Yeah I've actually thought about this.

Like... did Q just re-create existence around him? Or did he pluck Prime Picards consciousness and dump it into the body of Beta Picard? I like to think it's the latter with Beta Picard in the background just like "Wait... what? What's happening?" and then Q and Picard fuck off leaving this poor dude to desperately rely on therapy for the next couple years.

I think this is a rare case where “it was all a dream” is fine

Q has made little pocket realities before that don't seem to affect the rest of the universe.

My headcanon is that Q shifted Picard to an alternate quantum reality. Like what happened to Worf that one time.

We need a Lower Decks style series about this ensign Picard. Lower Decks style as in it's not about the captain but the lower decks

So like the episode of TNG titled "Lower Decks" and not the series titled "Lower Decks?"

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.

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?"

Ensign Picard living his best life, until he dies at Wolf-359.

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.

I've been in that position before. From manager to agent, and back to manager.

It was a blast, I had so much fun.
It got boring pretty quick though.

It reads like a Chief O’Brien at Work strip. Except he wouldn’t say “hey what the fuck” because he would just be so sad he couldn’t speak.

Holy shit, was this a real episode? Anyone got the Season Episode and Title handy? I know at least a few of you nerds do

mfw a version of me from an alternate universe possesses my body and begs an omnipotent god to let him out

On a related topic I wonder if Plague of Gripes ever finished that fence around his farm.

Still one of my favorite episodes, great to see actually humble for a change
