This guy. He was found disconnected from the Collective in I, Borg and then gets mixed up with Lore’s shenanigans in the two-parter Descent.
But who is he in the trailer? No Borgs aside from Seven that I could see.
There’s a brief shot of a borgified corpse being prodded at 1:46 in the trailer. I don’t know if that’s Hugh, but it’s been confirmed that Jonathan Del Arco will be playing Hugh on the show.
Innnnteresting. This could actually be worth a look (although I’d rather see Picard back in command of a Starfleet ship, or as an admiral at Starfleet Command, wrestling with decisions as he sends younger officers out to do the sweaty stuff).
Naomi Wildman?
Well, let me start by saying I have no dog in this fight. I do not watch TV and am unwilling to pay for more TV channels.
Still, I saw the trailer, and I am not impressed. It seems dark. Star Trek is not supposed to be dark. I do not like what I have seen.
Further, the idea of “Picard in Retirement” is a neat idea. We do not need another starship. We certainly do not need Star Fleet Academy. What I would like to see is earth in the Star Trek’s post-scarcity economy. What is France like? What do retired people do in the XXV Century?
Or not. I have no taste. I am often wrong.
What do you think?
Since human life expectancy is around 150 years, I suspect they spend a lot of time mulling over Zephram Cochrane’s wise comment “Immortality consists largely of boredom.”
- Writing his memoirs,
- Commenting on starship design
- On the board of the local high school
- Learning to bake, a recurring theme throughout the series.
- Keeping the family vineyards going.
- Dealing with various nieces and nephews
Picard in retirement would have a lot of options and many chances for guest stars. But of course my emails go unreturned.
Ah, yes. Improving and enriching himself!
Me, I’d rather relocate to the South Pacific and be a beach bum. 
There’s another trailer that strongly suggests that it’s not about Picard in retirement.
I’m strongly anti-Trek with these producers. STD is a cringey mess. (Oddly enough with strong plots but horrible execution)
The Kelvin movies are entertaining but just deconstructing and selling for parts.
All that said…I think this looks good. My main quibble is the weak tropish “possible savior/ special anointed one”
But the pros would seem to outweigh this. It feels good to be back in a post TNG world with familiar faces and tech that makes sense. I’m very optimistic…and seriously part ways with the usual crybaby YouTube personalities who hate all things Trek/Wars*
- I agree with them on a lot but man they have blind spots
There is a mystery that brings Picard out of retirement, involving Seven of Nine and Data.
ETA: Riker and Troi will also appear at some point.
Dammit! that looks like something I might want to watch.
But not on CBS all access pay channel. :mad:
Same here.
Picard as a retiree walking along his vines sounds like a really boring show. So does any other idea the OP floated. While I think these producers are hacks, this show intrigues me a bit. Maybe not enough to pay for it, but we shall see.
Being a sleeper Borg spy. That I’d watch.
Edit.
Gone see trailer. Looks close enough.
TNG is the only Star Trek iteration that I actively dislike as opposed to merely didn’t get into. This still manages to look potentially interesting. An older warrior dealing with his traumas in retirement called back in a way that includes that character growth offers some real potential.
If they bring back much of the cast of TNG for anything but brief cameos I’m going to feel very, very stabby though. Worf and O’Brien get exceptions.
Weren’t you paying attention to the movies? Picard is it for the family. His brother and nephew died in a fire, and there are no other siblings. So unless Jean-Luc is in a few sperm banks. the line dies with him.
No. I have not seen a Star Trek movie, or TV show in donkey’s ears. Thanks for asking.
A series that can bring people back from the dead and recreate entire planets that were destroyed could certainly introduce long-lost relatives.
Surely all surviving captains of the Enterprise since Archer have been put out to stud. Old fashion, yes, but that’s the human factor they are always talking about. I expect the show is stuff that happens between his dates with young women. No doubt keeping Data around to organize his schedule.
