Definite New Series/Limited Series with Patrick Stewart Returning

Yep. I don't know where people are coming from suggesting Stewart would turn it down. He already said he'd be willing to work on the Tarantino film or Discovery Season 2 if asked.

 

Honestly, the major problem Spiner had as time wore on is he got kinda fat, which Data shouldn't have done. If he had stayed trim, I don't think people would have noticed.

 

They could always have Data as the ship's AI. Just show his face on a screen every now and then, or as a blurry faceswapped hologram.

 

...like Holly from Red Dwarf?!

Who wantes to bet Frakes will be involved? (Which would be great, I love him as a director)

 

1) I've seen him recently and he's not even close to fat 2) if he was, he could loose weight.

 

I don't see Stewart wanting to do 10-13 episodes of a TV show. He's 77 years old and doesn't need the money. I imagine he's been offered some kind of guest spot similar to what he did for DS9 or what Kelley did for TNG. Or maybe he's just a recurring character. This is all probably 2+ years away anyway, so I'll believe it when I see it.

I also know it won't take away my enjoyment of some of the novels post Nemesis, but I really don't want that whole house of cards to come crashing down if they go with something radically different for Picard's future. He belongs on the Enterprise.

 

I'm not talking about now, I'm talking about in Nemesis. He almost had a double chin in some shots.

Hardly seems fat

 

He may have been wearing a girdle like Frakes. His face is notably heavier than when he was on TNG however. Just normal middle-age "filling out" but since Data shouldn't have changed physical form, it was noticeable.

 

Yes he has gained a little in the last 30 years, but hardly what anyone should call fat

 

Hopefully not an elderly Picard show.Patrick’s performance in
‘Logan’ left me feeling a little misty-eyed.

Time is the fire in which we all burn...indeed.

 

Omg right!

 

It did cross my mind that Patrick was perhaps on a mission to "end" his most famous characters.

 

This...

 

Who cares if Picard looks old. People age and get old. It's part of life. Granted I don't think he would work as a action hero on the show but then again Picard was never truly a action hero to begin with. I also think he might would come back. Not only has he expressed interests in doing Tarantino movie but he had those remarks about doing "Discovery" that made people think he might do that show.

@ITDUDE posted this in another thread.


He is 77, but is still working full time for what I can tell on both stage and screen.

Perhaps all five rumoured series are actually just one series . An animated series which focus on Picard as commandant of Starfleet Academy. In the first episode one of the students clones Khan in the school lab for a joke, things go badly wrong. This stuff writes itself.

 

Maybe it's going to be about young Picard on the Stargazer with Stewart functioning as a narrator, talking to Starfleet cadets about his old adventures. Some kind of anthology series.

 

Just an aside: it's pretty obvious that Star Trek doesn't have a great track record of predicting the "elder" versions of their characters now that we've what they actually look like in the same time frames.

 

They could get a lot of different actors to play him at different ages! But I doubt there are many bald actors in that age range.
