Intresting theories.
In the book series he still captain, married to Beverly, and is raising a young child and how that has changed him now that hes in his 80s.
What's interesting in last year Autobiography of Jean Luc Picard, shortly after nemesis, he also marries Beverly. A few years later Beverly is promoted to captain, and becomes captain of the Pasteur. Picard decides to retire from Star Fleet shortly after, rather then become an admiral, and returns to the winery. He and Beverly have a long distance marriage for years but grow apart. After a few years hes bored and is asked by the federation to become ambassador to Vulcan. They try to long distance marriage for a few more years, but Beverly doesn't want to leave star fleet, and they eventually divorce.
Im curious to see if they use any of the events from those in the new series. I could see them going with Picard becomes Federation ambassador to Vulcan following the destruction of Romulus. Has to Navigate the tough situation, and the fallout with the Roumlan star empire, and possible reunification with the Vulcans, and how this will effect the Federation. Picard is the natural bridge having mind melded with Spock, who tried to save Romulus and was pushing for unification, and Sarek a key Vulcan leader and Federation ambassador.
