I just want to see how happy and relaxed Ensign Picard is. No critical decisions to make. Able to make friends among the crew without his rank getting in the way.
We get to see Captain Picard in Ensign Picard’s body, but we never get to see the slacker who has big dreams but doesn’t bother to push himself.
Makes me think of the plot from The Office when Michael had a telemarketing job and seemed so much happier when he was one of the underlings instead of the guy at the top.
What we don’t see in the episode is that Q does the same thing to ensign Picard and he is like: “This sad and lonely fellow would be me if I sacrificed everything for my career?”
I’m picturing Data showing McCoy around the Enterprise-D in Encounter at Farpoint- “where’s your bowling alley, boy?” “We do not have a bowling alley here, sir. But we have a holodeck that can simulate a bowling al-” “I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT MIXED-UP MOLECULES! Where’s the bowling alley? This is the Enterprise, boy!”
You throw a rock, I throw a spear. You throw a spear, I fire a laser. You fire a laser, I personally beam onto the bridge and single handily kill your crew.
