...but I want it done in a way that makes sense. I mean. If Elnor died in the alternate past, but managed to reappear alive again in the "correct" timeline, at the end of Season 1, then so can Rios and the pre-Borg Jirati could as well. I like both the actors and their respective characters, and feel that more can be done with them.
I want the original cast of PICARD to return...
- Thread starter dswynne1
- Start date
Elnor was revived by Q, not as a side effect of universe hopping.
Rios lived out the life he wanted, as did Jurati,sort of.
And sure Jurati could return, but as the Borg Queen, of course.
And Elnor's resurrection was only made possible because Rios decided to stay in the past.
Nah. They were never meant to be anything other than placeholders.
well, of course this is the final season of PICARD. That doesn't mean the original cast can't return on another show in one fashion or another.
Which is a shame.
That boat already sailed and was torpedoed by the PICARD Producers.
I know, which is why I wish that the producers would change their minds. Eh.
Yeah the original cast is done. 7 and Picard ate from other better 89s/90s era shows so they kept them. Raffi is the last one left abd this will probably be the last time you'll see her. She can never carry a show om her own unless they decide to make her 7s first officer of the Titan but that is doubtful since a couple working that closely would go against starfleet regulations. So it's pretty much over.
That’s not true at all. There were no plans to bring back the entire TNG cast (at one time) when they started the series.
Riker and Troi were both serving on the previous Titan, despite being married
I meant as captain and first officer. It won't work. Troi was a counselor.
You'll get about half the original cast and like it!
Maybe i remember it wrongly, but wasn't Deanna supposed to be Riker's Number One on the Titan
I read somewhere that the casts already went into different casting. So if they have already have another commitment, even if the producer want them to come back, they won't.
I think the best way to think about it is the cast for Season 1 was explicitly created for Season 1 - or at least whatever rough draft of Season 1 they originally intended. Clearly in some cases (like Elnor) they already really cut back on what they intended by the time it aired.
They were already struggling to find excuses to have Picard's band of misfits together for Season 2...though I don't know why they didn't just pick up where Season 1 had left off, with them as a ragtag crew of La Sirena. Still, once they parted ways, there was really no reason to presume they'd all be thrown together. And Soji and Elnor played essentially no role in Season 2 anyway.
And I want Trip to survive somehow. Good luck.
Though Elnor, Borg Queen Jurati, and Laris could all return if there is further exploration in the 25th century. Or possibly in LD/PRO if you jump 20 years backwards.
Rios would need time travel to Earth of the past. Which has now been done by the crews of TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, and ENT. I am sure DISCO, SNW, LD, & PRO will get around to it sometime.
I have no inside knowledge, but it sure seems as a viewer that Rios may have been destined for the past from early on. The record player. Billie Holiday. Love of cigars. And the fact that he was ostensibly miserable. Maybe the writers took that & ran with it, but there were S1 hints he is a 21st century guy. Once I saw Teresa, I knew he was staying.
Ditto with Jurati. Another tortured lonely soul from jump. Who never fits in. She murders her ex-lover. She is fascinated by artificial intelligence. She is tormented. Her & Rios don't really work. Early in S2 she is also miserable. Again, maybe than just ran with what was there already, but therexare string S1 hints.
Again, the show is called Picard. Not Soji. It is about HIM. Not THEM.
S1 is about his present. His health. His issues about the Romulan rescue & leaving Starfleet. And Data's death.
S2 is about his past. His relectance to form attachments. It literally takes place in the past, just to reinforce the concept.
S3 is about his future. Where does the now retro-fitted Picard want from here.
While I admit the thought of Picard, Soji, Rios, Elnor, Seven, & Raffi bouncing about on La Sirena has some appeal, it is not true to the characters. Soji needs to be an ambassador for her people. Jurati is a scientist. Picard's cause is over for Elnor, he needs another. Ex-B's? Seven needs to decide how to proceed. And there is no natural partner for Picard 9n the ship. They accomplished the mission they signed on for.
