Here is my new idea for a post-nemesis show.
It takes place fifty years after the events of Nemesis. The pilot would establish the show in this way.
1. Picard is dead. But at the start of our show, Q, Delanci Q, brings Picard’s soul back from where ever it went. Q informs Picard that the Continuum’s civil war is over. And that, from this point on, all past Q will be retired. But before Q can be ‘retired’, all his past mistakes, and there are many, have to be smoothed over. So, he informs Picard that Picard’s son, who Picard fathered AFTER nemesis, has been chosen by Q to revisit the places or events in time where Q erred, and fix them.
2. This young Picard has many issues with his dead father; that were never resolved. As the series progressed we will learn that Picard died when he and his son were estranged. And it will become apparent that Q isn’t only doing this to help him get promoted, but also to let Picard smooth over the rough edges of his relationship with his son.
3. The writers of this show would have to come up with interesting, sometimes serious, sometimes funny, or sad, things that Q did and find a way to interject this young Picard into to help fix. Could be a point in the past, or present, who knows. But as it goes on, Picard realizes, eventually, that it seems as if Q is just stretching it out so Picard and his son can come to some kind of understanding.
4. The show would not need Patrick Stewart all the time. Maybe five times out of the year he could come back. And since he is doing British TV again, I think he could be lured back to America to film a sequence here and there, or heck, film them over there.
That’s my new idea…Q-demption

Could work. To me, seems like Q-demption would work better on HBO or SHOWTIME as there writers/producers/directors would probably have more freedom. Then later A&E, TNT, regular networks could show reruns ala Sopranos.
That's a great thing as I love/miss REAPER. IMO it was the best new show of the Fall 2007/Spring 2008 TV season.
