A few years ago I re-viewed a few episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and was reminded how generally bland that series is: including a surfeit of two-dimensional characters. (TNG has not aged well, at all.)
To repeat something I read recently: 'A good actor in a generally thankless role.'
The good news, for some, at least, is this will be a new series; a new shot at the character of Jean-Luc Picard. (His life after his captaincy.)

I'm thinking he becomes the campus gardener at Starfleet Academy, influencing hundreds of later officers with his wisdom and perspective. After all, it was mentioned in the earlier show...
Didn't Ray Walston play a character like that in an episode?
That's it! I was trying to recall who did.
The series had a couple of things to recommend it: Marina Sirtis & Gates McFadden. :-)

As long as they didn't have to act.
Just kidding. They were cast to play poorly-defined and bland characters.
