Patrick Stewart to return as Picard in new Star Trek series
- Thread starter Spectromixer
- Start date
I wonder how many, if any of the old cast will be returning for this. I hope Riker and Data at least show up as they were some of the closest to Picard.
I would also love for Wil Wheaton to be a part of this as Wesley Crusher again. He deserves it after getting undeserved shit for all these years.

Yep, scrapped my night gaming plans and grabbed my blu-rays.
make a topic, let's all watch some episodes together. Like I said, I just started Inner Light.
Oh wow, really?
I've only seen a fair amount of original series, and the first half of Discovery season 1 so far.
Just Googled it - looks like Discovery takes place 10 years before O.G. Trek.
Hopefully he's gonna use this as the bully pulpit to address social issues that some nerds have forgotten TNG tried to talk about
(TNG also had gigantic failures like that one episode)

The follow up episode where he reveals to that woman he falls in love with what happened to him and they bond over the music is also awesome but rarely gets mentioned. I liked it, because something like Inner light would honestly change a person forever and it would have been bizarre if the show never referenced it again.
I'm glad that piece of shit Nemesis won't have to be Picard's last outing. Secretly hoping this will basically be Blunt Talk in space though. "It's like the Borg all over again, Harry!", but with Data in the Harry role.
lmao planet of the black people
The show did address social issues well, just not that episode. What the show has to say about torture is effective as hell, for example.
Ohhhh it's going to be great when they do just that and those same nerds decry the show for being too "SJW"
Brand new 4K TV, and I'm spending the day watching blurry television from the late 80's. God I love TNG.
The show that's on Netflix Canada is the remaster? Cool. Thanks
Is this the collection for the remaster? https://www.amazon.ca/Star-Trek-Generation-Complete-Blu-ray/dp/B01BP146SY/
If we're being super-duper technical, 2002's Star Trek Nemesis is set after Voyager and DS9 too.
But yeah, this is the first canon Trek material set after TNG/DS9/VOY since then.
also, teeeeechnically the last episode of TNG takes place after DS9 and Voyager, and is still canon, it's just erased from history. But it did happen.
Star Trek: The Last Generation trailer will feature the Johnny Cash cover of "Hurt".
Also, from what I remember reading, this originally would have been considered impossible because CBS wanted nothing to do with the old universe after the new movies. I'm guessing Discovery has done well enough that they're willing to greenlight the OGverse for more content. I know other TNG cast members have been trying to get OGverse stuff greenlit.
one of my favorite endings to anything ever
What a perfect end to an awesome series. I love that it's pretty much the only time in the entire run of TNG that the stakes get up to "save all of humanity and the entire galaxy" levels. And it's old-ass picard, whom everybody doubts, who saves everyone using reason and logic.
For all people may hate on Discovery, rightly or wrongly, it is allowing for things like this. I'm so fucking happy right now.
I woke up today to an Altered Beast Sega PCB being delivered to my door and word that my 4K tv was down the street. Said to myself, "today is gonna be a good day."
Yes, yes it is.
MCN, I am increasingly convinced you and I are the same person
My happiness is...
It's intense right now
Given that it was pitched by a Discovery writers and partially staffed by Discovery folks, yeah, that's probably the best takeaway.
I'm giggling to myself, and there are tears in my eyes. This is all I have ever wanted.
I wonder if they'll call any of the old TNG/DS9/VOY writers in for this, like Ron Moore. I know Joe Menosky did an episode for Discovery but he exited the writing staff afterward, which is a bit of a bummer. That man's crazy episodes are either really good or really bad, but either way they're exciting.
Like I just want to scream this from the rooftops (particularly to the "I hope they don't TLJ-fy him" folks):
It's probably not going to be the thing you want

Despite not liking it at all, I'll give Disc credit for revitalizing the Prime Universe. Though I hope it ends with it getting timey-wimeyed out of existence because it makes no sense in canon.
I feel like I'm pretty fortunate as a Trek fan because my enjoyment is pretty diverse and I like every show (to varying extents)
Even if this is like hardline jaded-as-fuck Picard in a more action-centric environment, while that'd be a waste in some key regards, I bet I'll still like it
Just think if this does well after 25 years of trying we might finally get a Captain Worf show lol
