There are more important issues facing this world than guest stars on a TV show. None of us have any control over it, so why fuss about it? Why expend energy over it? TPTB are going to do what they want.
"Guinan? Why did you give me a copy of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court?" "How well do you know your eclipses, Jean-Luc? Could give you an advantage when you need one." "Don't talk to me in riddles! I'm too old for that merde." "Old? You? Not from where I'm standing." "Oh cut that out. You're not even bald." "That you know of..." "Do you remember when we first met, Jean-Luc?" "What? After we found Data's head?" "What if that wasn't the first time? That's all I can give you. Like that book. Sometimes memory is like an eclipse."
Once the inevitable "What color will Guinan's dreds be?" thread turns into a dark corridor of the soul and gets locked because someone calls her a Mary Sue .
I was going to say something similar. She did "Swimming with Sharks" which was pretty good (Spacey, the "what" guy from Pulp Fiction). Not really much else. She did nuBSG. With Wil Wheaton doing Ready Room, anything is possible.
Yeah, when people say we nitpick too much on this board I have to chuckle and say: "Why are you even here?"
Sorry if this is been brought up elsewhere, I did a cursory search and couldn't find anything about it. While appearing on The View, Patrick Stewart offered a formal invitation from himself and Alex Kurtzman to Whoopi Goldberg to return to the franchise in the second season of Picard.
It would be funny if Guinan comes in and says that everything isn’t right, implying that this is the wrong timeline like Yesterday’s Enterprise.
