Comic-Con 2020 'Star Trek' panel: Marina Sirtis drags 'unbearable' Patrick Stewart, fans say 'she's in top form'
Season 1 of 'Star Trek: Picard' ended on a positive note after a tumultuous few episodes. Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) who was suffering from a brain abnormality throughout the season, died and then was brought back as a synth. Using Picard's engrams, which were taken at the moment of death and stored in the simulation where Data had been living, Picard was resurrected as a synth. They brought him back healthy, minus the brain abnormality and introduced an algorithm into his synthetic body which will now allow Picard to age and die like a normal 94-year-old human. Apart from this, the synth ban, that had been imposed after the rogue Mars insurrection has been lifted and so now, the synths can be created and are free to move through the universe.
At present, there's no concrete date on when Season 2 will be aired, due to the coronavirus pandemic. We can just hope it is some time in 2021.
On Day2 of Comic-Con 2020, the 'Star Trek: Picard' cast reunited to answer fans' questions about the upcoming Season 2 and Stewart's return to the role of Picard after nearly two decades. There was much fun and joking around and fans thoroughly enjoyed Marina Sirtis aka Deanna Troi roasting Stewart on the panel. Many of the stars called him 'SPS' (Sir Patrick Stewart) and fans can't get enough of it.
Sirtis didn't let anyone praise Stewart and said that he would become 'unbearable'. "Everyone on the panel keeps talking about how amazing Sir Patrick Stewart is and Marina Sirtis is like “STOP! He’s going to be unbearable!”#StarTrekPicard #SDCCatHome," a fan quoted.
"@Marina_Sirtis is on top form.... I was the Cowboy sod you on lot!!! #StarTrekPicard #ComicConAtHomeExperience #StarTrek," a fan tweeted, quoting her.
"How fantastic is Marina Sirtis in the #StarTrekPicard cast reunion on #ComicConAtHomeExperience with her Spurs mug on full display. #StarTrek #SDCC #SDCC2020," another wrote.
"My favourite part of the #StarTrekPicard portion of the #StarTrekSDCC panel was when Marina Sirtis mentioned she was glad to be back on Star Trek but to not have to wear a 'spacesuit' and there you just see Jeri Ryan clapping to that as well!" another tweeted.
"I forgot how much fun @Marina_Sirtis could be at a convention panel. It's been a hot minute since I've seen her on one. Can't wait to see her live again," tweeted another.
"I love Marina Sirtis even more now than I did when I was a child. I am so here for her dragging #SPS on this #StarTrekPicard cast interview," tweeted another.
