I hope it will get a bit better (I doubt it). With Alison Pill and Jeri Ryan there is at least some hope (but I wouldn't be surprised if they
mess up the character of Seven of Nine too)
Damn! (picard voice)

Oh no... I'm hoping to get access to watch this in the coming
weeks..
It's only my oppinion. I wouldn't be surprised if you like the show.
There are much more positive reviews than negative ones and the ratings are not bad.
Just as aside, Have you noticed just how frail Patrick's voice is
sounding now. I've been watching him on the pre-release interview
circuit and it shows. I guess to be fair the guy is much older now and he's likely done a ton of interviews but yeah, I was kind of taken aback... because part of the aura of his character is the voice for me
and although the accent etc is still there the strength of it seems somewhat lost now...
Yep, I've noticed this as well. And it really is a bummer. Not only because you expect the character to be firm and decisive, but also
because getting old sucks in general and it makes you wonder how long
the heroes you grew up admiring have left these days.

It's a valid and equal opinion to anything I cough up too :)
Yeah I've been watching some YouTube stuff about all the supposed
angst going on behind the scenes at CBS etc. and the tussles between
those running the show and which creative direction it is to take etc. Seems like there is some legal/rights reason to create the shows in a
way that take the aesthetic down a pathway more like those of the JJ
films / Bad Robot style.. and that's got many nervous if rumors are to
be believed.
I found the whole explanation of why those JJ films were made they way they were very interesting. In short it's about access (or not) to
IP... and it's the original look/feel that I personally like and not
all the alternate stuff done by Bad Robot / Alex Kurtzman ...
The worry is this treatment may be being applied to Picard and (again
if rumors are to be believed) the damage it may do to the franchise as they roll out the last of their big gun actors from STNG...
Here's the link to the video if you want to watch it. Take it all with
a pinch of salt though.

I watched it yesterday, and enjoyed it.
we see Picard in a close up...I let out a gasp at how old he looked.
Actually...I found it highly entertaining & expect so much more than Discovery. One thing I found was seeing one of the producers of Fringe &

people recognize. I mean, I don't think I recognize any of the Discovery actors as being actors outside of Discovery. And even the characters are pretty new and different, ties to Spock and Pike notwithstanding.
Read this & you're right. Guess I was expecting a Picard who hadn't aged as much as it seemed...especially with the medical tech of that time.

who bit it before doing Discovery. Michelle Yeoh was a Bond girl back in
I suppose that's true -- if you assume that there's significant advancement in medical technology as far as aging goes, then he'd have
to be significantly older to be like this, or have some reason for it.
I really like that sort of thing, just because it allows for some storytelling that wouldn't be possible otherwise.
recognized "Michelle Yeoh", even if I haven't seen Crouching Tiger,
Hidden Dragon and possibly not the Bond movie, either.

Forgot she did that. In terms of the Bond movie...saw it lately on
Pluto TV because of Jonathan Pryce. Loved him in those old Lexus spots
he used to do here in the US.

I saw the trailer for "The Two Popes" with Jonathan Pryce and
Anthony Hopkins. You've got to have some acting chops as a lead
actor to have Anthony Hopkins as a supporting role!

I watched it yesterday, and enjoyed it.
Then again, I enjoyed Discovery, too, even if they were emotionally one-note at various times (which I grew to dislike about Enterprise, because Archer was basically just the same level of angry all the time.).
Put it on my phone & watched it during my lunch at work. Enjoyed it as well...except for one thing which kind of caught me off-guard. 1st time we see Picard in a close up...I let out a gasp at how old he looked.
Patrick Stewart is 79 years old. And the Picard show takes place about
20 years after Nemesis - so it's natural that he'd be older.

I actually enjoyed the pilot. I didn't really have high expectations though, but I knew it wasn't going to be a TNG get-together. I thought
it was interesting to see Picard dealing with some things
independently, and I'm curious to see where the series will go.
into Star Trek, and the Klingons look different). I also get tired of seeing so many prequels. I like that Picard takes place after Nemesis,
