Hmmmm.

I am kind of excited about this. Maybe even a little bit more than excited. Maybe.

Adventures at the Star Fleet Retirement Home.

YES!!!!!!!

His wheel chair travels at warp speed.

I sense a Borg plot.

Janeway took care of the Borg threat. Still, that wouldn't stop them if they wanted to rehash that old enemy.

Maybe he's in danger of taking humanity down the path of cyborgization a little too far, which could be how the Borg got their start.

Who knows what he might do to stave off Irumodic Syndrome? Nanite treatment?

Memory alpha says he was still captain of the Enterprise-E until he was 74. Steward is currently 78, himself.

Picard would have been 65 at the end of TNG.

But how things unfolded in one timeline, while they should in most cases take strongly similar paths, don't necessary have any bearing on how they will unfold in another timeline. The Enterprise-D, for example, wasn't destroyed, and the Romulan Star didn't go super Nova, either, in the one where he developed full blownIrumodic Syndrome.

Since they're bringing old Trek stuff back,how about that Enterprise show? Heard tell it was canceled a while back.

I will buy the first season of "Star Trek Picard" on DVD.

I will stream it on the CBS All-Access streaming service, which I use for streaming television series which can be streamed on that service.

I will not do this because I do not subscribe to the service that would allow me to do it, if I attempted to do it.

That logic tracks.

I'm very excited by the news and will eagerly check out the show, but I'm very curious whether it will aesthetically look like Discovery and the reboot films, or if the production design and look will be more in line with the Berman era shows, what we're familiar with for Picard.

Personally, I hope they continue the trend of not-so-subtly merging the classic look into whatever modern aesthetic they're using.

I hope Ian McKellen gets a role as Picard's sidekick in whatever adventures he winds up having.

It'd be fun to see those two hanging out in the 24th Century.

Maybe they will finally explain why the universal translator gives this Frenchman an English accent?

Along with ... SHATNER

I am excited to see this announced but cannot see myself paying for the streaming service.

Something about a stolen time machine, Star Fleet command and a secret mission, etc. "A trio of Starfleet geriatrics on the loose throughout space and time". It could be the American equivalent of Dr. Who.
