until the Voyager eps anyway) was that he's not evil in the traditional sense of the word, but at the same time has no moral center either. He's self serving, and from that can come good deeds, but from that also came his desire to put humanity on trial. "The trial never ends." He's really a slightly less juvenile Trelane.

The only thing I'd like to see undone when the timeline is restored is Riker and Troi's son's death. Out of everything in Picard s1, that seemed the most gratuitous suffering. It was worse than offing the vineyard Picards in Generations.

I really liked Book and it's actor but the character's potential was hindered by bad writing. Originally Posted by 80sbaby
