Re: [TV] New Star Trek Show in Development?
So are they going to make a Picard spinoff series called Star Trek Legacy? ...which is weird as its the name of a star trek pc game from like 2006.

Re: [TV] New Star Trek Show in Development?
Regarding the latest episode, sure it's nostalgia, overload but I'll take it. This episode was a lot of fun, and the entire season has felt more like Star Trek has been in years. It truly feels like they got the mojo back, so kudos to the current showrunner for listening to the complaints from the past two seasons. Watching season 3 has had me grinning. Why couldn't it have been this way from the start?? There was so much wasted potential in those first two seasons as it never felt like it quite came together. Now we're at Season 3 and it's already almost over.
I know I've been hearing talk of a potential spinoff, but part of me wonders if they wouldn't reverse the decision of the 3rd season being the final one after seeing how much of a better reaction this one is getting and just integrate the spinoff ideas into a 4th season.
I've really grown to like Vadek as a villain. At first she felt two-dimensional, but I hear so much of her father (Christopher Plummer) when she speaks. It's in her cadence and her delivery. It sounds very theatrical, which makes sense as he was a Shakespearean actor.

If it were based on his days as an engineer in the Battle of Wolf 359, I could see that. But he's not really interesting enough to me as a captain.

Re: [TV] New Star Trek Show in Development?
Yeah, agreed. He feels like a one-note character. Plus, I wouldn't want to see a series give justification for A-hole behavior. I get it, he has issues. But they've pretty much told us all we needed to know about him, which really doesn't need to be expanded on. I also hate the current trend of giving side-characters their own series. Not everything needs its own series.

Re: [TV] New Star Trek Show in Development?
I feel like Jeri Ryan would be the top choice to base a new series around, both the actress and the character. Everyone else could be supporting/guest stars but I’d love to see her as the lead. She has the charisma, the popularity, the acting chops, and her character is still one of the most interesting in the TNG era. I’d like to see them give Ed Speleers a chance but at this point it’s hard to tell if he’s going to make it out of Picard alive. Geordi’s daughter is a cool addition as well.

Not gonna lie, this episode had me all but sobbing with joy. Nostalgia is an incredibly powerful drug.

They're offering IMAX theater showings of the final two episodes on April 19th. I've been tempted to look for tickets in the Chicago area.

Nice! Let us know what it was like. I'm still having trouble finding a theater around here that is showing it. Even though it clearly states "Chicago" in its listing for places where it's being shown.

Re: [TV] New Star Trek Show in Development?
It's weird how they're doing this. They only did 10 theaters across the country, and tickets were free (but limit 2). Perhaps they weren't confident people would be into it? Their site crashed hard for about an hour yesterday. I think they could have filled many more theaters, and probably sold tickets for cash, but that might not be allowed due to contracts with the actors and production team, who knows.

I definitely would have paid cash to see those two episodes on the big screen. However, not if they were 4DX. I'm still using a walker after the last time....

Re: [TV] New Star Trek Show in Development?
I did enjoy the ending of episode nine. Really makes me wish we'd had the original crew for three seasons though. I think I'd have been more likely to enjoy the plot and characters if it didn't feel so rushed.

Re: [TV] New Star Trek Show in Development?
TOS was my childhood, TNG my college years, and I’m lovin’ this season. I don’t think hating it is a natural reaction of being a big fan of the original shows.
Anyway…
Man, I’m gonna be sad when this ends.

Re: [TV] New Star Trek Show in Development?
I'm not suggesting that. And I don't hate it. I want it to be better. When I say TNG was my childhood, I mean that these characters were family to me at a not unchallenging time in my life; and this series and season feel, to me, a little like realizing at age 38 that the "cool" uncle you looked up to as a kid is actually a moronic dickbag.

Your phrasing makes it sound more like you’re suddenly realizing that you don’t like any Star Trek…old or new.
Let Space Leia take you to a different world where you may be happier.
She’s reaching for you, Sudy. Give in to her gentle, floating nature and free yourself from all this. You can even choose the color of your light saber.

Re: [TV] New Star Trek Show in Development?
Well, it was a silly analogy but it sounded cool and I'm high.
And no, I still very much love TOS, TNG, DS9, Lower Decks, the TOS movies, and TNG: Generations in particular. Nothing can change that. But much as with the bait Star Wars, I'm one of those fans whose memories are a little tainted by what comes after if I don't like it. Season 3 of Picard could be worse. It's just not one of the ways I saw the characters' futures going.
My saber will be orange, which seems to be the colour pissing off people at the moment.

So basically "Michelle Yeoh is now way too huge to do a Section 31 series, but we've talked her into returning for a movie"?
Regardless, I'm 1,000% down for it, even if it gets bad reviews. Obviously Yeoh is fantastic, and the Section 31 stuff from DS9 was great.

Re: [TV] New Star Trek Show in Development?
It was more that the scripts they were getting for a Section 31 series sucked, and the calls for a show about Captain Pike intensified, so they scrapped the series Section 31 series, moved ahead with Strange New Worlds, and the movie is kind of a compromise.El Guapo wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2023 6:52 pm So basically "Michelle Yeoh is now way too huge to do a Section 31 series, but we've talked her into returning for a movie"?

I figured that was probably the reason. But I’ll watch Yeoh in just about anything. Hopefully this movie event is fun.

Re: [TV] New Star Trek Show in Development?
It was pure fan service, and I loved it. However, I did have trouble swallowing one huge plot point.
If they renege on previous promises and there’s a season 4, keep the original crew and continue with the fan service, please.

Re: [TV] New Star Trek Show in Development?
Ok, a little late admittedly, but just watched the season 3 finale, and it's amazing to me just how much better this season is overall compared to the previous two seasons. It really was a step up, not only in the writing but character development. It really felt like a different show in that everything did come together. It felt that for once, the showrunner really understood what made TNG what it was. The difference was night and day. It was also a beautiful and touching tribute to Next-Gen. I would have been happy if we'd only got this 1 season. Bravo, Terry Matalas!
