Jean-Luc Picard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jean-Luc Picard is a fictional character in the Star Trek franchise, most often seen as the Captain of the starship USS Enterprise-D. He appears in the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG), the feature films Star Trek Generations (1994), Star Trek: First Contact (1996), Star Trek: Insurrection (1998), and Star Trek: Nemesis (2002), and is planned to feature as the central character in an as yet untitled forthcoming Star Trek show currently in development.
Casting and design
After the success of the contemporary Star Trek feature films, a new Star Trek television series featuring a new cast was announced on October 10, 1986. Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry named Picard for one or both of the twin brothers Auguste Piccard and Jean Felix Piccard, 20th-century Swiss scientists.

STAR TREK PRODUCER HEATHER KADIN EXPLAINS HOW PICARD WILL DIFFER FROM DISCOVERY
Contributed by Josh Weiss
Oct 18, 2018
It's a very good time to be a Trekkie. Star Trek: Discovery is ramping up for a highly anticipated second season on CBS All Access; Star Trek shorts are keeping fans satiated in the meantime; the fourth reboot movie has a director; and the writers' room for the Picard spinoff series with Sir Patrick Stewart is well underway.
What more could you ask of the Federation?!
That being said, it could be easy for one to confuse all of these Trek-related projects with one another, since so many are in production and on their way to CBS's exclusive streaming service. Speaking to TrekMovie.com, Star Trek producer Heather Kardin explained how they are trying to differentiate Picard from Discovery.
"I think the one thing we can say which is more general is that it’s been a real conscious effort that every project we do have its own voice and occupy its own space," she said. "I don’t mean its own space in canon, I mean its own tonal vision. Because you shouldn’t tune in to Discovery and wonder if you flipped the channel, that it was Picard. They should feel different, they should have different messages coming from different people."
Looking to the history of Trek TV and film, it's a philosophy we've seen in the past. Sure, the golden age of Trek TV all shared a similar aesthetic, but there were distinct narrative differences between something like Deep Space Nine and Next Generation (and especially something like Enterprise). As CBS looks to rebuild the brand, what's old is new again.
Season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery premieres on January 17, 2019, whereas the Picard show is expected sometime in 2020.
From 3/16/1991 ( my first successful major test of my ultraspace matter transportation device as Kerry Wayne Burgess the successful Ph.D. graduate ) To 3/6/2020 ( --- ) is 10583 days

Encounter at Farpoint [ Star Trek: The Next Generation television series premiere episode ]
Original Airdate: Sep 28, 1987
[ Opening lines of the premiere episode of the television series ]
Captain's log, stardate 41153.7. Our destination is planet Deneb Four, beyond which lies the great unexplored mass of the galaxy. My orders are to examine Farpoint, a starbase built there by the inhabitants of that world. Meanwhile, I am becoming better acquainted with my new command, this Galaxy Class USS Enterprise. I am still somewhat in awe of its size and complexity. As for my crew, we are short in several key positions, most notably a first officer, but I am informed that a highly experienced man, one Commander William Riker, will be waiting to join our ship at our Deneb Four destination.

KAWALSKI
Doctor Jackson?
DANIEL
What? Yes?
KAWALSKI
Someone wants to speak with you.
INT—CAR
[Catherine flips through a file, which includes a diploma from UCLA, as the officer continues to talk to Daniel.]
DANIEL
The Air Force? What's this? What is this?
KAWALSKI
Could you step over to the car, please.
[Catherine glances over just as Daniel bends down and squints to look inside, while still several feet away.]
KAWALSKI
Sir?
DANIEL
Am I going somewhere?
[The car driver, also standing with an umbrella just outside the door, opens it for Daniel as he approaches.]
KAWALSKI
You're going to be fine. We'll take care of these.
[He takes Daniel's shoulder bag as Daniel cautiously drops his other suitcase and sits in the car. He warily looks at Catherine. She passes over a photograph of a smiling couple playing with a baby.]
CATHERINE
Jackson, are those your parents?
[Daniel glances from her to the photograph, his motion to lower his hood arrested for a moment.]
DANIEL
Foster parents.
[Catherine replaces the photograph and continues to look at the file.]
DANIEL
Wha-what is this all about?
CATHERINE
A job.
DANIEL
(with a nervous chuckle)
What kind of a job?
CATHERINE
Translation. Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. Interested?
[Catherine smiles at him. Daniel continues to look at her.]
DANIEL
I-I'm gonna go now.
CATHERINE
Go where?
(chuckles)
I mean, you've just been evicted from your apartment. Your grants have run out. Everything you own are in those two bags. Want to prove that your theories are right? This is your chance.
[She holds out an envelope, gesturing for him to take it. Daniel glances from her to the envelope before taking it.]
DANIEL
What's this?
CATHERINE
Travel plans.
[Daniel struggles to come up with a response, when the door opens. Daniel's still opening the envelope.]
KAWALSKI
Sir?
[Daniel looks back at Catherine, who gives him a small smile. He raises his hood again steps out of the car.]
EXT—HOTEL ENTRANCE, DAY
[The driver starts up the car while Daniel is still opening the envelope. Kawalski steps around him and gets in next to Catherine. The car drives off as Daniel looks at a plane ticket before looking back at the departing car.]

