New Picard season 2 poster teases a character’s return from classic interstellar travel

Although his return was first teased in 2021, a new promotional poster for “Picard” Part 2, which premieres on Paramount+ in March, seems to cement John’s return De Lancie as Q symbol, an almost omnipotent being introduced in 1987 with the pilot episode “Star Trek: The Next Generation” “Encounter at Farpoint” (via Paramount + on Twitter).

This kind of plot is the familiar foundation of “Star Trek”.
