Star Trek was the reason why Whoopi wanted to be a actress. It was her first time seeing a black woman in space before that she thought black people didn’t live in space. This means so much to her
Gene Roddenberry always had a fondness for Black women. Like Whoopi said Guinan was the last character he created. If you look at the other shows there were no strong leading Black female characters. With the exception of Discovery.
What makes it even awesome was that Whoopi's character Guinan was only supposed to have been in for one season and that was it as the bartender/manager of Ten Forward. However because she became such good friends with the likes of Frakes, Spiner and Stewart to name a few; they insisted she stay on for the future seasons and that's what she did, even having a cameo in the Enterprise B scene in Generations.
When she was at a convention she said she wanted to be in the new Star Trek. Discovery wouldn't have made sense for her, but to be with Picard again makes all the sense in the world. Congratulations Whoopi.
@@susiefairfield7218 can u imagine Guinan, Picard, Riker and Troi sitting around a Living room reminiscing over lost friends and family?!? Would be an awesome scene
I almost posted something, but realized it might be a spoiler. Those who know about the new show, let's not spool anyone who hasn't seen the trailers and stuff.
In an TV Guide interview for Star Trek's 25th anniversary,Patrick Stewart admitted that he wasn't sure what Whoopi would do after TNG ended,not because she didn't have any career prospects but because she was so talented and multifaceted that her horizons were limitless.
If Whoopi Goldberg is actually returning to Star Trek during Star Trek: Picard, I fully expect to finally get the answer as to what Q did that made her so angry with him! Just my two cents.
We know that the El-Aurian homeworld was destroyed by the Borg. I have always wondered if Q had something to do with that (in a similar way to how he transported the Enterprise to Borg space to teach Picard a lesson).
I wouldn't want them to answer too much. She was always aloof and mysterious, and that was part of what worked so well. Picard didn't turn to her to find out the who, what, where, when, why answers, he went to her for wisdom.
More than likely Q did to Guineans people what Q did to us. Introduced us to the borg. But from what we’ve seen in the franchise they were not able to fend them off.
We have to remember, the Borg are native to the Delta Quadrant. Is Guinan’s race from that far away? And if they are, why did Voyager not encounter them? Or did the survivors make it out to the Alpha Quadrant somehow?

You could feel it was done without love, Patrick Stewart did it just for the money, you could see his acting was terrible, he couldn't care less. That's why i hate it. It's the first star trek show ever i can't watch a second time. It was always like - next week is the big reveal - and next week the same, it felt like you were given empty present boxes.

