The premise of the show is Captain Picard's life and career after the Enterprise; and it will be shown on the CBS subscription channel.  So I won't be seeing it until it hits Netflix a few years from now.

Sounds exciting.  I have a hard time watching episodes of the Next Generation.  Many of them were pretty bad in hindsight.  I would be curious enough to watch an episode or two.

I wonder how that other Star Trek series is doing on the paid CBS channel? I know I'm not the only one who blew it off because I wasn't going to pay for yet another subscription.

Im in the same camp. The one episode they were public with looked marginally interesting. A regular series would have had me tuning in for at least the first 3-4 episode to see how it would play.
Not interested in another subscription.

So it's going to be mostly the VA hospital waiting room, and trying to sort out problems with his pension checks?

"Many of them were pretty bad in hindsight."

Same with just about any TV show, really.

One of my favorites is Night Terrors. It unfortunately makes a lot of lists for one of the worst TNG episodes.

Know what I say to those lists?

Temba, his middle finger extended!

Would the VA be better or worse if the people they were not paid because there was no money?

There are people waiting today who will still be ahead of him in the queue . . .
