Listen. I don't care that the inmates are running the asylum over at cbs… I don't care that sir Patrick looks 100 years old and he could croak at any moment. I don't care that the discovery trend of needlessly updating effects that don't need updating seems to be in this series as well. All I know is I saw Data, I saw 7 of 9, I saw Borg and Picard said "engage" That's good enough for me, I'll take it. It looks to me from the trailer that Picard left Star Fleet over Data's death and NOT the destruction of Romulus. I'm glad because that makes much more sense emotionally speaking. It also looks like Data will remain dead (which sucks) and the focus of the show is a love child of Data and the Borg Queen. That explains the Data flashbacks, 7 of 9's appearance, the blue Borg cube, ect. It's a tired old plot, but the casting should make up for it. It could also be Spock's kid I guess, but I don't think that'd make as much sense based on what she said. |

You sure? https://www.newsarama.com/46177-star-trek-picard-welcomes-brent-spiner-jeri-ryan-jonathan-frakes-more-to-show.html I can't say any better, but would be surprised if he just joins for a death scene. |

I think he'll be heavily featured in the show, just not in the way you think. That scene that they showed seemed like either a hallucination or a dream to me, similar to the "Picard Day" banner they showed from tng. The line about not wanting it to end sounded to me like he realized it was a fantasy and didn't want to wake up. Them playing poker was very reminiscent of the final scene of the final episode of the old show. He looked de-aged in the scene as well, and that kind of stuff isn't cheap.... they have cbs all access money to work with, not marvel money. Him sitting stationary or doing very little in a few well staged flashbacks would be doable, but I don't know if he could be a regular cast member just due to the expense. Then again they cg'd in the stripes on the enterprise uniforms of discovery in a few episodes because they thought that'd be cheaper then just re-shooting the scenes, so what do I know. |

Not sure how much he is de-aged vs smoothed with makeup, he cheeks look pretty puffy in that shot, but yeah, its hard to say with Data if he will be a pivotal character or anything from a dream to a hologram to color in backstory. Surprised nothing yet from Michael Dorn. Dude has been begging to play Worf again for years. |
