Star Trek: Picard


* from imdb.com

Star Trek: Picard, released early this year.  Most heartwarming, entirely lovable.  This television series is right up there with the best of the best in science fiction.  Imagine a 94 year old protagonist with deep moving characterization paired with a simple but compelling story arc.  Throw in excellent special effects, luscious cinematography and moving musical scores, and you will have a winner. Older fans will surely have plenty of reminiscing time with familiar characters and newer fans will find an interesting mix with its fresh crop of actors taking on exciting roles.  I recall reading something about Gene Roddenberry's hesitation to cast Patrick Stewart as captain of the Enterprise, but for this series to be so well anticipated many years after the end of Star Trek: The Next Generation speaks volumes of Sir Patrick's contributions.  I hope they come up with a second season!
