Should Picard be the last major show to take place in that time period?

[dinzy]

Yes. It's 20 years after 90s Trek. We have hundreds of hours of 90s Trek. No more than a possible continuation spinoff should be considered. Disco is centuries into the future and there will be some calamity that happens. Whatever it is there is 700 years of unexplored history between Picard and Disco and then the future beyond that. Move it forward at least a "generation."

 

[dinzy]

Actually, I take that back. I want Star Trek:Worf where Dorn randomly appears in different Kilingon makeup styles. It would be like Generations with the uniforms only Worf's makeup and the makeup has nothing to do with the plot. To keep with the spirit of Generations, not only will it have inconsistent costumes, but it will also unceremoniously kill off a fan favorite. Sisko said he would return, but this show destroys the wormhole and the prophets because someone fell on the bridge and accidentally shot a volley of photon torpedoes at it. Worf is seen in slow mo screaming in all makeup styles.

The New Adventures of Travis "Come What May" Mayweather: 22nd century

Who wants to see the space adventures of Captain John Harriman of the Enterprise B (early 2300s) or Captain Rachel Garrett of the Enterprise C (2340s)?

I imagine the latter would've been a miniseries, given the untimely end of the ship and the entire crew...

Neither of those characters seem endearing to me. But Harriman doesn’t need to be the only captain of the B; he was just the first. Just like Garrett doesn’t need to be the only captain of the C; she was just the last.

I'd rather the adventures of a young Picard on the USS Stargazer.

Look, I know that there are always more stories to tell in any given time period in Trek, but I personally believe that Picard should be the last major show set in that time period and if they do another big exploration show in the vein of TOS/TNG/VOY/ENT it should be set in the 2460s to give it breathing room.

What does everyone else think?

If they're going to move ahead that many years, than the future needs to look more advanced than what we see in Picard. Just like TNG looks much more advanced than TOS. (And yes, I know they muddied the waters in later years with the prequel series.) If they just have the same heads-up displays, holograms, artificial life forms, etc as they do in Picard, then it won't feel like the 25th century is any different than the 24th.

I think there are some scifi ideas about the far future that they could pursue, e.g. extreme genetic modification, the technology singularity, etc. But I'm not sure how much they'd want to go down those routes in a weekly tv show.

As long as the Stargazer is 25% different.

Not to mention that if they did this, we'll suddenly find that the 'old' Stargazer all of a sudden has the same technology as ships in Star Trek: Picard.

Well the ships from Discovery, at least (which is pretty much the same with slightly less holograms). And I wouldn't be surprised if they used the Shenzhou/Section 31 ship bridge re-re-redressed instead of remaking the original.

 

[Romulan_spy]

Honestly, I care more about the style and the types of stories than what setting the show takes place in. Sure, the time period can influence some of the types of stories but pre-TOS, TNG or post-TNG does not matter if the writing sucks. And vice versa, pre-TOS, TNG or post-TNG can all be great if the writing is great.

And it appears based on STiscovery and ST:Picard, that the current show runners will do the same "Discovery" style show regardless of the time period. ST:Picard, even though it was set after Nemesis, had the same Discovery style ships, and similar style.

So I am not sure the time period will make a difference.

 

[Mr_Sloan]

No the continuing time person from TNG -> DS9 -> Voy -> Nemesis -> Picard should be continued in Picard and/or subsequent episodes.

 

[Mr_Sloan]

...subsequent series/Moves.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

This is the time period I've wanted shows to take place in since 2001.

 

[Markonian]

Don't care much about the temporal setting as long as the props and visuals match fit with what continuity established came before and comes after. I trust the storytelling is okay to great either way.

 

[Mudd]

I'd prefer they stick to the 23rd century.

 

[Norsehound]

I still keep hoping for a action-espionage drama set in the 2280s during the cold war with the klingons. Monster maroons, black-and-silver-sets with no carpet, high tensions with the empire, the crossroads of outgoing TOS and the lost era just over the horizon.

I am so done with berman-era TNG and beyond. The 23rd century has about five seasons of content vs the 24ths what, 21? I don't care if it's a new timeline or whatever- consistency doesn't matter as much to me as long as they tell an interesting story (though the riffs on classic themes is amazing).

 

[Eckauskas]

100 years is a bit too far in the future for me.But I echo the sentiments of there being enough prequel stuff kicking about. Since the end of Voyager, we've had ENT, JJ and DISCO. We have a rough idea of what happens between the opening of Generations and the end of Nemesis. I'd love a show that is set around the same time as Picard but focuses on a new ship and a new crew. Let us see how the Federation changes after the Hobus disaster and how the Klingons react to the destruction of the Romulan Star Empire.

A new Enterprise might be quite nice. The F would be cool. Or, if you really wanted to jump 100+ years, let's see the J and how things build up to Procyon V.

That timeline never happened, since instead of expanding for centuries to fill half the quadrant, the Delphic Expanse was destroyed in 2153.

Apologies, I never actually watched that season of ENT

But I'd still like Star Trek to move forward as opposed to just filling in the blanks of the past. We've done that. It's been done. There's loads to look at going forward.

 

[Tim Walker]

The most important consideration is that any new Trek production tell good stories. You may use any time period or time line if it helps you tell good stories.

 

[Lynx]

No and no again.

We need morfe and even better shows about the 24th century. Many loose threads to follow up there.

But no "doom-and-gloom", thank you.
