Patrick Stewart asked about Discovery

Brief clip of a recent interview with Patrick Stewart. He seems a bit confused thinking a new film imminent, but says about Discovery, "I may have cause to look at it very soon"....

The comment could mean anything, but it does feel like I've possibility could be a hint about being asked to spear in some form.
 
It's really fairly likely that STD will do some stunt casting this season, so why not?
 
Hmmmm. If Patrick Stewart has cause to look at it soon, then I'm going to triple-down on my prediction about the Spore Drive. I've already double-downed on it.

Something has to happen to the Spore Drive for it to no longer be in use in TOS, TNG, DS9, and VOY. I think Discovery is displaced in time and space and declared "lost". Throw what's gone on with Stamets into the mix, and Starfleet decides to just abandon it. I think they're re-introducing everything about the 23rd Century in DSC, so they can establish what's normal for the crew of Discovery before they disrupt it permanently. DSC was originally supposed to be an anthology series that would cover different time periods. They dropped the anthology aspect but that doesn't mean they've dropped the idea of different time periods.

... or Patrick Stewart is just saying whatever.

Well, it just sounds like he hasn’t watched the show yet but intends to. I doubt there’s any kind of deeper meaning to his words. Especially since he seems to think there’s going to be a new Star Trek movie out any time, which isn’t even remotely true.
 
The use of the word "cause" seems deliberate. As in an obligation, rather than an opportunity to watch it.

If it is Prime Universe as is being insisted, then time travel would permit a future Admiral Picard to show up in an episode.

Need a young Lt Morgan Bateson on bridge for that one just to really make things awkward.

I suppose the network could be damaged somehow, making its use impossible, but that would be a crying shame imo, because of all the wasted story potential the drive brings to Trek.

My money is on, it don't work without a living interface but, Tardigrades excepted, always damages those whom can be the interface. IMO, what is needed is a couple hundred years of computer advances.

I doubt we’ll be seeing Admiral Picard any time soon. Unless the show becomes so horrible that they have to resort to silly fanwank like that to get viewers.
 
Well this is interesting. I am not opposed in any way. I'd even take a time traveling Mirror Picard. That would be kinda amazing actually.

Wouldn't be the first time we saw Admiral Picard...
