I know. I remember when TNG came out in 1987. I was just starting college that fall. So long ago. They all still look pretty good though. I would have paid to see another movie. I mean, how old was the original cast back for Star Trek 6?

[Brazoo]

I always thought that Frakes was born to play Orson Wells in a movie.

I knew they were getting up there but I wasn't sure on there exact age. Wow! Too bad they didn't make another Movie

they are not getting old,they are old

[Captain]

In all fairness Patrick Stewart always looked like he was 70. He's like Louis gossett Jr, and Steve Martin....The guys always looked old, even when they werent, so nobody notices as they age.

I still recall my first reaction when I first saw pictures of the then "new" Captain. I couldnt figure out why everyone was saying the original cast was too old for more tv adventures, and then they go and stick this bald old fart in the Captains chair??!!
(luckily the guy could act )

I dont know about "born to" but he's sure been working on fitting the costume.

Maybe I'm just a loser or have bad taste, but sci-fi chicks are always hot it seems regardless of age.

Sirtis has only gotten better with age. Check out some recent pics to see. Very sultry. I'm also partial to Erin Grey from Buck Rogers even at 62. HUbba hubba. Also Maren Jensen from Galactica. I haven't seen her in 30 years, but I bet she still looks fine.

Ditto...I laughed my butt off cause I thought it was a joke at first...LOL
I figured picard would get killed off quickly and ryker would become captain...???
Never happened though...

[Mikey]

I still remember when Next Gen was still in the planning stages, one of the people up for the role of Captain Picard was William Campbell -- aka The Squire of Gothos -Trelane.

I kid you not ... I think I read that in Starlog.

[Meule]

Been that long already, eh? Man, time flies

[Hotfoot]

Data could not make any more appearances. Androids don't age! Saw Insurrection last night and it was apparent Brent should not have been in the movie!

[The Bat]

Ok....now I feel old.

[Riffster]

slap a little hair dye on riker and he's good to go.. this is from last november
