Jean-Luc Picard may be boldly going to a PetSmart in the near future, if a new Star Trek: Picard poster is anything to go by.
Revealed on Sir Patrick Stewart’s official Twitter account today, the poster depicts the decorated captain standing against the sunset. At his side is a pitbull, sitting pretty and decked out in a snazzy collar with a Starfleet insignia.
Observant Trekkies might note that Picard is standing in what looks to be a vineyard. From both this and the first teaser trailer, it’s clear that the former captain is likely overseeing wine production on a massive scale. Fans might remember this callback to Season 4, Episode 2 of The Next Generation, which dealt with Picard’s strained relationship to his brother, Robert. Robert was overseeing the family vineyard, and resented Jean-Luc for running off to join Starfleet. That bitterness resulted in a tense dynamic that eventually came to blows - not to mention a tumble into a mud puddle.
It’s unclear from both the teaser and the poster, however, if this vineyard is the same one. While it’s a safe bet, perhaps Jean-Luc has struck out on his own and continued the family business on a new plot of land. Only time will tell.
