New Trek show...

Wow, they really want to screw themselves and everybody else. No way am I paying for CBS All access.

[Aroura]

Yeah, screw that. That's legit upsetting. Monsters I say. Monsters.

It'll be creatively bankrupt like STD was. Kurtzman and Goldsman are running it, and it looks like it'll have as many Exec Directors as cast members.

As an actor Stewart is brilliant as a creator (eg dircetor) he very occasionally rises to mediocre.

When was he brilliant as an actor?   Both the range and subtlety of his portrayals i’ve seen are Shatnerian.

Unlike brilliant actors, in whose portrayals you always see the character and not the actor, in his there is all actor and no character.

When Anthony Hopkins portray Nixon, Stephens, Adams or Hannibal, neither Hopkins nor any of those others are there except the particular character being portrayed.  And that particular character is all there.

With the film Nixon the historic Nixon was jarring to see in new footages appended at the end of the movie, because the historic Nixon looked physically nothing like Hopkin’s Nixon, so convincingly did Hopkins make you believe you’ve seen in his protrayal the real intimate Nixon.

But when steward portrays anyone else I’ve seen, it takes effort to recall what is there is not suppose to be Steward channeling Picard.

Sure, Patrick steward was in some roles that were demanding.

None so demanding as when he played a nude alien hottie.

No doubt it would have been particularly demanding of viewer’s vision insurance afterwards.

I, too, am somewhat lukewarm on Stewart featuring in an upcoming role. He was well made for his original role as Picard, but now that he's playing an older character, will he be able to bring some nuance to the role? Like Anom, I think Stewart is somewhat limited in his range. Great in the things he is known for, Shakespeare and TNG, but not so good elsewhere. His one note is a good one, but it won't carry him into a different Trek. And I don't really want to see just a rehash of old Trek.

I am also disappointed about it being on CBS All Access.

I think you people are nuts. He does comedy. And well. He was a white supremacist leader in Green room, fantastic and not at all like other roles. Tough guy asshole. As Professor X in Logan he's completely brilliant as a pathetic, senile old man. I mean yes, he's not Gary Oldman the chameleon, but he's not as bad as some of you are making out.

Dying old professor X is nothing like Captain picard, is nothing like him playing a parody of himself in the comedies he'd done, and nothing like his tough guy asshole in Green Room.

It actually happened.
