I have to admit, while so many were taking it as a given, I was skeptical that she was actually going to be in this season just based on that informal invitation on The View.
I was skeptical too because CBS didn't list her as appearing in season two, but I thought it had to do with COVID restrictions. Both LeVar Burton and Gates McFadden have hinted that they were contacted about possible appearances but that covid safety had changed the number of guest performers they could have.
Generally speaking, if Sir Patrick invites someone on his show the way he invited Whoopi Goldberg you can bet that it’s meant seriously. 
I'd rather not.
Yeah, I thought the public invitation meant it was definite, but then Covid came along and things might have changed.
I doubt it as well - they’re currently promoting Lower Decks because the new season has started. They won’t want any “interference” from PIC there - they’ve made it somewhat clear in recent months that they always tend to focus their promotional work on the show that’s currently airing or soon-to-be airing. And I’m also pretty sure Briones, like everyone else who’s working on PIC, signed at least one NDA
Today Isa Briones , Evan Evagora and Jonathan Del Arco are going to be there for the Picard Panel today.Trekmovie has a new interview with John Delancie finishing filming Q for season 2. And he said fans will enjoy the storylines for Picard and the other characters journey takes them season 2.

Lower Decks is kind of bizarrely the least controversial of the new series. I remember when the first episode came out and all the usual suspects did their Youtube videos of, "This sucks! They're ruining Star Trek" only to get fan revolts in their comments of, "No it doesn't. Grow a sense of humor."
Lower Decks has the freedom to exist in its own space. If people don't like it it is easy to dismiss out of hand because it's a comedy, or it is animated, etc. Picard dares to touch the most hallowed of characters in Trek history and did so in a not very respectful way.
Did anyone watch it?
It can also be easily dismissed from "canon" and no one will bat an eye. I mean ...
...do we really want Picard to be discussing the time a Starfleet officer gained strange energy powers a-la Gary Mitchell, then used them to workout and build himself a gym planet? And was cured by getting repeatedly kicked in the crotch?
I am going to say something that will get me killed with a bat'leth:
A lot of Star Trek is silly.
Spock's Brain silly or A Piece of the Action silly?
I'm glad it is, then. Because the Kurtzman Era tends to take itself way too seriously and that's why LD is so good for the most part. It not only embraces canon and continuity across the entire franchise but doesn't see every plot as some galaxy-destroying disaster.
