Unapologetic Old School Curmudgeon |
Patrick Stewart is coming back for a new Star Trek series. Sucky part is its on the new CBS pay channel Don't weep for the stupid, or you will be crying all day | ||

Go ahead punk, make my day |
Might be the greatest thing since sliced bread but I'll never know - not paying for broadcast TV for a single show, when I already pay for CBS via cable. | |||

I love Picard, but I'm not ponying up for yet another streaming service. Especially for just one show. | |||

His diet consists of black coffee, and sarcasm. |
Would he be playing a starship captain, or some kind of elder statesman role? He's 78 years old. I know in Star Trek's time humans lived longer, and he does look pretty good for his age, but come on, that's old to be a believable captain. | |||

No details along those lines yet. But yeah, he's well past due for making Admiral. | |||

I've been hoping for them to continue the REAL Star Trek story onward (hear that, JJ?) ever since they cancelled Voyager, but I will NOT watch a pay channel. At least it's not another stupid prequel series. . . Fear God and Dread Nought Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacky Fisher | |||

Wait a few years until they get a few seasons in the can. Sign up. Binge watch. Cancel. Repeat. God Bless and Protect the Once and Future President, Donald John Trump. | |||

Never Go Full Retard |
I fear this will be a worse SJW mess than ST:TNG by covering all our current "modern problems" in their parallel future universe. They don't think it be like it is, but it do. | |||

hello darkness my old friend |
He mentioned in the announcement that he might not be a starship captain. He also said that it would take place about twenty years after the last film. Elder statesman sounds about right. | |||

Really? We're complaining about social issues in TNG when the original series had the first interracial kiss on TV? It also had at least one episode right off the top of my head that was about nothing BUT race and another one that was thinly veiled as "don't destroy nature just for the sake of profit". As I said, those are just off the top of my head. ______________________________________________ Aeronautics confers beauty and grandeur, combining art and science for those who devote themselves to it. . . . The aeronaut, free in space, sailing in the infinite, loses himself in the immense undulations of nature. He climbs, he rises, he soars, he reigns, he hurtles the proud vault of the azure sky. — Georges Besançon | |||

Complaining or commenting, you be the judge. Also there is a bit of a difference between an interacial kiss and the thought of seeing a transitioning Picard in drag. God Bless and Protect the Once and Future President, Donald John Trump. | |||

If you hear something that sounds like “NOOOOOOOOOOOO!, it’s just Shatner. "How old would you be if you didn't know how old you was?" - Satchel Paige | |||
|
It's not you, it's me. |
I try to forget about those ultra preachy episodes...as well as any featuring Wesley, Worf's son, and Troy's mom. Some were just Stupid. I believe the preachy ones were from when Roddenberry was in charge? | |||

The one where they got the cryogenically preserved people from a capsule really turned me off. They whole, no want for wealth or need for money. Bullshit. People do manual labor for FREE? He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. | |||

Eh. Not a big Picard fan, and Patrick Stewart has lost any sort of support I ever had for him with all his weird roles he’s played the last few years. Always thought he was a bit too much of a goody 2 shoes as a starship captain. | |||

I’m in. Discovery is decent, so I’m more optimistic than usual for another new Stat Trek series. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past me I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. -- | |||

That's one of the great unresolved contradictions in the Star Trek universe. The shows reference Roddenberry's "puppies and rainbows and no desire for payment" ideals, while at the same time making references to Starfleet personnel receiving compensation in the form of things like transporter credits, replicator credits, holodeck credits, etc. And it's clearly shown that Starfleet members receive some sort of payment, even if it's just to allow them to deal with traders and merchants outside of Starfleet, such as all the Starfleet personnel gambling and buying drinks at Quark's bar on DS9, going on vacations to alien resort worlds, etc. | |||
