Why It Doesn’t Matter That Star Trek: Picard Turned Jean-Luc Into An Android
Picard’s Android Body Does Not Alter His Star Trek Legacy.
Ultimately , it does not weigh thatStar Trek : Picardgave Jean - Luc a synthetic android body . Although an android body could theoretically allow Picard to live indefinitely , the finicky body he received will age and dieas Picard in the beginning would have . Aside from the fact that he no longer has Borg DNA and presumably will not ever get unbalanced , very little has exchange about Picard in any way that matters . He does not seem to have enhance durability or any other ability androids often have , and his mind remain fully intact .
Jean - Luc ’s synthetical body is indistinguishable from his human one , meaning it ultimately does n’t modify hisStar Trekstory .
The fact that Picard is an android has very little shock on his tale inStar Trek : Picardseasons 2 or 3 ( aside from the Changeling / Borg game involving his organic body).Jean - Luc remains the same man he would have beenin his human body . It’sData ’s ( Brent Spiner ) new mechanical man bodythat steal the show in time of year 3 , as he lastly has the chance to experience organic human emotions . With the advances in aesculapian and cybernetic technology inStar Trek : Picard , Jean - Luc ’s synthetic physical structure is indistinguishable from his human one , meaning it ultimately does n’t alter hisStar Trekstory .
