Star Trek: Picard star Jeri Ryan has admitted that she "panicked" when she read the first script for the new spin-off series.

The new CBS series, which picks up with Jean-Luc Picard (Sir Patrick Stewart) some 20 years after the events of 2002's Star Trek: Nemesis, will see Jeri reprise her Star Trek: Voyager role of former Borg drone Seven of Nine.
But a lot has changed in 20 years, and Jeri has revealed that she initially had a difficult time getting her head around the changes that her character has gone through since we last saw her.

"I had a hard time initially," Jeri told Digital Spy and other press recently.
"I was panicked about finding her voice when the first script came out because she's so different. I was worried about how to make her the same character, not just a completely different character who happens to have the same prosthetics.
"But once I figured that out, and that was just an acting thing, I love who she's become," Jeri continued.
"I love what they've written for her. I love her back story. I love what she's had to go through in the last 20 years and what she's survived. And what a badass she is!"

Speaking about her return to the Star Trek franchise at an event last year, Jeri explained that revisiting the character was "freaking terrifying".
"When I got the initial script, and from I knew from the original pitch with James [Duff] a year and a half ago, she is not the same Seven," she reflected.
"She is much more human. She been on Earth for a long time, she has been through a lot. So, when I saw that initial script, and as you saw, 'What the hell are you doing out here?', it's a very, very different voice. And that is what was freaking me out."

Meanwhile, show star Sir Patrick Stewart recently weighed in on a fan theory doing the rounds about Data's appearance in the series, and also broached the topic of the Next Generation cameos.

Unfortunately, it looks like appearances from Data, Riker (Jonathan Frakes), Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) and Hugh the Borg (Jonathan Del Arco) will be the limit at first, but they're not ruling anything out for season 2 (and beyond).
"I am confident that we will be seeing them at some point in the future," Stewart teased.
Star Trek: Picard has a premiere date of January 23, 2020. It will air on CBS All Access in the US and Amazon Prime internationally, including the UK.

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Stars from the world of sci-fi gathered together in Hollywood, California on Monday (Jan. 13) to celebrate the world premiere of the latest spin-off series in the "Star Trek" universe.
"Star Trek: Picard" sees the return of Sir Patrick Stewart starting as Jean-Luc Picard, a character made infamous with "Star Trek" history from the series that began in 1987, "Star Trek: The Next Generation."
Making an appearance in front of the world's press were the cast of "Picard," including "Star Trek" alumni Brent Spiner, Jonathan Del Arco, Jeri Ryan and Marina Sirtis.

The remainder of the cast — Alison Pill, Isa Briones, Evan Evagora, Michelle Hurd, Santiago Cabrera and Harry Treadaway – also attended the event and are all joining the "Star Trek" family for the first time.
Executive producers Alex Kurtzman, Michael Chabon, Akiva Goldsman and Heather Kadin were also there.

"It's amazing," Kurtzman told Space.com. "We've been waiting 18 months for this night, to unleash this on the world and I'm so excited."
"I think [fans] can expect to be surprised, and I think they can expect to see their old captain being Jean-Luc Picard that they remember, but in a very unsurprising way" Kurtzman said. "Patrick did not want to repeat what he had done, yet if you feel the nostalgia for the show, as everyone does, we're going to satisfy that too."

Wilson Cruz, who plays Dr. Hugh Culber in "Star Trek: Discovery" also made an appearance, travelling across the country from Toronto, where Season 3 is being filmed.
Obviously not able to give any details away about the new series, he did say, "It's a whole new world, it's a game changer," and confirmed that a few weeks remained of principal photography.
In addition to media from across the world, a large number of fans had gathered, all of whom were wearing "Star Trek" cosplay, from standard Federation uniforms to the character Q (who was played by John de Lancie) and Guinan (played by Whoopi Goldberg).

Star Trek: Picard's final trailer features the Enterprise's return
By Samuel Roberts a day ago
Stream Picard starting this week
(Image credit: CBS / Amazon)
The almost two-decade wait for Patrick Stewart to reprise his role as Jean-Luc Picard is nearly over, and CBS has released one more extended trailer for Star Trek: Picard ahead of the show's streaming debut on January 23 (January 24 internationally).
You'll be able to spot the Enterprise-D in a brief shot – the ship was previously destroyed in 1994's Star Trek: Generations, and replaced by the Enterprise-E in subsequent spin-off movies based on the Next Generation TV series. The trailer ends with a glimpse of Brent Spiner reprising his role as Data. Check it out:
Picard returns
Picking up 18 years after the events of Star Trek: Nemesis, Star Trek: Picard brings Jean-Luc Picard out of retirement after a young girl seeks his help. It apparently took a lot of convincing to get Stewart to return to the role, and this show looks like a very different proposition to TNG. It's more in line with the high-budget modern drama feel of Star Trek: Discovery, and the producers are no doubt hoping that people other than TNG diehards will check it out.
RECOMMENDED VIDEOS FOR YOU...
TNG fans will have more than just cameos from the Enterprise-D and Data to enjoy: Jeri Ryan reprises her role as Seven of Nine from Star Trek: Voyager, as seen in the trailer above, while Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis return as Riker and Troi. Star Trek: Picard season 2 has already been confirmed, which demonstrates some confidence in this show.
If you're in the US, Star Trek: Picard is exclusively available on CBS All Access from January 23, while all other international territories will be able to watch it on Amazon Prime Video starting on January 24.
Thanks, CBR.

star trek is way better off with picard and his french bulldog than 6.9 of 9.
The best star trek captain is Janeway. Followed by Kirk, Archer, the black guy n picard is the worse. Frog navy is a joke. They have never won against the poms.

