And it's all in my head, a consequence of Patrick Stewart (and Dwight Schultz) being the only frontline Next Generation actor hired to voice Elite Force II. Could this really be what became of Picard after Nemeis's credits rolled? Still there, ageing, increasingly away from the action, all his friends gone on to other starships and strange new worlds? I do not know if a final decision had yet been made as to whether they would ever have another film at that point, but revisiting it now, a half-lost offshoot of a TV and film series that was effectively erased from fictional history by the first of the JJ Abrams Star Trek reboot movies, it's hard not to approach it as something of a coda.
