Iconic character makes a comeback in the trailer for ‘Star Trek: Picard’

It looks like we’re seeing Sir Patrick Stewart playing one of his most memorable roles soon. CBS just showed the full trailer for its upcoming series, Star Trek: Pickard. Stewart will be returning as Jean-Luc Pickard, who somehow finds himself drawn out of retirement when he’s approached by a young woman who needs his help. It will take place more than 20 years after the events of Star Trek: The Next Generation, which aired between 1987 and 1994, as well as after its film sequels Generations (1994), First Contact (1996), Insurrection (1998), and Nemesis (2002).

You will see some familiar faces reprising their roles. These include Commander William Riker, played by Jonathan Frakes; Deanna Troi, played by Marina Sirtis; Data, played by Brent Spiner; a former Borg drone named Hugh, played by Jonathan Del Arco; and Seven of Nine from Star Trek: Voyager, played by Jeri Ryan. The series will also feature Alison Pill, Harry Treadaway, Isa Briones, Santiago Cabrera, and Michelle Hurd. Star Trek: Picard is set to debut early 2020 on CBS All Access in the US. But here it will stream on Bell Media’s Space and OTT service Crave.

HBO teases its upcoming ‘Watchmen’ series

Don’t expect it to be a direct adaptation of Alan Moore’s classic 1986 graphic novel or even Zack Synder’s 2009 film version. Damon Lindelof’s version of Watchmen will take place in the same world. It won’t be a sequel though. He likens it to being the New Testament to the original twelve issues being the Old Testament. But from the trailer that was shown at San Diego Comic-Con, it looks like we’ll see some familiar faces. Rorschach appears alongside new costumed heroes. There will be references to previous vigilante fighters that longtime fans of the series will recognize. Watchmen will be premiering in October, and it is setting itself up to be the next big thing from HBO.

As the name suggests, it displays song lyrics while the music is playing. Revamping the silver and black design, the limited edition version is all black and features to square-ish panels placed on top of each other. When placed against a wall they look like vinyl record jackets. The rear panel serves as the actual speaker, while the one in front displays the lyrics. It’s slightly bigger than an actual record sleeve at 18.7 by 14.7 inches tall.
