[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 7908334, member: 18182"] Stewart is talking about character growth. In both the real world and the Star Trek universe, decades have passed. Jean-Luc Picard is not the same person he was 20 years ago, just as Patrick Stewart isn't the same person he was 20 years ago. Neither am I, for that matter. I'm not the same kid tuning in every week jealous that Wil Wheaton gets to be on the Enterprise and I don't . . . . Stewart was not interested in ST: The Next Generation "Season 8", or in yet another entry in the movie series after ST: Nemesis, where ([I]in episodic storytelling fashion[/I]) Picard is in pretty much the same place he was in most episodes of the show. Stewart has expressed similar sentiments in reprising the role of Professor X in the X-Men franchise. Both the Professor X of "Logan" and the Picard of "Star Trek: Picard" are men who have grown and are in very different places in their lives from what we remember "back in the day". AND I LOVE THIS! I'd watch a "Season 8" of Next Gen, don't get me wrong, but this is storytelling that has me excited and intrigued. Way more interesting to see how the decades have treated Picard than watching a re-tread of Next Gen. ST: Picard builds on top of the lore of Next Gen and the rest of Star Trek, but it is most certainly a show with a different storytelling tone for an audience that has also changed over the years, long-time Trek fans and just sci-fi fans in general. Are there some long-time fans grumpy that ST: Disco and ST: Picard are "not true Star Trek" shows, just like we had grognards here on ENWorld grumping that the latest D&D edition is "not my D&D"?!?! Of course we do. That is a constant of life. But is there a LOT of fans unhappy with the direction of the new Star Trek shows? Possibly, I suppose, but I haven't seen evidence of it, and both shows seem to be doing just fine. [I]EDIT: Add in last paragraph.[/I] [/QUOTE]
