Spoilers Season 3 Cast Announcement

I don’t think it is so much the TNG cast, I think it is more that we’re tired of another nostalgia security blanket. Kirk said something a long time ago about too much of anything not necessarily being a good thing.
For me, I don't see using a legacy character as being "nostalgia" per se.

It's more that... I could be entirely wrong, but I don't see them as being a one-or-two-episodes and off thing. They had two of them back in season one and used the better part of a whole episode for that. Hype or not, they can't be so stupid as to hype many of the fanbase up and then these characters play second fiddles to whoever is left of the newer cast.

I like all of them - some more, some less -, and I don't think I'll hate it, but I'm just not as excited as others.
 
Look, I'm happy that the TNG cast is back, but can we celebrate for a moment that a major DS9 character will finally pop back up as a result?

...hey, we Niners will take what we can get. ;)
I can see Seven slamming Quark's head against the bar for information
 
Would Colm Meaney come back? I’d love to see O’Brien again. He does, after all, become the most important person in Starfleet history. The fandom demands to learn why!

Okay, I demand to learn why.

Okay, I’d really just like to see O’Brien again, guys, okay?

Yassss.

Matalas has made comments that Season 3 is heavily inspired by his love of DS9. Draw whatever conclusions you want from that.

Oh, trust me. I've been drawing all sorts of guesses since the day he said it. :P

Wait, what? A DS9 character who's not Whorf?

Btw., kudos to them keeping it so under wraps. Even well-known blabbermouths like de Lance kept quiet about it!

No, no. I'm just making the (dumb) joke that Worf counts as a DS9 character as well!

She'll grab his earlobes first:

Lwaxana Troi: You are dealing with the daughter of the Fifth House, Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx and the Holy Rings of Betazed!
Quark: Ow, not my ear, please!
Lwaxana Troi: Yes, and I know where it hurts the most, you little troll!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Well, it's crammed already, so wtf!

Two of my favs have passed, so I only demand Kira, Garak (and by extension his husband, Bashir, let's not be impolite) and Quark back! Quark will be easy, whatever their "road trip" is must lead them to his bar (whichever of the franchise he happens to visit)! Go all in!
 
I'll judge it when I see it, but I'm less than enthused by the idea. It feels like the same pandering to complainers which dragged Disco down.

I doubt it. They had the basic story outlined from the beginning of the series.

It's the final season, probably the final live action appearance of Patrick Stewart as Picard they just want to have some fun.
 
Well as long as they honour the original character and don’t recast him. They’ll probably just leave the character out then like they did for the majority of the movies then.
What happened to the actor who play Adult Wesley in that Q episode? Maybe he needs the work? ;)
 
Can we just give Paramount a round of applause for filming a whole ass 10 episode TNG reunion miniseries without it leaking out online? During a pandemic! Kevin Feige and Russell T Davies are probably on the phone with Terry Matalas right now asking how the fuck he pulled that off.
 
Well this is beyond exciting. One last glorious hurrah. I cannot wait. :luvlove:
 
There were some clues that this was happening at least in part. Michael Dorn’s very Worf-esque beard. Levar Burton saying he wasn’t in season two but…

A lot of people want to know, is there potential for you to guest star on Star Trek: Picard? Would you revisit the role?

Burton: How do I answer this without getting myself into trouble? I think that it is reasonable to assume that those people are still a part of Picard’s life…and….yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah.

Yeah, you’re doing it?

Burton: You’ll see us all. Probably not all at the same time, although, you know, never say never

Not to mention Gates doing voice work for Prodigy. Sure, that could have been for whatever. But it sure did seem convenient.
