A Sense of Doubt blog post #2927 - STNG Reunion on The View with Whoopi Goldberg



A Sense of Doubt blog post #2927 - STNG Reunion on The View with Whoopi Goldberg

Of course, I had to post about this as I am huge Star Trek fan.

I always tell people I am a Star Trek fan over Star Wars, simply because I had many years to fall in love with Star Trek before Star Wars came along. Kind of like whatever album from a beloved band or musician you hear first, often becomes your favorite.

I learned about this reunion after it was televised, so thank goodness for YOU TUBE. I hate that sites like EW only transmit these things with short notice. I know lots of people can work with short notice and actually prefer it. I need lots of advance notice to plan for something like this. In the old days, had I missed recording it, I would have missed it entirely. Now with the Internet, I have many options for catching this reunion, which was just wonderful.

My current problem with all this great pop culture is that my lifestyle keeps my viewing options limited, I am not alone in choosing what to watch, and there's just too much content to keep up on.

I have started Picard three times and not finished the first season and not because I didn't like it. Just time and opportunity. Same with Titans, Sandman, and Star Trek: Discovery. But now with the news of so many STNG and other Star Trek cast members (Seven of Nine) appearing on Picard, I am going to have to make efforts to get it watched.

Thanks for tuning in!



The View





Whoopi Goldberg's love for Star Trek: The Next Generation is written in the stars. The Oscar-winning actress held an epic cast reunion for the beloved sci-fi series on The View — and EW has an exclusive first look at the talk show's transformation for the stellar event.

Airing on Thursday's episode of the ABC talk show as a special pre-recorded edition, the reunion features Goldberg reprising the role of Guinan — whom she played on The Next Generation between 1988 and 1993 — to welcome her Star Trek franchise costars Patrick Stewart (Jean-Luc Picard), Jonathan Frakes (William Riker), Gates McFadden (Beverly Crusher), and Michael Dorn (Worf) to the set.

The View stage also underwent a transformation into the Ten Forward lounge, the famed Star Trek locale where the cast will reflect on their time filming the series together as they prepare to launch the final season of Paramount+'s Star Trek: Picard.

Dorn will seemingly receive a commemorative honor during the segment — co-hosted by Sara Haines and Sunny Hostin — as he's pictured holding a trophy signifying "Most Appearances in Star Trek History."

Stewart previously made headlines for his January 2020 appearance on The View, when he asked Goldberg to come back to the series to play Guinan on Picard's second season. A shocked Goldberg embraced Stewart as the studio audience erupted with applause.

"I've said this on the show before, but Star Trek was one of the great experiences, from the beginning to the end," Goldberg said as tears welled in her eyes. "I had the best, best, best time ever."

Goldberg ultimately accepted Stewart's offer, appearing in two episodes of Picard in 2022.

- Days ago = 2791 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
