Executive producer Akiva Goldsman comments on that potentially game-changing transformation from season 1.
But…you may remember the ending of the season finale where the consciousness of Jean-Luc Picard was transferred into the body of an artificial golem, the parietal lobe abnormality in his frail 94-year old body no longer a problem. So, technically he could leap those stairs we saw him nearly collapse after climbing in the very first episode in a single bound.
Every single element of him is potentially enhanced: super-speed, super-strength, super-intelligence…but no, the absurd solution to the ridiculous situation the writers put themselves in was…"I knew you wouldn't want to adjust to something new, not after 94 years in the same body," Soong says, conveniently explaining away thatWill this be mentioned in the new season? It is a little bit of an elephant in every room that Picard also happens to be in.
"And we really do play it that way, there are no super-secret neato cool things that happened to Picard, and at what Picard is capable of doing that are in anyway tied to his new body… we did it to sort of make a resurrection arc, but it wasn't really to create a, we’re not pressing forward with this idea of this sort of hybridization of Picard as synthetic."
In order to facilitate any catching up that might be required, here are the links to each and every episode review we ran of Season 1.