And one more thing: i hate this 10 episodes (or less) per season format. 30 years ago they were able to do 26 ep a seasons - something we can only dream of today.
The irony is that something similar happened to Patrick Stewart in an interview shortly after "The Next generation" came out because of his hair (or lack of it). He was asked something like, "wouldn't they have discovered a cure for baldness by the 24th century?" His reply: "In the 24th century, they wouldn't care." Love Whoopi's hair the way it is. She looks classy.
She still has that same smile she had 20 years ago when she and Patrick were on the Arsenio Hall show. It's likes she is 13 years old all over again. Its like her face lights up whenever Patrick is around her. Amazing.
@@visceratrocar well the mistery is part of the attraction, her species being not explored and the Q even to some level fearing them. Besides that she's just very well written dialogue wise, and very well acted. When she talked to tasha, wesley, worf, picard, every character, she always gives sound sage advice. When you can enjoy a dialogue that is mostly quiet, without threats or even arguments. Combine all that with rare cameos you just get a very well liked character. Just watch back and jog your memory.
I love that scene, too! It was the motivating kick in the pants he needed to come up with his unorthodox plan. Yes, I know the show is not real...so what, I love it!
This seriously has me smiling like a kid. Growing up in American during the 80s and 90s was a special time. It was when we started to see ourselves represented in media regularly. Her role on Star Trek showed us a possible future where we were truly participants. So happy to see her come back.
I sort of agree with you. I've always liked Guinan's character for that reason. U'hura was really a more important character in that first series and that was in the 70s. So Star Trek had already broken ground in that sense.
I loved the fact that her charecter had such clairvoyance that even Diana would confide in her. Man seeing her back on the show seems just right. I did wish there was more dialogue between her and Worf.
I thought you wrote "and now she is black" and I was like "uhh what? Now? People are born with their skin colour" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 It was my incorrect reading, apparently, oops!
@@jamiewilliamson9829 I know what she said. That is her public statement about Star Trek. I have seen the private side and they do not match up. If you read my reply below.
Sir Patrick's enthusiasm is like a man at his High School reunion. And it's contagious since it seems everybody wants to come back and continue their stories.
The sincerity and intensity on his face when he invited her was genuine. That was not for the cameras they seem to genuinely want her to appear on the show.
Just read this , when she put her head down at 2:01 that smile reminded me of that shy head down whoopi from that movie , I was taken back some years . Must watch it again :)
I'm a diehard TNG fan too but Whoopi being such an elitist slanderous bully towards progressives completely turned me off of Guinan. and I'd originally loved the character. I'm not going to pay for the second season.
@@aryastark3148 Yet you'll subscribe to the young Turks where Cenk Uygur has multiple times laughed and said "no big deal" over men getting raped? Yea you're judgement of who, based on how they treat people, is acceptable to watch and who isn't ain't exactly something yo write home about either.
He is amongst some of the coolest and pleasent folks we have still in our lives. When he smiles it's quite a site I was TNG the other day it was the 'I, Borg' episode
Kujakuseki01 I agree, I hope they introduce some insights into Guinan’s family and the world she came from and was destroyed by the Borg always felt they left so much out.
@@lynx2cross would be interesting if we get to find out Discovery was the ones who rescued her from the Borg, and always wondered how exactly was the first meeting of Q and "U" ( Quinan as maybe Q did not say "you" )
Weird, my comment stating Whoopi is still able to play ageless seems to have been deleted, of all the toxic comments on TH-cam, that gets deleted? 🤦♀️
Tears in my eyes. Woopi is such a great actress. From color purple to startrek. I'm truly grateful to be able to live this revival of the franchise. Patrick Stewart is a very dear man.
Star Trek: The Next Generation was way ahead of it's time in talking about very same issues that we face as society today. It also brought plenty of diversity into it's casting choices which was made it stand out during the time. Will always appreciate this fact and that's why TNG remains such a good show despite its age.
