What's the life expectancy of Picard?

He's only 90ish years old in the show. Don't people in universe commonly live to be well over 100? like 120 even?

 

He's been revived, temporarily, for 20 years. Then one day, he'll simply… stop.

 

They gave him the incurable disease in 1994. They never said "irumodic syndrome" on PIC, but it's the same problem he was going to end up with no matter what.

 

I just thought the whole "we'll have you die and then bring you back in the same episode so you can live a few more years" was just ridiculous.

Precisely as long as Patrick Stewart wants (or is able) to keep doing it.

This far, no further.

 

And if the rest of the gang wants to keep going, together or on separate projects, that can be addressed then.

We hope.

 

Just because McCoy was 137 when we last saw him doesn't mean Picard has to stop at 140. For all we know, humans can go on even longer.

 

Here's hoping for a good 140 or so, but we can't depend on that.

Gods, it was gut-wrenching enough watching him die the first time...

 

Picard lives as long as Patrick Stewart lives, or as long as PS is healthy enough to act.

 

He'll keep going, and going, and going...

 

McCoy turns at least 137, and the DS9 episode "To The Death" says,

So 140 is definitely achievable in the 2360s/70s, the average probably more like 120-130 as it would be odd if Dax wished O'Brien no more years than the mean human federation citizan has.
By 2399 even the average could have been raised beyond 140 ofc.

I think Picard's mind transfer or the result of it seems quite a stretch, he got a synth body now but without any superhuman abilities and no unlimited life expectancy? Why not just have his parietal lobe or the affected part of it replaced with an artificial implant? It's something the Bynars regularly do. With his duritanium heart he had been a "cyborg" anyway, would be kind of fitting.

 

It's a few more decades, not years. Does an order of magnitude more life change your opinion or is it still ridiculous? I mean yes they could have ignored the irumodic syndrome, or mentioned that it was cured in episode 2, but then they wouldn't have been able to give him closure on Data or tease us with his death. I think it was a good way to deal with the stated brain issues, both the defect and his regret about Data.

 

I have one question. Can the golem Picard reproduce? Are his little swimmers genetically viable?

 

“Everything works”

 

Will he meet Q and it turns out he's Sheridan, waiting for him to play chess or something?

 

Indeed. Picard can't be Brian Bropied by another actor ---- impossible. I hope they don't replace him with Tom Hardy.

 

They should have created a TNG version of Picard and have him look like that permanently.
