Ha! They're both British, though.
I meant novelist David Mitchell, author of Could Atlas, The Thousand Autumns of Jacob De Zoet, Ghostwritten, etc.
Not David Mitchel from Mitchell and Webb - but didn't they guest star in an episode of Doctor Who? I'd been down with both Mitchell's combining their talents for an episode of Star Trek.
Oh god help me I know what I want from this project.
Michael Chabon show-running a series about the wistful, bittersweet comedic adventures of John-Luc Picard retired from Starfleet and freshly divorced from Doctor Beverly Crusher, who teams back up with Vash after running into her on Risa for some quasi-legal archeological adventures.
A show where Picard finally cuts loose (a little). Where the Trek-y sci-fi problems of the week are really just an excuse for him to evaluate his life and its choices (and, ultimately mostly reaffirm all the stick-up-the-Jeffries Tube high-minded ethics that are inseparably part of his character). But he has a bit of fun in the process.
Make this so!
(not that anyone would)

I think we are all ignoring a better question: Will he get pockets?
Why would he need pockets? The Federation doesn’t use money and they sure as Hell don’t lock anything, so he don’t got keys.

The final scene for Picard will be him lieing on bed after a nice evening meal spent with a bajoran family he and Data helped out a bit. Suddenly memories distorted by his Irumodic Syndrome are coming back, how he made the fatal decision that destroyed the Enterprise E and killed many of its crew, the first big flare of the syndrome. He believes he's seeing Data entering his room, and he says: "I think I was not happy like this in many years. But I didn't deserve this. Not after what I did. All those dead people. They trusted me... What have I done, Data?" Then Data pulls out a mek'leth, and stabs Picard in his artificial heart. It's not Data - it's Lore, avenging the many years he spend deactivated in Maddox' Lab...
Breath Mints? “Kirk-strength” Federation issued condoms? Tin of coco butter head wax? A couple bags of Earl Grey Tea? AARP card? FedEx (Federation Express) Card for use when traveling outside the Federation? The odd bar of gold pressed latinum for places that don’t take FedEx?
Cheap Sunglasses?

Try new Trojan: Orions!
Now I need to see Picard in a pair of cheep sunglasses. Like he's about to warp into a high-concept frat comedy from the 1980s.
“Yo, Jean-Luc! See that hot Bajoran shredding that dune on her dirt bike? You should TOTALY take her to the 10 Forward Klingon Kegger this weekend!”
“Whooooaaaaa...I think I shall make it so!”
