Patrick Stewart will reprise his role as Jean-Luc Picard

Jayneway doesnt have any friends, she was a bitch to seven of nine.

And Sisko became a college professor. It isnt linear but w/e

I could see Sisko becoming a professor.

What gets me is why wouldn’t Picard go into teaching archeology or something after Starfleet? He expressed zero interest in taking over the family business and he talks about his love of archeology so much throughout TNG that it seems only someone who hadn’t really watched the series would come up with his current arc in the new show

It's been a growing concern for me in much of modern media. Gone it seems are the days when the everyman or journeyman could be a protagonist. Now there are certain occupations that a protagonist must have or they are not a protagonist. MAYBE Picard could have been a professor of Archaelogy if this were an Adventure movie in the vein of Indiana Jones or Lovecraftain horror at a stretch (Id love to see PS as Old Whatley in a Guiermo Del Toro Dunwich Horror film for instance) But this is science fiction. He CLEARLY MUST be one of those accepted fields. and this aint an adventure series. -_-

Oh and the death of his nephew really put him back on the family buisness track. What DOESNT make sense about that, is he should clearly be running the business with Guinan.

I guess now it should be updated to a tale of 3 picards?

 

[The Cat]

I think people are romaticisng the tng series too much.

 

[rav3n]

The TNG Picard was extraordinary. That's what I want to watch but what I want is meaningless, relative to the series, lol.

 

[The Cat]

Im not saying it wasnt extrodinary... But isnt it possible that nostalgia is playing a role in making it better than it was?

 

[rav3n]

Nope since I watched it when it ran and rewatched it a few years ago. The concepts still appealed.

I am glad for you it has held up. Deep Space nine has held up for me, but TNG has not. Its not bad. Its just notmy favorite trek. But I am glad everyone enjoys it. It had some great characters and arcs.

For me, DS9 wasn't a big deal for me the first and second rounds of watching it. It was entertaining enough but I'm not a fan of Sisko, finding him too e-mo each time.

This is why we still need multiple treks !

Who is the greatest captain in Star Trek and why is it Benjamin Sisko?

Sisko always felt the most fleshed out as a person. The other captains only seemed to have personal habits hobbies and family when it suited the story. With sisko it was just always on deck. Ds9 in general felt more character driven.

He had to balance the role of family man with those of commander, tactician, and emissary. The other captains were a bunch of carefree bachelors. I don't think even Picard had quite that range of duties and responsibilities.

Sisko should've been a commodore or an admiral by season 7. He was commanding fleet wings and cooperating with the top brass on major strategies and political decisions.

He did help command the fleet during the war with the Dominion . I sometimes wonder what his life would have actually been like if the founders hadn't taken him to the celestial temple...

He'd probably be an admiral by the time of Nemesis.

I wonder if he ever forgave Picard for wolf 359

The humanity of Picard came out in so many subtle ways. I loved how they gave glimpses of him, sufficient to get a bead on who he was.

They wrote Sisko with the subtlety of a 2x4. Grumpy, manipulative and an all around E-mo decision maker.

It's like we're watching both treks and having the same insights for the other show. This is legitimately fascinating to me.

If we were neighbors I'd suggest a "Book group" but where we we each watch an episode of both shows every week chronologically and see how long it takes them to become indisiguishible, but no less awesome for it.

But what I've expressed isn't an opposing view.
