What I find amazing is that everyone thinks he will star in a "live action" series.

That *is* amazing!

Hmmm...

Well if it IS a cartoon, I hope it’s anime style...

The final scene for Picard will be him lieing on bed after a nice evening meal spent with a bajoran family he and Data helped out a bit. Suddenly memories distorted by his Irumodic Syndrome are coming back, how he made the fatal decision that destroyed the Enterprise E and killed many of its crew, the first big flare of the syndrome. He believes he's seeing Data entering his room, and he says: "I think I was not happy like this in many years. But I didn't deserve this. Not after what I did. All those dead people. They trusted me... What have I done, Data?" Then Data pulls out a mek'leth, and stabs Picard in his artificial heart. It's not Data - it's Lore, avenging the many years he spend deactivated in Maddox' Lab...

Data's dead.

Depends on the timeline we go with.......and what gets ignored or not

Data-Reborn-In-B4 of course.

I don't think they're likely to ignore actual movie canon.

Who said anything about ignoring movies?

Why not? They’ve ignored TV canon a bunch.

Maybe James McAvoy will play young Picard in flashbacks.

Seriously though, this is intriguing. I was underwhelmed with Discovery--enough that I didn't watch the second half of the season--and I tend to feel that there is a law of diminishing returns with continually trying to squeeze out new ideas from old franchises. But Patrick Stewart is Patrick Stewart. If anyone can re-create a character, he can (see "Logan").

That said, I do hope we get some good old fashioned space opera and not just Picard tending grapes and facing mortality. Say, Picard is pulled back into active duty as an admiral-captain.

I'm guessing the Borg will be involved in some form or fashion.
