    Agreed that it sounds worrying. But there is one little spark of hope in that article:

    "Hanelle Culpepper – who has directed episodes of countless high-profile TV shows including Star Trek: Discovey – will direct the first block of the series, while Jonathan Frakes – who directed Stewart in Star Trek: The Next Generation, First Contact and Insurrection – will take control of the latter block."

    While the first director is dodgy...Discovery didn't exactly go down well, at least until season 2. But Jonathan Frakes...fingers crossed he doesn't let them wreck it. If I remember, they brought him back for the mirror discovery episodes, which turned out to be the sole reason to watch the first season (at least to me). So there is hope...just not much of it Smile

    More updates...
    https://inews.co.uk/culture/televisi...rt-cast-video/
    Particularly... regarding the timeline and significant events. You may want to be sitting down when you read this.
    Time and experiences do change people's believes and opinions, so I can accept that the older version of Picard perhaps does have a.shaky relationship with Starfleet.

    This all lays down on writing as this will be a character centric show. So I think you will either like the writing or you won't. I intend to give it a shot. since Sir Patrick is directly involved here, Im hoping and do have some faith.

    I've also heard rumours that CBS did go to Netflix first to stream Picard but they rejected it - hence they went to Amazon who agreed to invest and stream into it.

    I don't think that that article is that worrisome, I can guess as to what that 'unthinkable' thing that happens that causes him to leave Starfleet.

    Most likely another Crusher death, this being Beverly, especially if they have them get together, since it's quite obvious throughout the entire series and movies that they have something for each other, even going back as far as season one of TNG.

    I hope they draw inspiration from Friedman's novel 'Death in Winter', as it's been one of my favourite Trek Novels and how he managed to get Picard and Crusher together was done skillfully and not in a hamfisted manner in regards to how relationships are handled in the other Trek EU novels.

    Even then, Stewart is an amazing actor. If he can pull off a major character shift that is described in the trailer, he can. Especially since he's been able to pull off similar shifts in character before, à la First Contact and Ahab hunting his whale.

    My guess is he was leading the evacuation of Romulus when the star went nova. The unthinkable is either the death of Crusher or the death of Spock (so he thinks). He may blame Starfleets inaction to assist with stopping the super nova. If you think back over the course of TNG and the movies Picard has had issues with the decisions made by the admiralty on more than one occasion.

    Those rumors were started by a certain group of YouTubers who tend to make things up that fit their narrative and claim their “insiders” told them. What more than likely happened is simply that Netflix was outbid by Amazon. All of these new shows will go to the highest offer internationally.