Star Trek: Picard review – Patrick Stewart goes guerrilla in skintight velour | Television & radio

Sci-fi’s most venerable hero returns to tackle the universe’s dodgy morals in a long-awaited comeback that’s solid – if not out of this world
Fri 24 Jan 2020 04.00 EST
Do you seek salvation and guidance? Are you hankering for a grownup who can sort everything out? Is leaving Earth and living in space increasingly tempting? Then 2020 might just be the right time for one of science fiction’s most venerable heroes to make a comeback.
Star Trek: Picard (Amazon Prime) is a sequel to Star Trek: The Next Generation, which ran from 1987 to 1994 and has less cultural currency than the inaugural 60s series, but is, for fans, an upgrade on the Shatner/Nimoy years. Some of its kudos was earned by its deeper exploration of humanity and sophisticated ideas about post- and late-capitalist societies. But a lot of it was the appeal of Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard, the starship Enterprise’s captain – a capable negotiator, problem-solver and, when needed, sneaky badass. Sci-fi likes to fantasise about strong, reasonable leaders; Picard is possibly the ultimate. That his show’s reboot has allowed him to go titular is a measure of the imaginary man.
The Jean-Luc we are reunited with, though, is an elderly gent weathered by grief and regret, easing himself through the early 25th century by tending to the soil – or at least, watching self-piloting drones tend to it – at the Picard vineyard in France. He is still the old Picard, steady and pensive, with a profile like a granite backslash, but his time is filled with trivial routine: a walk with his dog, Number One; a decaf Earl Grey from the instant 3D-printing “replicator” (it does the glass mug, too) in the farmhouse; a glug of red wine in the warm dusk.
What went wrong? Enthusiasts who have seen the 2009 film Star Trek or the 2002 flop Star Trek: Nemesis – Stewart’s last appearance as Picard – know the basics already. For the casual viewer, full concentration is required as Captain Exposition takes the controls. The vineyard idyll is disrupted by that old friend of the scriptwriter desperate for an info-dump: a film crew. How does Picard feel, he is asked, about that time he controversially spaffed valuable government resources trying to save millions of enemy Romulan civilians from a supernova?
Pretty narked is how he feels, as we sense the emergence of the Stewart who agreed to revive Picard when he realised a new series could be his riposte to Brexit and Donald Trump. Star Trek’s original vision was an optimistic one, where working for the space force Starfleet meant representing a federation of planets dedicated to integration and diplomacy. Now, adversity has spawned a distressingly 21st-century brand of cruel isolationism. Picard avers that the lives he wanted to save were lives – not “Romulan lives” – and that Starfleet ought to feel shame at having shrunk from its moral duties.
If this makes Star Trek: Picard sound like a counter-productive Remainer podcast, fear not because Jean-Luc has a personal mission to pursue, too. The newly spiteful federation has banned synthetic humans, scapegoating them after a few rogue androids committed a mass atrocity that set Mars on fire. That means more than a brake on scientific progress: it potentially dooms Picard’s departed robotic friend Data (Brent Spiner) to appear only in the dreams that strengthen Picard’s resolve and lead him helpfully to the next plot point. This is no good. Time to haul that skintight velour out of the wardrobe, get the old gang back together and go guerrilla.
Episode one’s other major consignment of necessary information comes when Picard visits friendly boffin Dr Agnes Jurati (Alison Pill), who shares his dismay at the halting of robot research. You can envisage Stewart presenting an urbane pop-science series as, at Picard’s donnish urging, Jurati holds forth on a prohibited new technology that could create entirely lifelike androids. ST:P looks as if it will prowl the same ethical-quandary galaxy as Humans, Westworld and Battlestar Galactica, the last perhaps being the heaviest influence.
In between the ruminative Picard scenes are promising action sequences involving the mysterious Dahj (Isa Briones), an apparently ordinary young woman who is surprised when malign secret agents invade her apartment, and even more surprised when she instinctively knows how to kill them. Those blasts of hand-to-hand combat confirm that Picard exists in the new Trek universe of fast special effects and destructive set pieces. Is that a place where, after a pleasing if not wholly elegant world-building opener, Picard can retain his calm, careful, slightly pompous authority? Faith kept, for now.

Edited :
Solved the problem liao. IIRC, the steps are roughly (maybe try switch around the sequence of steps) : go to Amazon.sg, click on Amazon video, login, change account location from USA to Singapore, then search Picard, then watch.
Officially, word is Americans get to watch Picard via CBS All Access (also available via Amazon), while the rest of the world watches via Amazon Video.
Yet I can't seem to access Picard via Amazon at all.
On Amazon.com, it says you need to watch Picard via Amazon's CBS All Access, but need an American credit card.
On Amazon.sg, it says Picard is not available (search turns up empty).
Anyone knows how to watch Picard on Amazon Video in Singapore (ie. outside USA)?
