Picard is 94 in the new series. Considering that Admiral Mark Jameson was nine years younger and looked like somebody partially melted David Hasselhoff in a pan Picard looks pretty damn good for his age, even in the year 2399.
Patrick Stewart has seen first 5 episodes, hopes fans won't be disappointed

Please don't suck. That's all I ask.
Didn't stop William Shatner from starring in endless Trek sequels.
It's going to suck on some level.
No indication he's on active duty in this series. And its not like he's going to be surrounded by fellow retirees. Not sure why a cast of a scifi show can't have one senior citizen in it. Not like Fringe was hurt by having an ancient looking John Noble in the cast. The Expanse wasn't hurt by 70 year old David Strathearn playing a badass either.

Well it is going to take place for some extent in the vacuum of space.
And this, right here, is why people find negatives in so many things in today’s world.
Try approaching something with the expectation that it WON’T suck, and just sit back and enjoy whatever it gives you. You’ll be surprised then how it DOESN’T suck on some level.
As I said before, you like everything, so I can't imagine you won't be all over this.
With due respect, I have spent the last ten years defending the Trek that I enjoy and love on some level, warts and all. This is one of the first times that I have had this attitude towards Trek and I am done. I'm done liking stuff and being told it sucks because I'm apparently blind to the flaws. I'm just over it all.
Nope, not this time.
Patrick Stewart will turn 80 in July of 2020 - so yeah, he's not a 'spring chicken'. Makes the early renewal of Season 2 and the ok to even plan for Season 3; as well as starting to film Picard Season 2 ASAP understandable.
To be fair - Adm. Jameson was also supposed to be suffering from "Iverson's disease" which was supposed to make the character even more frail.
I've got to say...
We all have that one Star Trek series we don't like (and even if you don't, it'll happen one day). Mine just happened to be ENT, not PIC. So I see exactly what fireproof78 is saying. No need to press the issue. He's been on the other side of the argument plenty of times.
I'm confused. It sounds like you made up your mind to not like Picard and yet it's not even out yet....?
Mine is TNG (I'm watching for Seven of Nine. One look at my avatar and you'll know.
)I've always found Picard bloviating.
I propose that, when TNG is remastered (again), they dub over "Iverson's Disease" and replace it with "Melted-David-Hasselhoff-in-a-pan disease"!
Because I'm done trying. I'm done liking stuff others don't. It was fun as a teenager, but it's just tiresome now. I'm over it.
I'll just go watch my TOS VHS and just be done.
When was the last time the Shat appeared in a Trek sequel ?
"Generations"?
When was that?
I don't have Amazon Prime, if I did I'd watch it
But I've never been a fan of Picard or TNG
I'm very confused. Just watch the show if you want, give it a try. It's a new Star Trek show. At least sample it. You might like it.
And don't pay any attention to what other people like! You do you, man. I love that you fight the good fight in the SW forums and are true to your self and your opinions regardless of what anyone else says.
What other people think doesn't matter!