@@jameslucas3161 The original series had some diversity as well, but how does that negate TNG's diversity? Granted, there was no asian character on TNG to match Sulu, but there were two black characters (and I'm not even counting Guinan as a recurring guest) compared to the original series one. TNG also initially had three female main characters (dropped to two after the first season) to the original series one (and I don't equate white women with people of color, but in terms of general diversity, it's something). Neither had a latino main character, unfortunately. Thinking about it, I suppose that Voyager had the most racially diverse cast, although it wasn't as good of a show as TNG (though it should be said that TNG is my favorite TV show of all time). And on the issues, Rick is absolutely right. One of the things I love about TNG is how unapologetically scientific and rational it is in the early seasons (later on they did kowtow a little to spiritualism, though not completely, unlike DS9 which literally ends with black jesus versus cardassian antichrist). The original Trek series actually snuck in some Christian propaganda (that sun worship episode, which Kirk later understands to mean "son" as in son of god), which didn't really make sense. But anyhow, a lot of other social, political, and just frankly human issues are there, just as many were in the original series. Certainly TNG episodes like "The Measure of a Man" still speak to racial issues, "The High Ground" speaks to issues with terrorism, and "The Outcast" puts the shoe on the other foot in terms of gay rights.
TNG was not new in that respect. Star Trek ALWAYS dealt with issues far ahead of its time. The original series broke ground again and again on social issues. TNG was just following in its footsteps. Don't try to teach your grandma to suck eggs, youngster.
The issue is that Rick was talking as if TNG was the first show to do that. It was not, and it would be nice if TNG fans would own up to the fact that their favorite show was NOT the groundbreaker in this regard.
I'm not even a Trekkie but I just loved seeing Whoopi's smile and that bear hug she gave Patrick Stewart. It's everything! She deserves every bit of this goodness. Dreams do come true.
Guinan was the "sounding board" trope, but Whoopi put so much more into it than that. Her best acting of her career if you ask me. Much of it nonverbal.
As a die-hard Trekkie, I cried tears of joy at this news. Whoopi was magnificent, iconic even as Guinan on Star Trek TNG. Sir Patrick Stewart, I just love this man. I'm looking forward to watching Picard.
@@davidkruse4030 thats what I liked about star trek, remember Sulu his actor was gay (the TOS one) , but the thing was if his character was gay, it quite literally would have made no almost no difference to the character,
That was indeed the whole point of the show - and a reason all the series have such staying power. I think deep down the vast majority want to believe people as a whole can be a lot better than what we are or have been.
@@davidkruse4030 Wow... It's like you never watched Star Trek at all. Star Trek has always worn its politics on its sleeves. Always. Yes, it often used sci-fi analogies, but the messages were never subtext.
@@JanetStarChild While it has always been progressive, it was never 'woke' in the ways of today. They were always subtle. There are many examples, but i'll use the TNG episode 'first contact': where a character from a genderless species starts to think she is female and wants a relationship with a crew member. Now in the context, is that about homosexuality or is it about transexuals? The end the character gets converted to the norm for her race and says she's happy about it, we don't actually know if that is a good thing or not, we might have thought she didn't need 'fixing' but then maybe for their people she genuinely did. It's a situation that is left open and up for debate. Today's sci-fi would have had a clear message about what it was about, they wouldn't have been 'converted' at the end or if they were, it would have been reversed after it turned out the race were evil in someway. The moral would have been beaten over our heads. Trek was show don't tell, it was philosophical. New trek tells everything in case the audience don't get it, and never leaves room for depth of thought or discussion. The politics are the same, the execution was different. Progressive shows egalitarianism and treats everyone as normal without making a fuss about it, 'woke' belittles one type of person to elevate another and makes the differences and 'progressive' ideas more important than telling a good story with good characters. The latter often results in the opposite reaction, which is the real reason why woke is so bad as it does not achieve what it claims it wants to. People don't like being told what to think or preached to, even if they are part of the choir.
@MonkeyZorr As a Trekkie, I love Star Trek Picard and think it is a wonderful show, and I am extremely excited that Whoopi will be bringing Guinan to Season 2.
Sitting at my desk, getting misty.....soooooo happy for Whoopi! Can't wait to see the show. I was excited about Picard, but this puts the icing on the cake. Congratulations!!!!
As a huge Star Trek fan, a huge TNG fan, and a huge Patrick Stewart fan, I think 2 words describe Whoopi Goldberg’s portrayal of Guinan:- Class and Dignity.
@@neily25 - They flushed her out a lot between Time's Arrow episode and the Generations movie....but I'd really like to know more about her. ESPECIALLY why Q was afraid of her in the show....she must have some sort of powers that they never explored. By the way....hope Q comes back. hahaha
