Patrick Stewart asked about Discovery

[Relayer1]

Need a young Lt Morgan Bateson on bridge for that one just to really make things awkward.

 

[cultcross]

I think he means 'I might watch it at some point' and is answering in an indirect British thespian way. 'Cause to look' might be that he had nothing to do one Friday night.

 

[Kor]

It was his polite way of saying that he had never heard of the show until the interviewer asked him about it.

If he is referring to that he might be on Star Trek Discovery as Jean Luc Picard. Then that would explaned why there's a TOS shuttlecraft on the DS9 CBS All Access poster.

 

[Vger23]

This means nothing, folks. It simply means that he hasn't seen the show yet and might check it out if the mood strikes.

Nothing to see here. Move along!

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I would honestly rather they not have cameos from anyone prominent from any other Trek series. Even if they're another character, it's going to pull you out of the story.

I'm still wondering what's taking DSC so long to get Vaughn Armstrong on the show...he's been in every other Trek show (save TOS), so why not this one?

If he is referring to that he might be on Star Trek Discovery as Jean Luc Picard.

Or as whichever of Picard's ancestors might be alive and active as of DSC's time frame.

Brief clip of a recent interview with Patrick Stewart. He seems a bit confused thinking a new film imminent, but says about Discovery, "I may have cause to look at it very soon"....

The comment could mean anything, but it does feel like I've possibility could be a hint about being asked to spear in some form.

It's pretty much the same type of response you got from William Shatner when TNG was starting in First Run syndication 31 years ago....IE - "What? Another Star Trek?? Sure, I'd love the paycheck..."

"I may have good cause to look at it very soon" = "Oh shit, they're bound to ask me about this again, will have to google what it is so I can at least fib something when it comes up"

Jeffery Combs allegedly (so take this with a grain of salt) said that they didn’t want to bring on any reoccurring actors from previous series.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ But DSC has already had two previous actors return:

- Clint Howard, who’s done many prior Trek roles, played an Orion in “Will You Take My Hand?”

- Tasia Valenza (the Vulcan cadet T’Shanik in TNG’s “Coming Of Age”) was the computer voice on the Shenzhou

 

[Tuskin38]

I said reoccurring not one offs.

 

[Terok Nor]

I think it means he meeting up with Frakes soon and they're either going to watch the Season 1 episode Frakes directed or he's going to visit Frakes on the set of Season 2.

Also, Admiral Picard will never happen. If anything it will be Ambassador Picard but I doubt Picard would give up the Enterprise to become a desk jockey at Starfleet Command.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I said reoccurring not one offs.

I would count Clint Howard as recurring. He's been in TOS, DS9 and ENT before this.

As for Picard: I would love it if Sir Pat would appear on DSC as the Picard ancestor of the time, but I doubt he would agree to it. I think that would indeed be too distracting.

Unless there's a story to be had, of course.

 

[Refuge]

He reacted like it was barely on his radar.

 

[CorporalClegg]

Translation:

"That was a stupid question. Go away."

 

[cultcross]

Considering they wanted Michael Dorn to appear for tuppence ha'penny and a stick of licorice, I doubt they would shell out what would be needed to secure Patrick Stewart.

 

[Dukhat]

That doesn’t stop baseless speculation by the fanbase, unfortunately.

Mr Pickard flogging expensive wine to Starfleet, before Earth gets rid of money lol

 

[Mudd]

I doubt we’ll be seeing Admiral Picard any time soon. Unless the show becomes so horrible that they have to resort to silly fanwank like that to get viewers.

So by Season Two, Episode Three then?

You didn’t see the section 31 clip? The ‘new’ enterprise? Mudd? Mirror universe episodes?
Whatever the next stage up from fanwank is, we are heading towards it at Warp 9.7.
And I like the show atm. XD
