Re: Patrick Stewart.....Picard Is Back.

Just watched episode 2 and to be honest its great to see the scenery and some of the old actors but the storyline is not working for me at present.
But I will percy-vere for a while.

Re: Patrick Stewart.....Picard Is Back.

Have just watched the latest episode (3) and I'm beginning to warm up to it.

Star Trek Discovery though, I'm not too keen on. I can't warm to or engage with, any of the characters.

Don't like this new version - they are over milking the cash cow!

I agree - in part!

I found the original series boring and repetitive. I think a brief description of every episode would be the same: Captain Kirk gets the fancy woman!

On the other hand, Patrick Stewart was by far the best captain of the best series bar none. As you describe, he is a Shakespearean actor and can display an exceedingly convincing character far better than that superseding, nasally-shrieking Captain Janeway!

The only attractive thing about Star Trek Voyager is Seven of Nine!

Re: Patrick Stewart.....Picard Is Back.

The best things about the original series were Spock, the chances that the scenery would fall over, the weird hairstyles, and the guest 'stars'. The self obsessed Shatner can't act so it was good to see some real actors from time to time.

Picard (Patrick Stewart) was definitely the most credible Captain and had an interesting crew.

Janeway - OK I suppose - again she had a good crew.

I preferred some of the films to the weekly series. Don't think much of this latest incarnation at all.

Has anyone else noticed the likeness?
