   Summary

   In the new Picard series we find out that Jean-Luc Picard has left Starfleet after the failed rescue of the Romulan people from their homeworld. Thousands of rescue ships were lost when they were attacked by rogue synths from Mars. Picard comes out of retirement to help synth sisters Dahj and Soji but remarks that he had been "waiting to die" at the chateau. What contributed to this attitude? How can Picard overcome it to focus on the mission at hand? Why do we not see Beverly Crusher, his closest friend in the series? How can a visit from Wesley Crusher help?
