How would you kill off Jean-Luc Picard?

[Computer]

First off let me just say for the record Stewart is perhaps my most admired Trek actor and as such I always felt (after Nemesis) the character Jean-Luc Picard deserved a worthy goodbye at some point some where. Would you have him retire and die of old age or would he go out in a fit of glory?

So my fellow TNGers, what would be a fitting end to our beloved Captain, something fitting of his stature and reputation?

The best two ways to kill him off:

1) The same way he died in "Yesterday's Enterprise". Damn that was awesome.

2) In BOBW Part II when they destroy the Cube in the end, the shock of being ripped from the Collective kills him so its a bittersweet ending.

Going down with the ship. It's the only way.

I don't think he would do that with the lovely Enterprise E....the ship is too lovable to be destroyed that soon when the ship has only been in service around 12 years now....hmmm, that just gave me an idea for a thread to make lol

Retire would the only option he would do and take over the vineards in France...was it stated that he would do that when he retire from starfleet since now his Brother and Nephew have died in the fire?

I'd have him fall off a bridge

Well someone had to say it. . .

[Whoa Nellie]

While on an archaeology dig, plundering Vash's treasures; death by jamaharon.



Warmest Wishes,

Nice one, Whoa Nellie! Let him save the day...and then go down with the ship like any captain.

He falls to his death on a metal walkway. No, hold on, that's a shit way to kill off a great Captain.....

Fighting a dragon. Then he kills the dragon. But by killing the dragon he'd be so manly that he'd explode from testosterone overload!!

 

[GalaxyX]

Wouldn't kill him off. That stupid artificial way of bringing out "emotion" is beating a dead horse.

 

[Finn]

He doesn't. Moments before death in his 150s, Q pulls a Bill Murray so Picard repeats his entire life again and again so Q can bug him for eternity.

 

[Forbin]

Out of nowhere, and old enemy we've never seen before walks past him at a starbase, pulls out a remote control device and casually presses a button that instantly turns off Picard's artificial heart, then walks off whistling a jaunty tune.

 

[2of1million]

Poison his earl grey.

 

[K-Star]

If anything he should go down with his ship.

 

[RoJoHen]

He donates his artificial heart to a dying Naussican.

 

[Alisium]

On the bridge of the Enterprise as he, the sole person on board, crashes his ship into some kind of evil enemy who is trying to destory Earth.

The last thing we hear him say is over the ship to ship channel to the enemy commander, something to the effect, "I am Captain Jean-Luc Picard of Federation Starship Enterprise, and you will fear me!"

Yeah, fanboyish and gay....

Thanks!

I would write a ten-page speech about The Importance Of The Prime Directive, and then slip it into the bottom of a milk jar with a neck that's wide enough for Picard to put his hand in when the fingers are open but too narrow for him to get it out when he's holding on to the speech. Then, wait for him to starve.
