That’s what grates with me the most. I like Rios and Jurati, and the actors who portray them. I don’t particularly care for the rest of the TNG characters (Picard and Data were the only ones I ever really liked) and they’ve well and truly had their time in the sun. The idea that enjoyable characters are being shoved aside - or worse - for them is putting me off S3.

TBH, the attitude that only Picard's story matters and all other characters are in service to that end makes me a little apprehensive for the TNG reunion. I don't want to see any of them sacrificed to further Picard's narrative either.
And for that reason alone it will never be allowed into the sacred halls of canon. Always doomed to live forever in the dark forbidden zone that is head-canon.
Raffi? Riker? Worf? Geordi? Beverly? Deanna?
Okay, probably not Deanna. (Just because she’s not been in uniform for awhile from the last we knew.)
It’s a bit of a stretch but they’ve brought it up: Seven?
I don't disagree with you here, although I like more characters than you. I think I'll be happy seeing Worf and Riker again (even though we already saw Riker in season 1) and to a lesser extent Geordi (mainly because of LeVar rather than the character). But yea, they had 177 episodes and 4 movies to shine. Having them appear in the season is fine, or throughout the show's run as needed like in Nepenthe, would have been fine. Sidelining the main cast of one show in order to bring in an old cast back for "another" final farewell isn't really sitting well with me.
I wonder if Michael Dorn bent their arm to use any of his 'Captain Worf' ideas?
Is the Stargazer even going to be in season 3?
There's more than one Q.
Of course. But do the PIC writers know this?
Right. So, not Jurati. The Borg Queen, kinder and gentler. They're a single entity, a single consciousness, and they're done reenacting the Odd Couple inside one skull.
Or maybe not. A piece is still being overlooked if the writers had enough coffee that day.
De Lancie said that they were shooting some season 3 scenes while they were still shooting season 2 (which led to speculation as to whether Q is in season 3 or not). Maybe this has to do with that somehow.
If only....
<------ (This wish comes from someone with a Vulcan!Daisy Johnson avatar.)
I still hope the last two seasons will end up being Picard realizing he never actually woke up from dying, and this has all been his personal journey through a form of purgatory to his ascension to a higher form of being.
This campaign has taken on a life of its own! 
There's now a movement to bring back Hugh:

That's not really fair to all the others, particularly Jeri's Seven, who will have all of their work and character development shunted into "It's a dream" territory.
By contrast, I think season 1 has some of the best worldbuilding in Star Trek.
They're using all the sets they built for it at least. Drexler posted a photo from Season 3 filming on the bridge on his Facebook page.
He had to blur one of the tactical station screens because it had a ship shaped spoiler on it.

THAT would be a ballsy bit of writing.
