    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

      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?”

        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.