(Riker enters)
WORF: Yes sir?
RIKER: Where will I find Commander Data?
WORF: Commander Data is on special assignment, sir. He's using our shuttlecraft to transfer an admiral over to the Hood.
RIKER: An admiral?
WORF: He's been aboard all day, sir, checking over medical layout.
RIKER: Why a shuttlecraft? Why wouldn't he just beam over?
WORF: I suppose he could, sir, but the Admiral's a rather remarkable man.
[Corridor]
(A very old man in a cardigan is shuffling along. He is played by DeForrest Kelley, so of course we name this character -)
MCCOY: Have you got some reason you want my atoms scattered all over space, boy?
DATA: No sir. But at your age, sir, I thought you shouldn't have to put up with the time and trouble of a shuttlecraft.
MCCOY: Hold it right there, boy.
DATA: Sir?
MCCOY: What about my age?
DATA: Sorry, sir. If that subject troubles you
MCCOY: Troubles me? What's so damned troubling about not having died? How old do you think I am?
DATA: One hundred thirty seven years, Admiral, according to Starfleet records.
MCCOY: Explain how you remember that so exactly.
DATA: I remember every fact I am exposed to, sir.
MCCOY: I don't see any points on your ears, boy, but you sound like a Vulcan.
DATA: No, sir. I'm an android.
MCCOY: Almost as bad.
DATA: I thought it was generally accepted, sir, that Vulcans are an advanced and most honourable race.
MCCOY: They are, they are. And damned annoying at times.
DATA: Yes, sir.
MCCOY: Well, this is a new ship, but she's got the right name. Now you remember that, you hear.
DATA: I will, sir.
MCCOY: You treat her like a lady, and she'll always bring you home.

New 'Trek' Is On The Launch Pad
October 11, 1986 MORGAN GENDEL Times Staff Writer
An all-new "Star Trek" series set a century ahead of the original NBC show will make its way to the home screen next September, when "Star Trek: The Next Generation" begins syndicated broadcast.
"Star Trek" series creator Gene Roddenberry will serve as executive producer of the show, which will feature an all-new cast.
Paramount Television Group officially announced the new "Star Trek" series Friday morning after months of speculation. The series, which begins production next year, will launch with a two-hour TV movie to be followed by 24 hourlong episodes during the 1987-88 season.
But Trekkies beware: Most of the elements of the 1966-69 television series or the four movies it inspired will be gone. There may not even be a spaceship of any kind, let alone the Enterprise, which was destroyed in the last film, "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock."
"I'm now blue-sky on everything," said Roddenberry, whose return to hands-on involvement was central to Paramount's plans. Roddenberry noted that 100 years beyond the original series' setting "people might travel by some means other than spaceship." He conceded, however, that "I probably will end up using something like the Enterprise."
The same wide-open future also could hold the possibility for guest visits by some of the original crew, which included William Shatner as Capt. James Kirk, Leonard Nimoy as the Vulcan Mr. Spock and DeForest Kelley as Dr. Leonard McCoy. "I'm not planning that but I'm pleased that the door's not closed," Roddenberry said. "In science fiction, you can never really close the door on anything."
There is no cast as yet for "Star Trek: The Next Generation," part of the twist that helped the series get a green light. Paramount had held back from producing a new "Star Trek" TV effort partially from fear that it would hurt the box office potential of the "Star Trek" films. The latest, "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home," opens Nov. 26.
But Mel Harris, president of Paramount Television Group, said that issue is no longer a concern, since "The Next Generation" is not "going with the same players and the same venue" as the motion pictures.
With reruns of "Star Trek's" original 79 episodes maintaining their popularity--and now seen in syndication on 145 independent stations--all three major networks had expressed interest in a reborne series, Harris said. Most recently, the Fox Broadcasting Co. aggressively sought a new "Star Trek" series for the prime-time lineup it is putting together for its new network of independent stations.
But Paramount decided to bypass all networks. Instead, it will distribute the series itself to the same stations currently running the old "Star Trek" reruns.
"We decided, in the final analysis, after an 18-month gestation period, that because this is a 20-year legacy of Paramount's, nobody is going to give it the same degree of attention and tender loving care than we will," Harris said.
Too, the sophistication of independent stations, both in terms of scheduling and promotion, means that Paramount can effectively attract a large audience without having to share the resulting advertising revenue with a network.
Paramount also wanted creative control and needed to offer a guarantee of freedom to Roddenberry before he would become involved. As creator, Roddenberry contractually would have to approve a new series, he said, but beyond that "Paramount doesn't want to and the fans don't want to" have a new series without his stamp.
That was why Roddenberry has waited 20 years from "Star Trek's" first airing to work on a new version of the series.
"In the past, all of the talk about a new television show was an exact retread of the old one," he said. " 'Get another guy who looks like a Vulcan, get a guy who looks like Kirk.'
"This time, it is more of a challenge. There are things you've done in the past that you wouldn't do again."
Roddenberry said that the former Paramount regime led by Barry Diller was a stumbling block to bringing back the show. Diller spearheaded attempts at a new "Star Trek" series while at Paramount and after moving to 20th Century Fox, where he started the FBC network.
Diller wanted a "retread," Roddenberry said, and wasn't receptive to his ideas. "I'm talent and some people don't talk to talent," he said when asked about his relationship with Diller regarding "Star Trek."
Only four weeks ago, Roddenberry said, Paramount gave him the new challenge to create a totally new environment for a reborne "Star Trek."
For Roddenberry, that once again means an opportunity to delve into social issues.
"I never really wanted to do a space or science show--I wanted to do a people show," he said. "The advantage of space is you can put people in all sorts of situations. It allows you to probe.
"People often forget that back in 1966, to put a multiracial crew on a ship was considered awful by network and studio officials. They said things like, 'No, you must have people smoke cigarettes, that's one of our biggest sponsors.' We were ahead of our time definitely on sexual equality."
For "The Next Generation," Roddenberry said, he again wants "to shock people."
"I want to treat the whole problem of terrorists. I don't think that's ever been treated in depth."