“She has to get rid of that hair on her head now, right? Tell her that.” Lol oh Joy!!! Reminds me of a shady Aunty you are always avoiding at family get togethers. Love her though 😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰
Whoopi was in Stephen King's 'The Stand'. She plays a 100+ year old. She wouldn't need to remove her new extensions for Star Trek because her character wore a hair covering.....from what I can remember from the 90s.
Yep, Shady for sure and she touched her hair. No no touching our hair. That really made me loose it. Picking up her hair and then saying that comment. Not feeling it.
The hair is for a movie she is currently filming. She has to keep it in until February...she said so on The View a couple of months ago. So no worries it’s temporary 😂
Why am I WEEPING? This is the BEST for me as a TNG Trekkie. Whoopi as Guinan has always been one of my favorite characters in history because she’s wisdom.
Plus , I’m not understanding, they ruined Star Trek with lefty narratives? I must be not understanding you! Star Trek is about all planets uniting( Picard), is excluded from this. The planets that were in the federation had different politics , races, religions, sexes, so I don’t get the leftish agenda. Star Trek was leftish, but perhaps I’m just not understanding, because how could U watch a series & not understand the basic premise ; according to me & I could be wrong
I can’t believe how emotional I got watching this! Whoopi is an icon and was a huge part of my childhood. So to see her getting work and the glee on her face makes me so tearfully happy
Are all y'all alright? 🤨 The comment by I am my own self is saying that Whoopi is a legend in East Africa, where this person is likely working or living. 🙄 Obviously, this person is a fan, too.
I legitimately teared up at this! I love both of them and I love that Trek hasn't forgotten Whoopi and what it means to her. 😊 Also, I don't watch this show, but the woman sitting opposite Whoopi clearly has no idea what Trek means to her. She was talking about "millions of fans", or some such nonsense.
I've never seen a genuinely continuous smile like the one Whoopi had..., that was so sweet..., I was happy for her. I loved Guinan in TNG, I think we all did. 🤗
bambadabamba it just shows who’s the more genuine co-worker and true friend in that group.you can see so much jealousy spewing from the rest of their faces towards her recognition but she has what they don’t “talent”.
Previous month I was able to pull my first five figure check ever!!! I've been working for this provider on-line for 2 years now and I never been happier... They are paying me $95 per hour, and the best thing regarding this is the fact I am not that tech-savvy, they just asked for basic understanding of internet and elementary typing skill...Great thing about this work is that I have more free time with my family. I am in a position to spend quality time with my friends and family and look after my babies and also going on vacation with them very routinely. Don't ignore this chance and try to act fast. Here is what I do *grab26.com*
I've seen her often in emotional moments and I've been lucky enough to meet her several times. I've never seen her quietly overcome with joy like this. Beautiful moment for a spectacular human legend.
Joyless Blowhard [along with most Leftists] doesn’t even realize her racist tendencies; it oozes out of her. And then she touches Whoopi’s hair and asks, “Does she have to get rid of the hair **thing**?” NEVER touch a black woman’s hair uninvited.
OH MY GOD I just realised I really hope Seven doesn't die because it would be a dream come true to see Seven and Guinan meet eachother and interact. They're two of my absolute favourites!
I am not ashamed to say that I got super emotional and cried when Sir Patrick made the offer to her...I really do hope that they will further explore Guinan's character, background and her history and how she and JLP first met. #picard #guinan#startrek #startrekfan #excited
This was one of the most beautiful things to see!!! 💞💞💞 I loved Guinan and modeled my teaching style after her...Sir Stewart is always amazing and real. Lovely!!😍
Well, Star Trek was the reason she went into acting. She's been repeatedly cited as having cited Nichelle Nichols as her inspiration because of what that role meant at that time and moving forward
She wanted to be in Star Trek so much that she would've been happy to be a background character....But Guinan was written for her...and we are grateful for that, Guinan is one of my favourite characters
@@Mazikeen1809 Remember that she was a mega-star in the 80s? So much so that they did not believe that she wanted to be in the show, when Levar mentioned it to Gene. They actually had to meet to be convinced that she wanted in.
This was so cool. How she was invited to return in the second season and accepted. I always like her original character. She played it so well. Congratulations, Whoopi Goldberg!! We look forward to seeing you act again soon. Stay well.

