OK, so I just found out one of my favorite authors, Michael Chabon, is the showrunner on Picard, and, together with his wife Ayalet Waldman, was the writer of Netflix's Unbelievable. I saw Unbelievable. I want to see Picard, but I've thus far balked at CBS All Access. Now, with Discovery and Chabon's involvment in Picard, I may have to rethink this… |

Wow. He is a fantastic writer. His novel Summerland is a masterpiece (it's about Ragnarok, North American mythology, and… baseball). THAT'S the secret to good Star Trek (or anything else): Hire a great WRITER. I now have much higher hopes for this… |

Hmmm. I fired Chabon after The Yiddish Policeman's Union--a good book spoiled by ideology about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way in. In fairness, I'm not interested in anything involving Jean-luc Picard, and I'm certainly not going to pay for television. But for me, Chabon is a minus and not a plus. (Scalzi would be neutral. Jodi Taylor would be a plus--and if they hired Barbara Hambly or Peter David, I'd probably have to set aside my principles and pay.) |

Jean-Luc would be third or fourth on my list of someone to start a spin off with. Not interested. |

Picard is so old he has the complexion of Data…. |
