Yeah perhaps. Honestly I'd watch a TV show of him flying around going on random adventures.

MR> I don't really like any of the other characters in the show.

Yeah...me neither. I didn't realize how much until you said this. They're really just uninteresting, including Picard. Patrick Stewart is so old and frail it kind of ... I dunno how to explain it, but in TNG Picard was such a boss, and now he's a feeble old man. It kind of ruins the luster in a way.

Do you watch any of the other Star Trek shows? Isn't Discovery or something one that's on now and is good? I haven't really watched anything other than TNG.

I don't mind Picard being older. TNG was one of my favorite Star Trek shows, and with Picard it feels like being around someone you've known for a long time, and their age doesn't matter. Same with Riker & Troi (who appeared on Picard) and the rest of the TNG characters.

It seems the majority of viewers dislike Discovery. However, Strange New Worlds is pretty good (they wrapped up its first season several weeks ago).
