And it's not worthwhile to take your observations and pronouncements seriously because your posting track record on this board is one of being wrong in most of your expectations.It's really hard to take anything you say seriously when you say silly stuff like this.
For me, it's more interesting to ask "How is @Serveaux wrong about this?" than to ask whether the passing clouds are making @Serveaux angry.You've reached a point of being able to be proactively negative about things in the planning stage. Your journey is complete.
I'm looking at this list and frankly seeing only pitfalls that will demand efforts above and beyond for the developers to avoid them.I imagine we'll see a slew of topics asking similar questions before the premiere of the new show:
When will Picard Trek go to the Mirror Universe? - You know, like STD did.
Will Picard Trek bring back Noonian Soong? - You know, like STD did with Harry Mudd.
Will Picard Trek bring in lots of familiar characters from TNG? - a variation of the above, and of course already being discussed; You know, like STD is doing with Pike, Number One, Spock, Sarek and gods know how many other familiar Trek characters from TOS.
To boil it down:
When will PIcard Trek regurgitate the same old shit? - if it's like STD, early and often.
...pitfalls that will demand efforts above and beyond for the developers to avoid them.
My turn to be gloomy. I hope that Chabon actually lasts in this position and manages to have substantial creative influence, and that he doesn't end up cast aside forWell, then we're screwed.
Well, actually...no. I'm intrigued by the report that Michael Chabon is an executive producer on Picard Trek. It's the first promising, interesting note about the new project other than the fact itself that Patrick Stewart will appear in the Franchise again.
Hold on...it's even kind of exciting.
(BTW, fuck clouds. They know what they did.)
By the way, Chabon wrote the DISCO short “Calypso,” which has already been shot.
But if not, I wonder if it's sort of a test to see if Chabon could serve as showrunner for an entire Trek series.
Tilly and that thing on her forehead does suggest she might be a recovered Drone. I've not kept up, but she's the most refreshing character on the show and enough to get me to take another look.
The "Star Trek Universe" is a three-century continuum in which nothing ever changes. They rearrange the furniture.
True and sig worthy.The "Star Trek Universe" is a three-century continuum in which nothing ever changes. They rearrange the furniture.
Now, now....those of us who made fan films back in the 80s and 90s didn't exactly break out and make purely our own Treks, did we? Our furniture went into trying to copy that TOS Enterprise bridge. We didn't go out and get fresh stuff to make the bridge of the USS Thisisgoingtobewildlydifferent.
I am going to have to side with you on this! Is it freezing down under?What does that have to do with...anything? Anything at all?
Considering the STO being played now started in the year 2409; and after 7 years in operation only recently moved forwad to 2010, no, I doubt it.Really? Does that mean they’ll be wearing the STO uniforms?
What does that have to do with...anything? Anything at all?

If the complaint is that not enough is different, those of us who made fan films didn't really make things different, either. We tried to make the TOS bridge, instead of a bridge of our own design that was a lot different.
Fan films are imitative by definition. There's no comparison between what's to be expected of a fan film and what kind of ambitions we'd hope professional filmmakers have. It's very strange to bring up fan films in this context; they are irrelevant.
Sarek melded with Michael and left some of his Katra with her, allowing them to communicate irrespective of distance.
Sarek melded with Picard, allowing Sarek to remain sane for some negotiations. It was quite intense.
Perhaps irrespective of space and time, Picard can summon Sarek and Michael into his consciousness for talky conferences when he's unsure how to proceed.
You mean Oscar-winning movies (Akiva Goldsman), monumentally successful films and television series (Kurtzman), and monumentally successful novels (Beyer)?
There's really cause for concern.... NOT!
