admiral janeway

Indeed, "Endgame" establishes that that Janeway didn't get home until after half a century of wandering - which means she wouldn't have been there to chat with Picard yet.

Timelines often get mangled in Trek, so perhaps this Janeway never got stranded in the Delta Quadrant... She never mentions that ordeal, after all. And she says Picard gets all the interesting stuff such as the Borg, which may mean she never faced this nemesis, not like she did in her own TV show.

Or then she's just kidding, which is more in the spirit of the scene.

Haha, yeah, I'm pretty sure she's just kidding. :lol:
 
...I just noticed I screwed up the response - it's just a quarter of a century of wandering, not fifty years. But that's already enough to rule out the Janeway that became the grey-haired time-tamperer.

Going by Janeway's "easy assignments" line, we can assume that Picard and co did absolutely nothing of note after First Contact (which wasn't really an assignment) aside from the trip to the Briar Patch (which wasn't really an assignment either, infact they were ordered to stay away in both cases).

Lets just be thankful we were spared the awful "the evil Soran and that pesky Nexus" line that was in the leaked online script.
 
Seriously though, perhaps Picard simply doesn't want to be an admiral? Janeway seems like the type who would want it. If Picard refused all attempts at promoting him, it's not so odd that Janeway would make admiral and he wouldn't.

Nah, Starfleet figured the safest place for Janeway was the Admiral's desk. She couldn't lose any more ships that way. Picard was much more responsible with their property. Well, then again, he did get two destroyed.

That's the way I've looked at it. While I think that Picard would be reluctant to accept a promotion to the admiralty, I also like to think his meeting with Kirk cemented an idea that Picard will only leave Starfleet as a captain.

"Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there, you can make a difference."