Its funny that Joy even said that, since Whoopi (Guinan) had braids back then. So why would she take them out now? Foot in mouth lol.

Pretty sure he could be labelled a racist or sexist or something if he said anything else though, right?

Patrick Stewart: "She can do whatever the h*ll she wants." A great response to Whoopi's messy colleague.
EXACTLY!
Lifecoach Mediations For Joy to bring it up was so unnecessary.
Yeah I didn’t like that. Why do they care about our hair SOOO much?
I didnt like how she mentioned whoopi's hair. She need to stfu. Whoopi looks good.
The irony is that something similar happened to Patrick Stewart in an interview shortly after "The Next generation" came out because of his hair (or lack of it). He was asked something like, "wouldn't they have discovered a cure for baldness by the 24th century?" His reply: "In the 24th century, they wouldn't care." Love Whoopi's hair the way it is. She looks classy.
It's nice to see that after all these years she is able to be so humble and grateful.
Yeeesssss😢💚
This is so beautiful when Patrick Stewart gave Whoppi Goldberg the reunion invite. I'm in tears.
Or when Adventure and Fantasy from The Pagemaster both reunite!
She still has that same smile she had 20 years ago when she and Patrick were on the Arsenio Hall show. It's likes she is 13 years old all over again. Its like her face lights up whenever Patrick is around her. Amazing.
Funny you said that. I was thinking the same but I thought of The Color Purple. Haven't seen her smile like that since. Glad she's coming back.
Indeed. I adore Sir Stewart so I’d be cheesing ear to ear as well.
This was almost like a marriage proposal.
Everyone, she said "YES"!
This was classy, I think. A formal request on The View of which Whoopi was a part.
Great analogy
Eduardo Mendez guinan and jean luc? yes thank you please! best acting interplay fun i reckon! i always liked her on the show... so much fun
Guinan seemed to be one of a handful of people Captain Picard held in high regard, perhaps even the one he respected the most, imho.
I could see that through the on screen chemistry between Patrick Stewart and Woopie
And you know the new season will at least be fun with Guinan AND Q!
I never understood it. Nothing against either character. She was only in a few episodes and it just wasn't explained well.
@@visceratrocar It’s because she always seemed to give the best advice exactly when people needed to hear it.
@@visceratrocar well the mistery is part of the attraction, her species being not explored and the Q even to some level fearing them. Besides that she's just very well written dialogue wise, and very well acted. When she talked to tasha, wesley, worf, picard, every character, she always gives sound sage advice. When you can enjoy a dialogue that is mostly quiet, without threats or even arguments. Combine all that with rare cameos you just get a very well liked character. Just watch back and jog your memory.
The episode where Guinan counsels Riker as they are preparing to face the Borg after assimilating Picard is one of my all-time favorites.
Guinan was better Councillor than Troi lol. XD
I love that scene, too! It was the motivating kick in the pants he needed to come up with his unorthodox plan. Yes, I know the show is not real...so what, I love it!
That's your chair, Captain.
@steve hazard Steve, why you watching the view?! Lol.
I LOVED her on that show!!!
This seriously has me smiling like a kid. Growing up in American during the 80s and 90s was a special time. It was when we started to see ourselves represented in media regularly. Her role on Star Trek showed us a possible future where we were truly participants. So happy to see her come back.
I sort of agree with you. I've always liked Guinan's character for that reason. U'hura was really a more important character in that first series and that was in the 70s. So Star Trek had already broken ground in that sense.
He will always be gunny to me. Shi Halude
I loved the fact that her charecter had such clairvoyance that even Diana would confide in her. Man seeing her back on the show seems just right. I did wish there was more dialogue between her and Worf.
...hopefully bearing in mind of course that people of color were regularly featured on the original Trek in the 60's...
Also in Europe we grow up with this wonderfull kind of entertainment. Can't wait to see Picard, Will, Data, Guinen again!
"YES" Whoopie... you go girl
CONGRATULATIONS...
This was great news
She a plantation mamy
So thrilled for her to return to Guinan!
She was a fan! Thats the best part, she was a fan, and she did the show whenever she could, and now she is back. Awesome.
She was not a fan. That is Hollywood talk.
I thought you wrote "and now she is black" and I was like "uhh what? Now? People are born with their skin colour" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It was my incorrect reading, apparently, oops!
@@spockvskhan4561 She has said in interviews that she watched TOS in the 60s with her family and loved Uhura.
@@jamiewilliamson9829 I know what she said. That is her public statement about Star Trek. I have seen the private side and they do not match up. If you read my reply below.

Sir Patrick's enthusiasm is like a man at his High School reunion. And it's contagious since it seems everybody wants to come back and continue their stories.

