    Seems like the perfect song to celebrate it. Not the song I was looking for but it will have to do.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Awe Why not. The man was a legend on DS9. Not easy to keep that station running you know as well as all the runabouts and then the Defiant as well.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Only seen this now. What can I say I was busy. I think Patrick Stewart would not do this unless he thinks it is good and has potential. I doubt he is stuck for a few dollars. I think he must be at least an admiral by now.

    I think it could be interesting and hopefully good. Hope Colm Meaney gets a chance to appear in it too. Maybe he has his own ship now or is chief engineer on one.

    He took a job in Starfleet Academy at end of DS9

    As long as he outranks Janeway I don't care

    Wasn't she an admiral in some future version of herself?

    Yes, in Nemesis I think?

    I’m so excited about the potential here. I’m the same age as TNG so grew up watching Picard. I really think this will be something special.

    Well yes, but she changed that timeline didn’t she!

    I remember her talking to Picard on sub-space as Admiral Janeway (just checked and it’s deffo in Nemesis).

    I think that will in essence cover it. And tbh, I'm fine with that. A last few intimate hours with Picard, wil quality writing, and quality acting...it's all they need.

    However, who's to say it's Prime Picard, and not a Picard of a future JJ timeline?

    As great news as this is and all, I kinda wish they had waited until they were in a further stage of development to announce it. They don't even have a script yet, meaning this is at least 2-3 years away.

    Can’t wait for this ! Finally a show set after voyager and not a prequel! Discovery is fine , but this is great news.

    Stewart is 78 no? He looks fantastic but, in all honesty, they would want to get a move on, before age finally catches up with the man. Can't imagine 10-15 hour day shoots were easy 30 years ago

    Curious to see what this will be. Excited, obviously, but mostly nervous.

    What on Earth is the justification for giving Alex Kurtzman the keys to the Trek kingdom.

    ^^ The man is just magnetic, it's impossible not to listen when he's speaking :o The important thing he's more or less advising in the above video is that it won't be business as usual, in terms of Picard being a Captain on the bridge of a Starship. The character will have been changed, given 20 years for him will have passed.

    I've a feeling we'll see a tired, worn out Jean-Luc at first, apathetic towards the world around him after suffering some form of personal loss. However, someone will rekindle his fire and passion, and he will come out of hiding for one final adventure....not dissimilar to The Last Jedi I feel.

    His interest was majorly spiked by rumours of Tarantino. I wonder if he'll helm an episode or two

    I've always imagined Picard being less interested in teaching, and more like a Boothby type character pf the Academy

    I joked about the vinyard, but given reading between the lines about Picard being a changed man from experience, it seems like the kind of place we might find him at the start. The Dominion War, loss of his family, friends like Data etc., and given it was where we found him at the start of "All Good Things..." anyway (even if it was an alt-future), maybe he retired to tend grapes, fate / old friends pulling him back into a mystery

    Really really looking forward to what they do with this. From the video he seems very hands on with the project which id hope means it'll be good.
