PIC Season 2

With Star Trek: Picard, I understood, because season 1 premiered immediately before the COVID-19 pandemic began and season 2 came out in 2022. But with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, you'd think that they'd have mastered all the technology to make all the visuals as realistic as possible, assuming that these darn strikes haven't delayed it any further. I'm just shocked, that's all I'm saying.

With the reformed Borg Collective and Starfleet's vessels harmonizing their respective deflector shields together to fend off the neutrino beam from the mysterious transwarp conduit, and Jurati's Borg Queen requesting provisional membership to monitor it, it kinda makes one wonder who's on its other side. While it was great to see The Next Generation crew reunite and work alongside both Seven of Nine and Raffi Musiker, a small part of me was kind of somewhat disappointed that season 3 didn't at all delve into the nature of the conduit and who built it. Because Borg Agnes believed the conduit to constitute a potential threat, it made me scratch my head wondering who or what it could be, and what its ramifications could be. If anything, I'd like to see the potential Star Trek: Legacy series delve into it since season 3 of Picard did not.

For a brief moment in 2401, Admiral Jean-Luc Picard is Chancellor of Starfleet Academy (“The Star Gazer”, PIC 2x1; Picard is offered the post of Commandant of the Academy in 2364 [“Coming of Age”, TNG 1x19], but turns it down).

Then the whole Borg/Q/Supervisor/Traveler time travel to 2024 happens…

But when that is all sorted out, we do not see Jean-Luc Picard return to this posting. What happened?

Did the time travel create a new timeline wherein Picard was never Chancellor? Did he not go back for personal and/or professional reasons? Did he resume this posting, but we have not seen it (yet)? I feel Jean-Luc would be an excellent Chancellor for the Academy.

I don't know if anyone's trying to make any of the overdue edits or updates for all that were involved in season 2 of Star Trek: Picard, but since the article for its soundtrack album still isn't up yet, here's its front cover.
