Patrick Stewarthad a different idea for how he wantedStar Trek: Picardto end its run on Paramount+.
In the series finale, Stewarts Jean-Luc Picard is seen toasting with his fellow crew members.
What Id like to see at the end of the show is a content Jean-Luc.

I want to see Picard perfectly at ease with his situation.
Not anxious, not in a frenzy, not depressed.
It is dusk at Jean-Lucs vineyard.
His back is to us as he takes in the view, his dog at his side.
Then, off-screen, a womans loving voice is heard: Jean-Luc?
Is it Beverly Crushers voice?
Someone we dont know?
It isnt made clear.
But [my real-life wife] Sunny was set to record the lines.
Dusk fades to night, and Picard fades into history.
But I never got a call.
When I made a few inquiries, I kept getting put off.
Finally, someone told me, The studio doesnt want to do it.
Its too expensive and they think its unnecessary.
I thought it was crucial to the completion of Picards arc.
Either way, you now know of my original intent.
Jonathan is my first choice to direct it.
