Good thing all those Klingons ( and Klingon wannabes) the Albino crossed are dead. Otherwise Worf would have to watch his back.

Disclaimer: This isn't me trying to kill off anyone's joy, just musing on my own response a bit.
With the info we currently have and with the shortcomings of the prior PIC seasons, this isn't really shaping up to be comfort viewing for me so much as it is low-stakes viewing. So far as I'm concerned, the TNG crew got a proper send-off a couple decades ago with "All Good Things..." Even taking in how much I love First Contact, the movies feel lagniappe to me, a mostly-appreciated extra rather than solid canon. The TNG crew were my childhood Trek and formative viewing, but it's also the Trek for which the most time has passed since I was introduced and where I've consumed the most secondary and tertiary canon. So the emotional responses aren't as fresh or intense, and it's the one where I've seen the most reinterpretations of this crew via comics, novels, and fanworks since the show ended. So additional works, even with the stamp of official canon on them, don't feel more important, or more impactful, they just feel like more. (Not by itself a bad thing, of course - I wouldn't be watching PIC if "more" wasn't appealing.) And adding how heavy-handed PIC has been with some of the nostalgia aspects and how muddled aspects of last season's time-travel got, I'm not precisely excited for what Matalas has in store.
But thing is, the toned down emotional investment also means there's not a whole lot this season can do to actually upset me.* These characters have the weight of enough good writing and characterization behind them that even if the creatives do flub the (actually, really, truly final, we swear!
) send off, I don't feel like it'll be all that damaging to the characters, whereas the aspect of PIC S1 and especially S2 that most got under my skin was how careless the scripts were with characters who had so little development and were getting a pretty rough first go of things because the creatives seemed to value the weight of nostalgia over everything else. But now they're mostly out of the line of fire, so to speak. So I feel like I'll be able to either have a relaxed revisit with S3, or at least some good old fashioned "it's so bad it's good" MST3K action. And, you know, we can always get some info between now and next year that'll get me genuinely, prick-eared, tail-wagging excited, so... win-win?*(ETA: Unless they pull another Hugh, but I genuinely don't think Matalas plans to waste that returning character he didn't think he'd be able to snag.)

I'm so glad to see the crew together again. While I did enjoy the "new" crew - my excitement for PIC being put on television wasn't really for them. It's nice seeing a send-off for the TNG crew. It never sat right with me that Nemesis was their "good bye".
As for Worf's age, it's a minor thing. I'm just glad he looks like a TNG-era Klingon and not...

I've been burned twice on ST: Picard, but I was stoked to see this trailer. I got some quibbles. I also agree with those who feel that Worf is too gray/white, but otherwise I liked it. It was nice seeing the TNG cast again, like a reunion with old friends. But I also am tempering my feelings because I also felt a rush at seeing Guinan and Q again and didn't like what happened with those characters in the second season.
I love this site, but man sometimes I hate it. There is SO much negativity and pickiness on here about Star Trek. I am 46. I grew up on TNG and DS9. I consider this a golden Era for Trekkies. 5 wonderful shows are currently on. Are any of the shows perfect? No, but they are each better than most shows out there today. Plus I remember as much as I love Trek, it is fiction. It is not real life. So if new shows mess with cannon a little bit? Who cares? If Discovery a little to woke? Who cares? They probably feel they had to make up for the lack of LGBTQ representation during the Berman Era.
I'm still angry they won't have my girl Agnes but this was still pretty great
LMAO. Calling TNG a Gene creation is a very creative stretch.
Surely she'll be back, probably as soon as whatever PIC spin-off gets decided on. A Collective vs Cooperative story is just too juicy to stay away from for long.
Marco Hacks are without honor!
What if the actor they had to talk to was Brent Spiner and the character they are surprised to be able to bring back is Data?
Or at least B4? Teased back in Season 1.
Or Lore?
It really won’t feel complete without some iteration of ol’yellow eyes.

At least we still have Raffi right?
It's kind of fun to imagine that Worf actually colors his hair white, too look more distinguished.
My thoughts exactly!
Barclay would make sense too, but it really sounds like he was able to get someone back who seemed unavailable before, which fits Michelle Forbes perfectly.
Now I'm mildly interested.
Spiner is listed in the cast list for the first teaser but wasn’t in this one so either he’s not playing Data, he’s only doing a voice over (or something similar) or they are hiding him on purpose for some kind of big reveal.
The actor has gone into the deep end of certain things, I doubt CBS/Paramount will want to associate with him.
