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

Should the next big exploration focused show (TOS/TNG/VOY/ENT) take place a century+ after Picard?

  • Yes

  • No

  • Don't care at all

The only way you could do a show in the 24th century now, is if you focused on the first half of the 24th century. Meaning back to the days of the USS Excelsior, Ent-B, Ent-C, USS Stargazer, Tomed Incident, Federation-Cardassian war, TOS movie-era uniforms, etc.

If the idea is to follow up on the DS9 and VOY crew, or various minor characters from TNG, PIC and LD seem to have it covered. Any live action series about them can take place in the early 25th century if we want to see where they are in their lives now.

Trek should generally move forwards.

You've got this space saga spanning centuries of in-universe time and a mandate for year-round TV shows on Paramount+, I'm very cool with the various shows having their own distinct era.

Strange New Worlds - TOS prequel/reboot (also most likely Section 31 series era)

Lower Decks - Just after TNG/DS9/VOY

Picard - Decades after TNG/DS9/VOY

Disco - so far into the future nothing affects anything else (also most likely Starfleet Academy era)
 
Not chronologically, no.

Picard - Decades after TNG/DS9/VOY

Disco - so far into the future nothing affects anything else (also most likely Starfleet Academy era)

So, basically, we have room for:

- The ENT prequel
- The ENT sequel, either immediately, or decades after
- Romulan War Stories
- The prequel to Disco
- The series set between TAS and TMP
- The series set between TUC and TNG
- The series set either before, during, or after the Ent-J
- The series set either before, during, or after the USS Relativity
 
I'm not actually in favor of a show on the Enterprise set 100 years after TNG/DS9/VOY doing the Exploration Thing...

... but I do want it to happen, just so we can stop hearing about it every time there's a new series.
 
Not like people can't watch what they like. Technically the note for Kirk's era was freaking Generations. No harm, no foul.
 
It was conclusion we needed after Nemesis... had they not introduced the last minute Gollum get-out clause, it would've been an even more perfect wrap-up. Solve some galactic mystery, revisit some TNG friends, die and be reunited with Data in a kind of afterlife. From the off, I pretty much figured that's where they were going, but now they've got a season 2 to presumably raise questions about what makes Picard human anymore, only to off him again, I suppose!
 
Cheers my precious!

I wasn't in the screening room next door watching The Two Towers instead back in 2002, honest I wasn't...

I think a show that probably should be set in the 24th or early 25th century, when everything is still kind of familiar, is a televised version of the novel Articles of the Federation-or essentially, The West Wing in space. Id love something about the inner workings of the Federation itself, less about Starfleet but about the Federation politics and politicians who control them
 
I'm surprised at how afraid of change some Trek fans are. The 24th century and its characters have been played all the way out. It's time to move on.

When did Star Trek become about rehashing the same old storylines instead of exploring new places and eras and characters?

When people became afraid of change and wanted warm fuzzies of nostalgia.
