I haven't even read the details of post, but I love him, so that's mostly awesome. However....I can't help but notice that he's lost a step or two. That's not a slight, and I attribute it to age, which nips us all before that last big bite. Now I'm gonna read the op.

Also, I haven't watch the new ST series, nor the 3rd of the new movies ( or Enterprise for that matter ). But from what I think I know, my head is spinning at the timeline/continuity implications of this series.

Maybe this guy can make sense of it.

I've never liked or cared for star trek, but no denying this is pretty damn cool. Patrick Stewart is the man.

Only on CBS all access? Not interested.

It kind of sounds like the Star Trek I wanted in the first place.

Of course, I seem to remember that he was inevitably going to face the Star Trek equivalent of alzheimer's in his old age, which I'd think would be right now... wonder if they'll avoid that or deal with that?

Otherwise, he'd be retired I'd imagine, or an admiral at the very least... very curious to see what they're planning!

Right when the Universe needed some serious facepalm!   

Awesome. Patrick Steward’s great! Curious if there will be other old characters coming back.
