I'm looking forward to seeing what this change is that he's talking about!

When is season 2 scheduled to start?

They are supposed to start shooting in February. I assume this pretty much means the beginning of February.

Interesting Trekmovie article. I 'm also looking forward to the changes Patrick Stewart mentions in the interview.

 

[Discofan]

I just thought of something. If they ever want to fire Patrick Stewart from his own show it will be easy. Just say that they've upgraded the Picard android to give it a young appearance and that's it.

They could transfer Picard's consciousness into the body of a jumping shark.

Yeah, jumping the shark... clever.

 

[Belz...]

Well I just finished watching the first season a couple of days ago, and I have to say that I've been impressed. A few things I didn't like (the f-word in Star Trek, for instance, is a no-no) but overall I've prefered this very much to Discovery. Going to buy the Blu-Ray for certain.

And now I finally have a Star Trek ship I want for my personal use other than the Runabout: La Sirena!

Split personality?

Problem: Brent Spiner does NOT want to play Data again (it was a Herculean effort to get him to play Data for S1).

 

[NCC-73515]

What an odd conclusion - nothing he said implies that XD

 

[Belz...]

But even so, his role is done, so that's ok. It's unfortunate that they didn't have movie budget. CGI de-aging does wonders nowadays.

He sees himself as being too old for the part (he asked to die in Nemesis for that reason).

Androids are supposed to be ageless and his age was showing.

 

[Alexander Corrino]

But Data does age. It’s a line in TNG’s “Inheritance”. I wonder why no one ever told that to Spiner. Might have changed some of Star Trek’s history.

 

[Lord Garth]

No need to see Data beyond this point. IMO, they've made up for Nemesis and given him the best send-off he could get. I'd rather have Brent Spiner just play Altan Soong.

It's interesting. Picard and Data ended up the opposite Kirk and Spock when it comes to life-and-death. Spock came back to life, and Kirk didn't. Whereas Picard came back to life, but Data didn't.

 

[Discofan]

Data went 404...

Someone asked Micheal Dorn if he was going to play Worf in season 2 of Picard . He says no he hadn't been asked to play Worf right now. He's been busy doing interviews for a movie Called Agent Revelation.I saw the interview on tv.

It could be that he's deemed too expensive.

 

[Skywalker]

He also could just not be allowed to say he's involved until it's been officially announced. Actors/directors/etc. often have to lie to hide their involvement in a project if they've signed some kind of NDA.

This is from S2 showrunner Terry Matalas

Just experienced an absolutely legendary moment on #StarTrekPicard Season 2... that I can say nothing about.

Filming hasn't started yet, so what could he be possibly talking about? Is Whoopi touring the set dressed as Guinan or what?

 

[The Old Mixer]

Return of the Brophy?
