Meanwhile, Star Trek just really let the franchises go to whoever will pay them some money, don't they? I mean, that kind of approach makes sense with something like Batman, because that guy is awesome no matter who is standing next to him. But Picard is only awesome in the context of Star Trek... put him in a story next to Wolverine and now he's just an old, bald guy that likes tea.

I'm inclined to agree with you, but in Picards case I think he just needs a ship to be awesome. It doesn't really matter what type. I mean throw him on an aircraft carrier or a tall ship and he rocks again.

I dunno, I think Picard's BA levels don't come from physical ability. He's not James Bond, or a muscle bound Lumberjack who's been mutated into a walking human cuisinart. He used to be that guy, but he's a bamf in his greying years, He's made klingons back down on the sheer force of will, brokered more peace treaties, in the middle of shooting wars then any of us have had nervous first dates.

Did you guys see Patrick Stewart on the Daily Show a while back? Freaking hilarious.

Also the guy hasn't AGED. Like seriously watch the first episode of TNG (encounter at fairpoint) and then find the most recent photo of Sir Patrick you can find via google. Except for wearing a beard at one point the man hasn't changed at all.
