The idea of an 82-year-old man traversing the universe doesn't sound particularly thrilling, until you reveal that the geezer in question is Sir Patrick Stewart.

The legendary thespian revisited Jean-Luc Picard back in 2020, exploring what the character was up to after retiring from Starfleet. Turns out he's been keeping busy, as Star Trek: Picard was renewed for a second season, and a third one is on its way.

Rather than watching Picard playing dominoes or falling asleep in front of the TV, the show threw him right in at the deep end when the daughter of fallen comrade Data visited him in the first episode.

Since then, he's wound up on various exciting adventures, which are set to continue when Picard returns in February 2023.

He's not coming alone, as he'll be joined by some of his old pals including LeVar Burton, Jeri Ryan, and the absolute lad that is Jonathan Frakes. Five out of five show already.

Despite his advancing years, Stewart still has so much to offer to the role of Picard. If only he'd remember to turn the Enterprise's blinkers off while flying it.
