I got it but dont care enough to relink.
Its going to be Picard in a fatherly senior type role at like a desk. The series will check in with him from time to time. Its like a reboot of TNG with a younger cast. The other pitch was a shorter series with Picard as the main feature, AGAIN, with the ultimate goal being to reboot a TNG timeline. Whichever pitch they go with just depends on how much of the show is anchored by Picard.
No one besides Picard is involved right now. This is a Picard-centric concept to get the older millennial fans buzzing about Star Trek again.
So you can kill the memes. This is not a reunion show.

Liberties with the movie/book canon. That's a rebooted timeline if the plot details are at odds with what the creators of those works wrote for that time period in any given year of TNG and its being done for a new younger cast.
Star Trek 2009: Picard Remix.
You're choosing to not call it rebooted because you are only taking into consideration the original television show-- that's on you as a personal choice.

So when the crew visits an alternate universe where they all have goatees, that's a reboot? When time travel resets everything to prevent the enterprise form being blowed up, that's a reboot?
While both are cheesy plot devices, they are not reboots because the character development that has happened is still valid. In a reboot captain picard can be a blue alien and have a female james t kirk as his first officer.
I guess it depends on what they do with him, which I don't think we know yet. If he's an admiral coaching a new crew, then at worst it's no more a reboot than what they did to the appearance of klingons ... or to pretty much everything in the enterprise series. If he's back on the enterprise D on his first day taking command, then it'll probably just fucking suck and won't be watched.

Heh, DS9 reference? I remember O'Brian saying that when a Cardassian was asking why they put so much exra shit in the station's systems. They had backups of the backups.

Not particularly. More when Worf got 'killed' at least once the backup systems in klingon biology plot armored him. Came up in ST:TNG originally. Might have been used here or there in DS9.

As I recall, they at least set that up by noting the Klingon biology had numerous extra/backup systems.

I feel so conflicted. On the one hand, fuck them for going anywhere near TNG.
On the other hand if it leads to more content of Patrick Stewart as Picard then I can't really be mad. They can't reboot without him, Patrick Stewart IS Picard. This isn't a kirk situation, where someone else could play him as a younger person. Thinking about Picard without Stewart hurts my brain. It's like anyone else but Hugh Jackman playing wolverine, or Stewart playing professor x, they just embody the character so well.

Mirror universe best universe, proven many times
That story is especially fucked up for Kira as she learns that in a different universe she would become exactly like one of the people she hates more than anyone - Gul Dukat. Vain, brutal, and happy to use her position to sexually exploit those below her.

Mirror universe episodes are the some of the best, in every startrek series - esp Discovery as it kinda centered around it and were /the/ best episodes of that entire mess (and the episodes with Mudd, those rocked)... I don't know if they intended to show that being a big space cuck SJW dooms your race (humans) to hundreds of years of slavery- and you just leave them to deal with it while you go off an make some very lame speech.
DS9 is just awesome all around... deff once Sisco grows his badass goatee and shaves his head and worf shows up.
"StarTrek fans are racist!" - WTF Our favorite series is strongly lead by two black dudes! Erm um fine, SEXIST - wtf DS9 has stronger woman than Janeway with Kira and Dax and hell even baby dax! - Fine, have a black girl named Michael... WTF

Because Avery Brooks has gone nearly insane in his old age. He hasn't done any work since 2006, other than The Captains documentary where you have Shatner interviewing each of the captains. During Avery Brooks' interview, it's like he's in a permanent dazed state from the episode where he found the Bajoran relic and went all crazy....

What is odd is the first captain on Babylon 5 was replaced due to mental illness as well.
