Not going to lie, this brought a tear to my eye.

The franchise has been underwhelming lately, the last few films were mediocre and ST: Discovery wasn't worth watching without Jason Isaacs. Time to bring back Big Daddy Cool, Logan proved that Patrick Stewart has not lost any of his his power. Some surprises in the cast:

Sir Patrick ended his association with Picard on an awkward note and it nearly cost the life of his co-star.

He should be doing Shakespeare
After his landmark portrayal of MacBeth as Joseph Stalin, he's done all the Shakespeare he needs. With Ian McKellen and Anthony Hopkins both doing versions of King Lear, he doesn't have to.

His "that Scottish play" gave center stage to the witches, who were sexy and insane at the same time. Very different from past plays.

Looking forward to it. I sure hope they don't give it the Discovery treatment and stay true to Star Trek.

Discovery is completely unwatchable.

Sir Patrick has the two best Shakespeare productions this century. From The Hollow Crown Series - Richard II.

His frail John of Gaunt was shocking. This was one of John Gielgud's signature roles.

Not sure if No. 1 will appear in this series but Jonathan Frakes is the de facto showrunner of ST:picard. Had he more say in ST:Discovery, it would have been better. He's directing the pilot episode.

He and Marina Sirtis have confirmed appearances.

Do not watch Nemesis. Don’t do it. Trust me.
Once I realized it was Tom Hardy in a Patrick Stewart novelty nose I watched it. I wasn't that bad, Stewart should have waited until after the film was shot before announcing he would no longer play Picard. It wasn't being a degenerate junkie that got Hardy blackballed from Hollywood. Actor Paul Bettany (Avengers - Vision) tried to berate him publicly. Tom took exception and laid him out, he wouldn't get another chance until Christopher Nolan took the risk in Inception.

Nolan was asked if it was Bronson that made him decide to cast him, he said it was Handsome Bob.

Nice to see Toronto's Alison Pill (left of Stewart) is in the cast. Where's Jeri Ryan, she just turned 50 and still hotter than women half his age.

Hugh is part of the cast!
