Why the soft reboot?

[plynch]

Her point, to continue, was that when there is a flourishing of new art, it's often in turbulent times. Renaissance Italy or 1930s Hollywood and jazz/pop. Living in a civilization comfortably slouching towards Gomorrah while watching the 17th Batman or Godzilla reboot might be preferable to living in constant warfare.among city states but getting the music of Gabrieli.

With the turbulence now, mraybe we're due for another new eruption/flourishing.

And remember I am jonesing for Pike, touted ax TOS II, more or less.

Every meal?
I honestly didn't think it needed finishing. Still don't.

Yes, every meal.

I've checked out of movies. Checked out a long time ago. TV is where it's at.

I wouldn't say I've "checked out of movies" as I still go to the theatres to see new movies, or at least I did before Corona. But I do admit, I do rewatch TV shows a lot more often than I rewatch movies. TV is indeed where it's at.

Every meal?

In all honesty, I do eat the exact same food for every meal, every day. Variety is for chumps.

Same. I'd rather take on meal and create it as something simple, easy and go to for meal planning. And I do. Variety doesn't interest me as much.

I feel like the reason they did this is because CBS really is listening a bit TOO much to fans and just decided to put them in a place where they wouldn't conflict with canon anymore and they had more freedom to work. I do hope they return to the post-Kirk era, though.

Return? They're already in a post-Kirk era.

Yes, I mean in the context of going back to the time before post-apocalypse DISCO verse but hopefully after TOS.

I dream of a series set in/around the movie era. I just adore those ship and uniform designs, and I think they hold up.

What's the food?

What's the food?

Crackers for first meal, a McDonalds McWrap for second meal. Potato chips for third meal.

We'll get something like that when they do the eventual Picard prequel. When, not if.

What are they going to call it? Star Trek: Picard Begins?

 

[Lord Garth]

What are they going to call it? Star Trek: Picard Begins?

Picard: “They told me there was nothing out there, nothing to fear. But the night I was stabbed at Starbase Earhart, I caught a glimpse of something. I’ve looked for it ever since. I went around the galaxy, searched in all the shadows. And there is something out there in the darkness, something terrifying, something that will not stop until it gets revenge.”

Marta: "Deep down you may still be that same great man you used to be. But it's not who you are underneath, it's what you do that defines you."

Curzon: "Your compassion is a weakness your enemies will not share."

Picard: "That's why it's so important. It separates us from them."

With James McAvoy playing a younger Picard?

I don't think "how many reboots" is the right question. SW9 was bad, sure, but Batman Begins et seq. were good.

It’s the old ‘reboot’ versus ‘just a different adaptation’ mental block some audiences have. The various Austen and Bronte adaptations don’t get it, nor does Sherlock Holmes, it’s something that seems peculiar to comic book movie and genre movie viewers. (For instance, since Omega Man was an adaptation in the first place, the ‘Will Smith remake’ isn’t a remake at all, it’s a different adaptation of the same source material.) If the question then becomes ‘why are we always adapting the same characters, the same stories, why not something new?’ Then we realise that we are quite often getting new adaptations (The Martian, Ready Player One for example.) and ocassional new characters/stories (Interstellar and Ad Astra I think were new, wholly cinematic narratives.) but they don’t come with the built in audience of sequels and adaptations, or in the case of Trek, Franchises.

Setting DSC ‘four years before kirk’ was going to be a hook for some, even as it was a red flag to others, and the new hook is watching Gene Rodenberry’s Andromeda back in the Trek fold.

You know, he actually kind of looked like younger Picard in that Q episode.

Oh and James is down for it.

Er...which Q episode?

I was making an X-Men joke...

When Q brought Picard back to his youth in Starfleet Academy.

Ah, I misinterpreted your comment as implying that James McAvoy played Picard in that scene, not that he looked like whomever they cast for it.