And why not. It’s long overdue!
I am happy to see Whoopi acting bc that's how we all fell in love with her.
@ Even though that is your right, it's sounds like a you problem. And secondly, she is no one's mammy.
@@nunook5522 That guy was just letting you know how racist he is.
The sincerity and intensity on his face when he invited her was genuine. That was not for the cameras they seem to genuinely want her to appear on the show.
Im choked up, seeing her choked up. This is so great! She was so great. I can't wait to see this show.
Whoopi with that smile immediately reminded me of her in the Color Purple
Just read this , when she put her head down at 2:01 that smile reminded me of that shy head down whoopi from that movie , I was taken back some years . Must watch it again :)
Guinan was a cornerstone of TNG and Star Trek lore. GIVE THE WOMAN WHAT SHE DESERVES!
I sincerely hope her coming back means Q is coming back too.
Uhh yea when I think Star Trek I think whooppiii

Absolutely
I hope we get to see power setting 2
Its such wonderful news. Some of the best scenes in all of trek were between Picard and Guinan and I'm THRILLED to see them reunited
I'm a diehard TNG fan too but Whoopi being such an elitist slanderous bully towards progressives completely turned me off of Guinan. and I'd originally loved the character. I'm not going to pay for the second season.

what a lovely man Patrick is !
may vasy So true!!
He is amongst some of the coolest and pleasent folks we have still in our lives. When he smiles it's quite a site I was TNG the other day it was the 'I, Borg' episode
That's Sir Patrick Stewart if you please. The Queen knighted him. And yes, he's definitely a lovely man.
I do hope they don’t fully reveal everything about Guinan. The mystery is part of what makes it awesome.
Kujakuseki01 I agree, I hope they introduce some insights into Guinan’s family and the world she came from and was destroyed by the Borg always felt they left so much out.
Guinan is, quote, "Troi with a hat". And it's true!! lmao
@@lynx2cross would be interesting if we get to find out Discovery was the ones who rescued her from the Borg, and always wondered how exactly was the first meeting of Q and "U" ( Quinan as maybe Q did not say "you" )
Weird, my comment stating Whoopi is still able to play ageless seems to have been deleted, of all the toxic comments on TH-cam, that gets deleted? 🤦♀️
I wanna know everything!!!!
Tears in my eyes. Woopi is such a great actress. From color purple to startrek. I'm truly grateful to be able to live this revival of the franchise. Patrick Stewart is a very dear man.
Aww Whoopi has a great smile. Love the hug between her and Sunny too
"Picard is 18 years older, Patric Stewart is 18 years older..."
C'mon Patrick, don't start acting your age now. Rage against the dying of the light!
I'm glad he embraces getting older. It's apart off life.
There are four lights!!
He's not that good of an actor. Age is a factor.
I doubt even Christian bale could act younger as an old man.
There are Four lights
He can still do one handed pushups. I think he's fine.
Star Trek: The Next Generation was way ahead of it's time in talking about very same issues that we face as society today. It also brought plenty of diversity into it's casting choices which was made it stand out during the time. Will always appreciate this fact and that's why TNG remains such a good show despite its age.
Um, I think you mean The Original Series...
@@jameslucas3161 The original series had some diversity as well, but how does that negate TNG's diversity? Granted, there was no asian character on TNG to match Sulu, but there were two black characters (and I'm not even counting Guinan as a recurring guest) compared to the original series one. TNG also initially had three female main characters (dropped to two after the first season) to the original series one (and I don't equate white women with people of color, but in terms of general diversity, it's something). Neither had a latino main character, unfortunately. Thinking about it, I suppose that Voyager had the most racially diverse cast, although it wasn't as good of a show as TNG (though it should be said that TNG is my favorite TV show of all time).
And on the issues, Rick is absolutely right. One of the things I love about TNG is how unapologetically scientific and rational it is in the early seasons (later on they did kowtow a little to spiritualism, though not completely, unlike DS9 which literally ends with black jesus versus cardassian antichrist). The original Trek series actually snuck in some Christian propaganda (that sun worship episode, which Kirk later understands to mean "son" as in son of god), which didn't really make sense. But anyhow, a lot of other social, political, and just frankly human issues are there, just as many were in the original series. Certainly TNG episodes like "The Measure of a Man" still speak to racial issues, "The High Ground" speaks to issues with terrorism, and "The Outcast" puts the shoe on the other foot in terms of gay rights.
TNG was not new in that respect. Star Trek ALWAYS dealt with issues far ahead of its time. The original series broke ground again and again on social issues. TNG was just following in its footsteps. Don't try to teach your grandma to suck eggs, youngster.
The issue is that Rick was talking as if TNG was the first show to do that. It was not, and it would be nice if TNG fans would own up to the fact that their favorite show was NOT the groundbreaker in this regard.
what about whoopie standing up for pedophile rapist polanski? google it
Seeing the entire cast back together is wonderful but when Patrick invited Whoopi back, hard not to cry tears of joy!
i'm so happy Sir.Patrick Stewart is such a down to earth human being and to invite Whoopi its with so much joyf!
I'm not even a Trekkie but I just loved seeing Whoopi's smile and that bear hug she gave Patrick Stewart. It's everything! She deserves every bit of this goodness. Dreams do come true.
pagielicious ME TOO!!!
pagielicious Halle Berry, love him too!! The X- men..
Whoopis reaction to this is so heart warming it make me tear up, I loved the episodes with Guinan, for an alien she makes it so human.
I hope she has more then a "let's have dinner" kind of role
I never knew Guinan was an alien. She was one of my favorite characters/crew members when she was on screen.
@@quickgirl80 she's an El-Aurian and is hundreds of years old.
Guinan is so wise and kind and has such a beautiful energy... I’m SO excited to see her return!
Guinan was the "sounding board" trope, but Whoopi put so much more into it than that. Her best acting of her career if you ask me. Much of it nonverbal.
As a die-hard Trekkie, I cried tears of joy at this news. Whoopi was magnificent, iconic even as Guinan on Star Trek TNG. Sir Patrick Stewart, I just love this man. I'm looking forward to watching Picard.
Tomorrow evening at 9 pm Eastern Time. I have already set my PVR to record it.
Me too!!!
Glad I'm not the only one that cried lol

