"A catsuit?! How provocative!" Picard's Sir Patrick Stewart on Jeri Ryan's Star Trek uniform.

Patrick hasn't even seen a single scene from Voyager....

[u/Massive-Gas]

This guy's a great interviewer.

[u/JayOnes]

Jeri Ryan has the most infectious laugh.

“Face-palm guy” almost killed me.

[u/Twigling]

Very enjoyable interview, thanks for the link.

And Sir Pat doesn't appeared to have seen Voyager. :) (I wonder if he's watched any Trek in his spare time?, I know from a recent Graham Norton interview that he's seen at least one TNG episode):

Jeri Ryan thinks some men in 7of9 catsuits are hot, confirmed.

That was wonderful. Thank you for sharing

With the end of episode one of Picard, and seeing Jeri Ryan in this interview, I can sense where the Picard series is going to head in future episodes.. Exciting!
