(664 posts)as an advocate for victims of domestic violence! I don't Patrick Stewart personally and I have never met him - I don't know him!
But it means a lot to me, as a survivor of domestic violence, that he understands what I went through and that I did nothing to deserve it!

(23,738 posts)Somehow, the two actors made us believe that the reknowned and dignified Captain Jean Luc Picard could turn into a 'younger brother' in his presence. A remarkably subtle bit of on-screen chemistry.

It is an unexpected but delightful surprise to find myself excited and invigorated to be returning to Jean-Luc Picard and to explore new dimensions within him. Read my full statement in the photo. #StarTrek @cbsallaccess Photo: @shervinfoto

(34,423 posts)"Star Trek" has always been about tolerance, diversity, and good triumphing over evil. We need to be reminded again--even through a television show or movie.

(23,723 posts)Star Trek: Discovery" begins roughly a decade before Captain Kirk's five-year mission.
Star Trek: The Next Generation begins 78 years after the James Kirk era.
I would think it will take them at least a year to get Patrick Stewart's series ready to air.