@@SeansModelBuilds loser
From its beginnings, Star Trek was a model of diversity, where everyone was respected and held to high standards.
yes and it wasnt pushed down our throats. Unlike todays society
@@davidkruse4030 thats what I liked about star trek, remember Sulu his actor was gay (the TOS one) , but the thing was if his character was gay, it quite literally would have made no almost no difference to the character,
That was indeed the whole point of the show - and a reason all the series have such staying power. I think deep down the vast majority want to believe people as a whole can be a lot better than what we are or have been.
@@davidkruse4030
Wow... It's like you never watched Star Trek at all.
Star Trek has always worn its politics on its sleeves. Always.
Yes, it often used sci-fi analogies, but the messages were never subtext.
@@JanetStarChild While it has always been progressive, it was never 'woke' in the ways of today. They were always subtle. There are many examples, but i'll use the TNG episode 'first contact': where a character from a genderless species starts to think she is female and wants a relationship with a crew member. Now in the context, is that about homosexuality or is it about transexuals? The end the character gets converted to the norm for her race and says she's happy about it, we don't actually know if that is a good thing or not, we might have thought she didn't need 'fixing' but then maybe for their people she genuinely did. It's a situation that is left open and up for debate. Today's sci-fi would have had a clear message about what it was about, they wouldn't have been 'converted' at the end or if they were, it would have been reversed after it turned out the race were evil in someway. The moral would have been beaten over our heads. Trek was show don't tell, it was philosophical. New trek tells everything in case the audience don't get it, and never leaves room for depth of thought or discussion.
The politics are the same, the execution was different. Progressive shows egalitarianism and treats everyone as normal without making a fuss about it, 'woke' belittles one type of person to elevate another and makes the differences and 'progressive' ideas more important than telling a good story with good characters. The latter often results in the opposite reaction, which is the real reason why woke is so bad as it does not achieve what it claims it wants to. People don't like being told what to think or preached to, even if they are part of the choir.
As a Trekkie, this makes my heart swell with joy! Yall just don't know how tight the relationship was between these two on the show!
@MonkeyZorr As a Trekkie, I love Star Trek Picard and think it is a wonderful show, and I am extremely excited that Whoopi will be bringing Guinan to Season 2.
@MonkeyZorr nobody likes you.

