Patrick Stewart was just on ABC's 'The View' today and he asked Whoopi Goldberg to reprise her role as Guinan in a second season of 'Picard'. She said yes, obviously.
Yikes at that bridge. And why is that dude sitting in Picards chair?
Just saw that. She's stuck in that time stream thingy from the movie so they can do all sorts of things with that.
Are you talking about the ship? I don't mind it. It's a smaller ship than most Trek shows have been based around, and the open back is different to what we're used to. Reminds me a little of The Expanse. It wouldn't make sense for the show to have him back in the luxury showroom style bridges of old, let's see if this suits the story they're trying to tell here.
I like Picard's space cardigan. Not sure about the bridge; hopefully it looks better on screen. That image looks like they're playing Star Trek Bridge Crew.
When has an Entertainment Weekly cover/set photo not looked terrible?

You're gonna get Picard fighting the Borg using spaceship hands and you're gonna like it, young man.
That dude is, presumably, the captain.
Picard is retired and hasn't commanded a ship for many years. Whatever that ship is (and it's clearly not a standard Starfleet ship), he won't be in command of it. He may have overall command of the mission, but that doesn't automatically make him captain of the ship (in the same way that in TNG, visiting admirals don't get to issue commands to the helm or engineering).
Its the latter but people are being fooled into thinking its the former

It's not Picard's ship. One of the very first things they said about this show is that Picard is not the captain.
Hopefully he gets his own ship down the road. Maybe that Galaxy class even?

lol people are going to be in for a shock with Picard. It is going to be Luke in TLJ all over again.
It ain't CBS's fault at least, they've been very, very clear that this show is not TNG 2 or another Discovery.
Picard has done more in the trailers than Luke in the entire ST. Nae bother.
Well, at least there won't be hundreds of threads in ERA complaining about Jean-Luc or the new direction of Star Trek... I hope.
I'm in the camp that doesn't mind, and to an extent prefers, weekly drops. Netflix has their model, and it works for hard splash engagement at the front end, but I feel the cultural impact of many of their shows would work better if there was weekly
Yay!!!! More Guinan is always great, though it obviously won't be a huge role I'm sure.
And yes, in the last teaser I noticed the LCARS screens in the background! Happy to have a callback to that.

Christ, that might be more apt than I care for
Yeah, my first reaction similarly, was Okudagrams
It looks like something you would see on Discovery.
Which, fine, I don't mind the Discovery design for Discovery, but the look should reflect that this is 150 years in the future...
That would be amazing, Guinan was in some of best parts of TNG. Loved that he and Whoopi started tearing up.
Kind of intrigued by this comment. Your usage of "people are being fooled" suggests that you think people are being actively misled. Do you think that's the case? I do think some people are getting the impression that this show will be something similar to TNG when it really won't be, but I also don't think that's intentional. Most of what's been shown from this series is quite different to TNG.
Do you really want that though? I generally don't think that there should be a career path that goes Starfleet Captain -> Starfleet Admiral -> Retired wine-maker -> Starfleet Captain again, and we've seen more of Picard captaining a starship than anyone else.
Weirder things have happened in Star Trek, so....maybe it can happen here too. Starfleet demoted Kirk from Admiral to Captain specifically so he could captain starships again. That was a huge plot contrivance though, and anything like that happening to Picard would be another one.
Can't rule it out, because that wouldn't even be the first time someone got a Federation starship that way.
Maintenance would be a bit of a problem though. They'd have to recruit lots of people very fast, unless they wanted to be taking care of 10 decks each.
Isn't Whoopi Goldberg too old to reprise her role? Her species lives for several hundred years and Guinan hasn't visibly aged from the 19th century to the 24th century. But when she appears in this show she will have aged as much as Picard.
So Picard is retired and the he and the Starfleet are likely at odds at this point. That much is a given. But there's no way we're not seeing the Enterprise, right?
Thank you for letting me know, what a beautiful moment.
I would have no problem thinking this is just the point in her life when she started to show it more. Problems like these are only actually problems when fans let themselves believe they are. We know it's a show and actors age. Sometimes you just accept stuff and enjoy it.
