You don't have to watch it. I for one, am really looking forward to it, and so I'll watch it.

Yea. I watched another recent interview of him on this topic and was sad. When he made the initial announcement he seemed like he had the vitality to do it but now, I'm not so sure.

He moved to England very young and was educated there. Yes, it is mentioned in an episode of Star Trek. I think it was this one - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_(Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation)

"On the grass."

+ZipplyZane true I was only young when I watched it the first time but researching it ,it doesn't seem to extreme. Maybe in 20 years I 'll think discovery is a masterpiece too

And TNG was the most SJW of them. It's even remembered for being a bit preachy. And PIcard was a full on SJW. That's why we liked him. It's so bizarre what has happened in the intervening time.

Star Trek was always a bit SJWish. Almost say the original one.

+CRS1964 👏

"Who loves ya baby"...

+Khy Maaren TLJ got so many "fans" in to a froth because 'their' story didn't go the way they wanted and 'their' character(s) did something those "fans" didn't want. (I mean personally I thought that having an important character go through traumatic events, become disillusioned, be shown a better future path, help save his friends and then ascend to a higher plane of Force-ness......was a pretty good story arc. But I understand that no one is allowed to like the film.)

+T Electronix They are in the minority. A very vocal and angry one, but a minority nonetheless. It's never a good idea to go into a movie theatre with hardwired expectations about the contents of the film you are about to see. You are more than likely setting yourself up for disappointment that way. This is what happened with TLJ and Star Trek Discovery, as well.

Yeah, and the seemingly endless horror of "fans" hating a film to the extent that years later they cannot let it go. Hopefully Stewart will be saved from all that.

star trek is founded on optemism across the board, unlike star wars which dwells in darkness far more often. Last jedi has a purpose, i doubt star trek needs that angle. That's not what TNG was about

Whilst a Last Jedi kind of deal is very likely to not happen because Stewart has creative control unlike Hamill, it HAS been nearly 20 years which tends to add at least some level of cynicism. As long as he remains a softie at heart and doesn't try to kill kids in their sleep, I think we can have a few grumpy "kids nowadays" lines.

...yes...

Would have instantly surrendered the second Q appeared.

Ricco123tube grow up

Funny guy

+nanny fc All the more reason to keep out of foreign affairs then.

+T Electronix There's nothing clever about it at all, they're just facts which you seem to lack in your replies. Are you actually a UK citizen?

+stephenb1962 And so......most people did not vote Leave. I get that you thought that last reply of yours was terribly clever but you miss the point.

+T Electronix Definition of most: 1 : greatest in quantity, extent, or degree the most ability Thus, a definition of most is 'the greatest quantity' which is a majority, therefore best stick with 'majority' and stop all this bandying around with semantics. Leave won a binary vote to leave the EU, 17,410,742 (51.9%) are the majority. Any mucking around with petty words will get you no where so why don't you accept it and get on with your life.

+stephenb1962 "Thus"...most people did not vote Leave. It's not complicated.

That's what I am afraid of.

...yes...

+Paul McCloud I'm sure being one of the executive producers does give Sir Patrick some say in how Picard is portrayed. 🙂

I'd like to think Patrick Stewart would veto anything that damages the character. But we'll see.

-we will- I will

"Amen".

+Indy21 Well, thankfully, he wasn't trying to sell himself as a Frenchman on vacation. And it worked as a comedy bit. The rest is fluff.

+Khy Maaren """slightly""" indeed. Basically, it's a catastrophe. French, German, or anything else.

To you, maybe. To me, it sounded like an Englishman doing a 'slightly' over-the-top French accent.

I'm from Germany and nope, it doesn't. :p

Merovingian, I thought.

Are you *beeep* kidding me? Or were you being humorous? Because that was the worst accent ever. With all due respect to Sir Stewart aka Beef Stew, he butchered the french. It's only an exaggerated version of the huuuuge cliché of "french" accent. Hopefully this doesn't include french speakers from other countries.

