A woman would be far more likely now Picard isn’t ‘on duty’-can’t see what the point of this series would be though, unless it’s meant to appeal to older ‘trekkies’ given the Next Gen series is over 30 years old and TOS is nearing 55 now!
My partner (a massive Trekkie) sniffed at the poster and said “I can’t see Picard with a dog”. I disagree. After everything he has seen and done, I totally get Picard having the comforting ear of a dog to voice his thoughts and memories to. Nobody else would believe him! I can’t wait for this.
