How did they get Patrick Stewart to agree to this mess


This show was horrible. Having Patrick Stewart or even Jeri Ryan was not enough to save this junk.

CBS has destroyed Star Trek.

I think Stewart was feeling Nostalgic for his younger days on TNG. He is 81 now and not much more will be coming his way and I think he just wanted to be out there again with something steady. Too bad they killed his character off..

Probably a good sized paycheck.

$$$

Perhaps he was sold on it as being the Logan of the franchise? I'm not sure if he was duped into this character assassination or was a willing participant.

Deceived, you mean.

Most of this mess was his idea.

Money. That's the main reason anyone does anything. Look at the abortion that was J.J. Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy's "Star Wars" sequel disaster. It's all about dollars and cents.

Read his recent interviews. Stewart thought it was important to inject real-world, present-day political concerns into Star Trek. No thanks. l lost quite a bit of respect for Stewart after learning of his agreeing to put pandering politics into the show.

Star Trek has become Woke Trek. Discovery is an absolute, utter, total disaster. After watching that shit, and seeing the trailer for Picard, I didn't even fuck with Picard. I knew it was going to be more nonsense.

As for Patrick Stewart, I think he probably means well, but he's a staunch Leftist. See for yourself:
