By the conclusion of Star Trek: Picard season 3, Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) has grown into a different man than he was at the beginning of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Fundamentally he remains the same Jean-Luc Picard, but age and time have changed the way he views the world. In TNG, Picard is the quintessential Starfleet captain, always striving to uphold the laws of the Federation and do the right thing. In Picard, Jean-Luc has lost some of his faith in Starfleet as an organization, instead choosing to place his trust in people.
Star Trek: Picard seasons 1 and 2 give Jean-Luc the chance to work through his history with Starfleet and his childhood trauma before he reunites with his old USS Enterprise-D crew in Picard season 3. Picard season 3 sees Jean-Luc's story come full circle, as he returns to the captain's chair on the Enterprise-D and confronts the Borg head-on. Over the course of TNG's 7 seasons and 4 films, Picard encountered dangerous aliens who took over his mind, was assimilated by the Borg, and experienced numerous other potentially traumatic events. With everything he has been through, it's no surprise that Picard has grown and changed over time. Here are 7 ways Jean-Luc Picard changed from Star Trek: The Next Generation to Star Trek Picard season 3.
