They're gonna give Picard an STD.
I hope they keep the whole aesthetic more or less the same as it was on TNG and the films with the TNG cast. Instead of looking like discovery or the JJ Abrams films.
I agree PSTD is likely to be a theme. Within the last few years Stewart has done research into his own father's war history and found out a lot of context for his behavior to his family after WWII--a time when PSTD was not a recognized condition, and veterans (esp. in Britain) were expected to just suck it up. He even did a very touching series about it. I think that kind of personal relevancy would be the kind of hook needed to bring him back to the 24th century.
Reading between the lines of this quote.
"He may not, and I stress may not, be a captain anymore. He may not be the Jean-Luc that you recognize and know so well. It may be a very different individual. Someone who has been changed by his experiences. Twenty years will have past, which is more or less exactly the time between the very last movie – Nemesis – and today."
I don't know why but I feel this series may be Picard dealing with his decision to not have a family and maybe the trauma/PTSD of being assimilated and having a clone of himself.
Here’s a test.
what if he’s portrayed as a bitter old man. Long since retired, he’s given up hope on humanity and the entire galaxy. He lives alone. Probably in France.
Ensign Sue comes to learn from him, but he shuns her, because the galaxy sucks. Eventually he grudgingly gives her one (1) lesson. Then she goes off to captain the Enterprise without him.
good isn’t it?
Everyone who dislikes this idea is sexist.
I agree 100%, no dark, grim Discovery please.
We need the hopeful, optimistic aspect back in Trek that epitomises the series and sets it apart from the all the other gloomy series that seem to have infiltrated the TV landscape.

He was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO into his archeology.
That is how I totally see him spending his later years.
