Definitely the best news I’ve heard all year is that Patrick Stewart will reprise his legendary role as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in a new upcoming Star Trek series on CBS. Sir. Patrick Stewart surprised everyone in attendance as he appeared at the 2018 Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas to make the announcement. Without going into specifics, he only states that he will return to TV as Captain Picard. And that it is the right time for Jean-Luc Picard to make his return.
I couldn’t agree more. If Jean-Luc Picard was a real person, I think the world would be a much safer and more informed place. On Star Trek: the Next Generation, Stewart played the role as Captain of the Starship Enterprise with a high level of class and character that Captain Kirk simply couldn’t match. Kirk was more impulsive to act where as Picard was more diplomatic. Not to say that William Shatner didn’t do a great job playing the Captain. Although he often did overact a lot of scenes, Kirk was just a different type of Captain than Picard.
I just personally prefer Picard over Kirk or any other Captain in the Star Trek universe. With that said, I am super excited about Patrick Stewarts return to a new Star Trek series. No word yet on when this new show will air, but I along with all of you Trekkies will be there salivating when the news breaks. Until then, “Mr. Warf…make it so.”
