Patrick Stewart to return as Picard
Discussion
So a new Picard series was announced a few months ago with the 78 year old Patrick Stewart reprising his most famous role as Jean Luc Picard. Set to debut on CBS’s streaming service in the USA, and presumably Netflix in the UK towards the end of 2019.

We don’t know a lot, set 20 years after Nemesis, he’s possibly no longer a Captain. And the destruction of the Romulan home world has deeply affected him. That’s it!
I’m looking forward to it largely because the idea of a post Nemesis timeline is appealing, as it hasn’t been done yet. But, in the same light, I feel we’ve seen as much as was necessary of the TNG crew, so I’m hoping it’s something new and different, as promised.
In a way it would be disappointing if it ended up just being a TNG reunion monster of the week type series.
Can we start speculating yet?

You know what, you have me kind of half concerned. Is it just going to be how Professesor X was in Logan? An old fuddy duddy confined to a care facility, mind is a muddle. Riker comes to break him out to save the Romulan Empire? Because that would likely f
king suck. Picards cannon age would be mid 90’s in this new series....

Can't see it being overly actioney like STD unless picard is in an exoskeleton so he can run around the decks to keep up.
There's going to be a massive disconnect with the previous Picard TV character though. It will be a different character. Excuse: he's older, wiser etc. The reality is the writing under Kurtzman is turd even without being hand-cuffed by the branding/licensing stipulations. Witness STD and its inane and mediocre plot mechanisms. Imagine the slow motion Burnham voice overs read by Stewart for a taste.

I have mixed feelings about the characters, but we'll see...
Also, the destruction of the romulan empire??
Spoiler if you haven't seen Star Trek Nemisis.Also, the destruction of the romulan empire??
The Romulan Senate was destroyed by Shinzon following a rebellion of their Reman slaves.
And the alternate timeline stuff....

Yes in the 2009 reboot film it is acknowledged the Romulan homeworld was destroyed by Nero, before he followed Spock into the alternate universe.
Nah.Romulus was destroyed by a star going supernova. Nero was peeved that Spock got there too late with the red matter to consume the star / nova before it destroyed Romulus and his wife / unborn child with it. It's why his revenge on spock in the abrams movie is to abandon him on that ice moon close enough to vulcan so that Spock would be forced to watch helplessly whilst Vulcan was consumed by the red matter singularity.

Regardless, Romulas was destroyed in the prime universe- the universe we know from the past 50 years of cannon. This series is still set in the same universe. It is well known that CBS are currently unable to use material belonging to Paramount. Therefore we will not be seeing, unless there is a merger, any of the old ships or uniforms, things like that. It will be a different show with a different look. I very much doubt there will be any flashback to TNG.
