I could have sworn y’all did Big Trouble in Little China, but this month’s Watchcast…. I was doing the M. Bison “Yes! Yes!” meme hearing that list. This will probably be my all time favorite Watchcast month!

From an interview with James Mcavoy, he tried to pitch playing a younger Picard on the USS Stargazer at some point and got turned down.

There's definitely an argument for certain kinds of viewers to skip most of seasons 1 and 2 of Next Generation if they're trying to get into Star Trek for the very first time. However, with TOS in your relatively-recent adult memories, it's kind of the best possible way to watch the early episodes of TNG. It's TOS-coded in so many ways at first (recycling a number of Phase II scripts and ideas) and Roddenberry's influence is SO strong, especially in season 1, it's so worth it to watch after TOS.

Also, Brad really owes it to himself to do a proper front-to-back viewing of DS9. It takes TNG's baton and builds on it in ways that nothing else could without that incredible foundation, and I appreciate it now in ways that I simply wasn't capable of as a younger person. It's still boldly and sometimes shockingly relevant in so many respects.
