“Jean-Luc Picard is back”: will new Picard show eclipse Discovery?

[Nerys Myk]

Do we already know what the new Picard show will be about?

It will be about Picard.

 

[fireproof78]

It will be about Picard.

So disappointing...

 

[Discofan]

I think it will be Picard plus a bunch of people we've never seen before and the occasional guest star from TNG... hopefully in more than a cameo role...

That doesn't necessarily mean it will be bad.

Depends on your view of Picard.

 

[Discofan]

Fair enough.

 

[Locutus of Bored]

Depends on your view of Picard.

My view is looking down on the top of his head, backlit by four, maybe five lights... so "reflective".

Johnathan Frakes has been slimming down. It's almost as if there is a uniform he need to get into...

 

[Nerys Myk]

Which Picard? Stick up the butt Picard? Condescending Picard? Action Hero Picard?

I'm hoping for a new one-Grumpy Old Man Picard. I'm trying to collect the whole set.

 

[Lord Garth]

The Golden Captains --> Picard wants to thank everyone for being a friend.

It's a good thing, he's a lot fatter in Nemesis than he was at the beginning of the series.

IOW, the way he was in the future part of "All Good Things..." and the end of "The Inner Light".

Indeed, he sure was breaking a sweat during those 'action' scenes

But it has to happen for real for it to count.

That's simply not true, we know barely anything about the 23rd century, the majority of the TOS adventures where isolated incidents, we got to see the adventures of one ship over just a few years.

Agreed. I question the logic of the "setting it after Voyager will free it up continuity-wise" argument. There are 21 seasons of established 24th Century continuity that you have to be careful about not abrogating. Heaven help the producer that forgets what happened in a third season episode of Voyager that is suddenly very important to some fans.

You're joking, right? Like when the writers of Voyager completely screwed up the Borg timeline?

Fortunately they had a backup plan: screw up the Borg themselves so much that no one would care about them and change the channel when they saw a cube on the intro.
