Spoilers Season 3 Cast Announcement

I thought it was just to frustrate me by pointlessly and annoyingly killing my favorite character every time he pokes his head up.
Spiner should have been recast if he didn't want the gig anymore, Data's life had only begun.

Maybe they can do with him what they do with Dr. Who and "regenerate" him. :p

yes…because the Discovery folk are well know for being super concerned with visual continuity.

The explanation I've heard for Disco's Klingons is that different races of Klingons exist within the Empire.

That’s a great explanation. Unfortunately in the 50+ years Star Trek has been in existence, that has never once been mentioned on screen, or any explanation given for seeing the same group of Klingons each time.
 
Are decisions like that made at the "production team" level, or much higher up?

It's a bit of both I think. From what I've read changing the Klingon look was Bryan Fuller's idea back when he was developing Discovery. Something like this would have had to be discussed with/signed off on by Alex Kurtzman, head Trek producer.

That can't really work as Kol and Kol-Sha are from the House of Kor and when Kor is cured from the Augment Virus, he should then end up looking like them, not like TNG-style Klingons.

With the heavy-handedness of Laris and Picard being thrown in this season, I wonder if her and Beverly will ineract in S3
 
Bottom line is: we're looking forward to this, me mainly because I don't think the TNG Movies were good (except for FC) and Picard has made up for them in spades. I never asked for this, but I'm glad we got it.

THIS! I completely agree. The TNG movies always felt forced, because it was way too soon to make the leap to the big screen. Generations was a disaster that ruined great closures of not one, but TWO series. The rest were meh. I wish they had left off with All Good Things.

ST: Picard is doing a good deed by ending things they way they should have.
 
Okay I'll put it in spoiler tags
The Tng cast will be coming back for season 3 including Gates McFadden I'm so glad she'll be coming back again[ as Beverley Crusher/SPOILER]
She will be back in a dream sequence belonging to Picard. The dream will also involve Laris :guffaw:

Klingon Houses aren't monolithic biological family units - Worf joined House of Martok.

They're more like Mafia families or Drag houses. The Kor who meets Kirk doesn't have to be related to Kol or the Kor after whom the house is named.
 
Oh let's just make it easy on Michael Dorn and poor Worf somehow got infected with a more vicious mutated Augment virus and he appears as Worf makeup free.

I simultaneously thing that All Good things was a perfect end but also love Generations and First Contact (the latter being possibly the best Trek movie) so am a bit torn. The last 2 movies are definitely shite though
 
It would be epic if they ended the season with one final group photo, with the cinematic camera slowly lifting away.

Also, I'd love to see Picard as Dixon Hill one last time.
