Re: special Guest Star - ...........

I do wonder whether including actors from the original show would become a bit gimmicky. We'd be watching to see Boxleitner or Christian, and putting emphasis on that rather than the story or the...

Re: Reaction videos

It's a north-east accent. I might be wrong but her accent doesn't quite sound strong enough to be from Newcastle, but maybe Durham or Hartlepool or somewhere around there.

I think the sets might be very different - think more like the aesthetics of The Expanse – and I don't mind too much about the costumes either way, but I don't want the ships to change too much. When...

Re: Star Trek Picard Series

I thought the season 2 opener was excellent. Felt like TNG-era Star Trek, which the first season didn't. Loved Picard's response to seeing Q ("No, no, no. Q! Goddamn you, Q!"), was great to see all...

He doesn't have to be written the same way. On the face of it, an embittered, rogue Psi Cop trying to save his people sounds like an interesting character.