Very fitting,....she was a part of 'Next Generation'.
And who would ever turn down an invitation from Sir Patrick Stewart??? .......Make it so!
If you do why are you even here.

Sitting at my desk, getting misty.....soooooo happy for Whoopi! Can't wait to see the show. I was excited about Picard, but this puts the icing on the cake. Congratulations!!!!
As a huge Star Trek fan, a huge TNG fan, and a huge Patrick Stewart fan, I think 2 words describe Whoopi Goldberg’s portrayal of Guinan:- Class and Dignity.
"Set your faces...to stun!"
Loves this!
😂nice one!👌🏽
Holy crap, Guinan is coming back! This actually made me super happy.
That character was always a bit mysterious. Now, they can develop her a little more.
@@neily25 - They flushed her out a lot between Time's Arrow episode and the Generations movie....but I'd really like to know more about her. ESPECIALLY why Q was afraid of her in the show....she must have some sort of powers that they never explored. By the way....hope Q comes back. hahaha
“She has to get rid of that hair on her head now, right? Tell her that.” Lol oh Joy!!! Reminds me of a shady Aunty you are always avoiding at family get togethers. Love her though 😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰
Latricia Pates it’s for a part she is playing
Whoopi was in Stephen King's 'The Stand'. She plays a 100+ year old.
She wouldn't need to remove her new extensions for Star Trek because her character wore a hair covering.....from what I can remember from the 90s.
Yep, Shady for sure and she touched her hair. No no touching our hair. That really made me loose it. Picking up her hair and then saying that comment. Not feeling it.
Patrick had the best reply
The hair is for a movie she is currently filming. She has to keep it in until February...she said so on The View a couple of months ago. So no worries it’s temporary 😂
Why am I WEEPING? This is the BEST for me as a TNG Trekkie. Whoopi as Guinan has always been one of my favorite characters in history because she’s wisdom.
My wife just asked me, “Are you crying...?”
Joshua Snore I’m crying too
Viceroy Fizzlebottom explain, I miss old friends, and some of them were from this show, but some memories or shows let us down! Talk to me
Plus , I’m not understanding, they ruined Star Trek with lefty narratives? I must be not understanding you! Star Trek is about all planets uniting( Picard), is excluded from this. The planets that were in the federation had different politics , races, religions, sexes, so I don’t get the leftish agenda. Star Trek was leftish, but perhaps I’m just not understanding, because how could U watch a series & not understand the basic premise ; according to me & I could be wrong
Nooooooo.. i just have something in my eye...."sniff"
@Viceroy Fizzlebottom Hold me brother
I always enjoyed Guinan's character and her relationship with Picard. Good to see Whoopi back in the Star Trek fold.
I can’t believe how emotional I got watching this! Whoopi is an icon and was a huge part of my childhood. So to see her getting work and the glee on her face makes me so tearfully happy
OMG. THAT was awesome. Classy, so my heart just burst! A Gentleman, indeed.
When I was a kid it was Whoopi who got me into Star Trek. I remember always asking my mom if that was the woman from The Color Purple

a highly underrated actress if there ever was one. Loved her on Star Trek, and look forward to her being on Picard.
Seeing Whoopi react the way she did made me all teared up. I am enormously looking forward to Picard. It’s a great time to be a Star Trek fan.

She's clearly trying to keep herself from showing too much. But that smile shows her true feelings. :)

Joyless Blowhard [along with most Leftists] doesn’t even realize her racist tendencies; it oozes out of her. And then she touches Whoopi’s hair and asks, “Does she have to get rid of the hair **thing**?” NEVER touch a black woman’s hair uninvited.

Well, Star Trek was the reason she went into acting. She's been repeatedly cited as having cited Nichelle Nichols as her inspiration because of what that role meant at that time and moving forward
She wanted to be in Star Trek so much that she would've been happy to be a background character....But Guinan was written for her...and we are grateful for that, Guinan is one of my favourite characters
