new CBS streaming show

At first I thought this read "steaming" show, as in steaming pile of . . .

Looks like he's politically like Lenin, as well.

He was good as Karla in the BBC production of Smiley's People. Of course, he didn't have a single line of dialogue.

in a new CBS streaming show

Yeah. CBS taking a p*ss on America once again.

[DoughtyOne]

Imagine displaying this much loyalty to the EU, and so much contempt for the UK. Patrick, you’re of less value to the human race than a box of bananas.

[Rummyfan]

The original Star Trek was a “wagon train to the stars”. The Next Generation was a “community college faculty meeting”.

LOL! True.

The one episode that really jumped the shark for me was the one where one of the crew members got “hooked” on the holodeck. Let us be honest. If such a device actually existed, we’d ALL be hooked.

I’d visit Barbara Eden in there every day and I’d never have gotten married or had kids. :)

Seriously.

Good work Pat, ensuring that millions will never tune in.

[fhayek]

Yup. I was kind of looking forward to it. Don’t need to be lectured to.

[Ouchthatonehurt]

Never trusted him after the Borg incident.

[Spruce]

Son of a ....

Now I can’t even attempt to watch.

[longfellow]

Picard is french for dildo with ears.

[Magnum44]

As much as I like the movies with the original crew, your statement is pretty much right.

[right way right]

Well then Captain. Prickhard, it sounds like the new movie will be a flop.

[MNJohnnie]

Will not last a whole season. The original “Next Generation” was insipid but based on this, this one is going to be even worse

No surprise here. My long standing adage is the default position of celebs is whacko lib until proven otherwise. His tendencies were confirmed long ago.

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

His thinking is very queer but he is not a homosexer. He is however, a typical champagne socialist. I certainly won't be watching this show. If I watch any 'space opera', it will be 'The Orville', if it is still on and is carried over the air in Kanadahar.

[Antoninus]

Why is it that these leftist pantomimes can’t express themselves without using the f-bomb all over the place. It speaks to a want of creativity if you ask me.

[reg45]

He played a Frenchman on ST:TNG. No wonder he is opposed to Brexit. Brexit will allow Brits to be Brits not Eurotwits.

[Sans-Culotte]

Pretty funny. I remember when TNG first came out. I called it “Star Trek for women”.

I was really excited when it started, but found the stories uninteresting. Once they introduced the Borg, the entire show picked up. I think it ultimately had at least as many good episodes as the original series. Interesting that they had to have the first Officer Riker on hand to supply the manliness that was lacking in Picard/Stewart.

Never cared for Star Trek 2 or whatever it was referred to. Me neither. Star Trek: The Next Generation

There was one thing that kept me watching...