Zis iz troo mon ami.

It has a strong British accent.

And away we go

+Titus Veridius Oh yes, Titus-- I meant CMDR/CPT exactly how you explained, thanks-- I'd give the new Picard show a whirl well before I would delve into Discovery or the next JJ-verse movie. If for no other reason than Patrick Stewart. He already helped revive the franchise once!

+Kurt K By the very definition of the rank structure a CMDR and CPT are not on par. The only sense that is really correct is that as a CMDR in command of the station he has similar judicial and command responsibilities over his station, just as a CPT would his ship. I'm hesitant about the Picard show. All these attempts to carry on old franchises have been sucking major balls.

oop-- saw someone already said it.

Pretty much what I've heard, except replace "mad as a bag of hammers" with "constantly baked out of his gourd".

RandyPantheGoatBoy Avery Brooks probably wouldn’t do it because he’s mad as a bag of hammers these days. Also busy teaching I heard.

I think he must have the number wrong, is all. It would 17 years from the debut of Nemesis if the show starts in December 2019. If they start filming in March or April, it would have been 17 years since he last wore his uniform, as filming for Nemesis ended in March 2002.

MasterSandman DS9 ended 20 years ago, he had a cameo during TNGs run.

He said for a tv-series! And I believe he had a cameo in either DS9 or Voyager after TNG had ended!

Maybe by the time it actually comes out, it will have been 19 years since Nemesis. Just a guess...

Indeed

Hell yeah

Schnitzengruben Its a done deal.

I don’t understand ... whythey didn’t use it? 🤔 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

They didn't use it! XD

+Santtu Valtteri ?

+John H Baumgaertner That is the only way. Well, I can understand the disappointment if a long-awaited new series isn't to one's liking. Better luck next time.

You have to announce your disdain for Discovery or all the cool boys won't invite you when they do fun things like go to the mall and make fun of the stupid girls as they walk by.

+Santtu Valtteri You've got it exactly. And you must bring it up in comments/conversations that are not about that series, just to say that you don't like it.

+Max Flynn STD is exactly what it sounds like, a disease that needs to be removed

Sigh. You didn't like a series, that's your choice but lay off the hyperbole.

Michael Ellis Yes but not as insane as now. But the same tribe have written every script since the 1960’s which explains the so called progressive politics and it’s every increasing insanity

+suzawilo Geezus Buddha. Relax. I was just trying to make the point that people on the internet lack nuances. People have a tendency to have very extreme opinions on the internet. And what the hell is even a millennium anymore? You can be a millennium and be born in 82. I am 30. Star Trek has always been a "SJW" show, and I like it for that. You are clearly missing my point about nuances.

+Haagen Neldeberg Modern SJW's....? Hahhahahah😂 You must be a sad little millennial boy. Feminists haven't been called SJW's before. It's only the internet era that does that. So maybe get off your gaming chair and go out into the world (may I suggest a thing called library, you know where books live) to educate yourself ☝️

Yes, honestly modern SJWs can be a frustrating lot, because the most vocal of them are very extreme and often irrational. But you can easily say the same thing about the people that tries to be as a anti SJWs as possible. It's like people have forgotten about nuances.

He looks his age tbh

Corey Dailey he didnt age gracefully hes looked 70 for the last 30+ years, i love patrick stewart but he lost his hair young and has looked like a senior citizen since he was middle age

I wouldnt say its cash. Id say its because hes an emotionally healthy and balanced man who spent his life doing what he loved, so he has aged quite gracefully.

Yes. It was on Risa.

is that a joke? That's what fifty looks like for you? Do you live in Somalia where they don't get older than 50?

he does look quite old these days actually its the lack of hair (which would have turned grey) that makes him seem like he hasn't aged as much as his peers

watch out boys, sharp edge

Calm down, let the acid run it's course. Then come back to us ;)

shut up Meg !
