SAN DIEGO — The upcoming “Star Trek” series about Jean-Luc Picard will reunite the beloved starship commander with android officer Data and other characters from the long-running space franchise, the cast revealed to fans at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday. The footage from “Star Trek: Picard” included surprise appearances by Data (Brent Spiner) from “Next Generation” and Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) from “Star Trek: Voyager.” Both actors joined Stewart on stage and drew loud applause and cheers. Discussions with writers of the new series changed his mind, Stewart said. One will be a teaser for the “Picard” series.
