Picard what is death

The film didn't utilize Kirk's unique talents to solve the problem Soran posed. Surprisingly, no attempt has been made to revive Shatner's legendary Captain; Kirk's death on the planet Veridian III has proven to be permanent in official Star Trek canon, although Shatner did revive his character in the Star Trek novel "The Return," which he co-wrote. Since was the last time Shatner donned his Starfleet uniform and he has no interest in playing Kirk again , Star Trek Generations will forever stand as the limp and disappointing end to James T.

Kirk's otherwise epic story. Abrams' alternate Kelvin timeline, the director killed off Kirk in Star Trek Into Darkness , which was another remake of The Wrath of Khan despite Abrams outright lying about it prior to the film's release.

Of course, Kirk's death only lasted for a few minutes of screen time and, before the film is over, Dr. McCoy Karl Urban revived the Captain, thanks to the regenerative properties of Khan's genetically engineered blood. None of this shameless trickery proved popular with Star Trek fans because it was cheap recycling that completely missed the original magic of The Wrath of Khan.

It's up to Star Trek fans to argue which of Kirk's cinematic deaths is actually worse in concept and execution, but both Shatner and Pine's versions of the Starfleet hero were ill-served by these creative failures. Thankfully, far more care was taken with Jean-Luc Picard's superior death and resurrection, and the proof is that his journeys will continue in Star Trek: Picard, while Captain Kirk's stories in both realities are at an end at least for now.

His existence offered hope to those who feared the Borg, hope that perhaps others who had been assimilated could be saved and could go on to lead lives that made a difference.

And fans do not want to forget Hugh. In the few scenes allotted to him over the course of 30 years, Jonathan Del Arco created an unforgettable character and proved that quality is far more important than quantity.

No-one could have missed the moment when Picard finally succumbed to his illness and died, but that's not what we're talking about exactly.

Following his demise, Jean-Luc ended up in a quantum afterlife of sorts where he met Data for one last heart-to-heart before the android found peace in death. Picard then woke up, resurrected in a new "golem" body created by Dr Altan Soong. With Soji's help, Agnes and the good doctor mapped out all of Picard's memories and downloaded them into this new artificial body. It's basically the same as his old one, except that pesky brain abnormality was left out this time round. Right now, it's unclear what happened to Picard's corpse, but that doesn't seem to matter, because all eyes are now on the future.

Through technological innovation, the status quo has been restored, and Picard is ready to fight the good fight again with his brand-new body in a brand new season. The new Picard we meet at the end of the episode is definitely alive, that much is true. As this series in particular has reminded us time and time again, synthetic life is truly sentient, and therefore synths like Soji deserve the same rights as any biological organism.
