Spoilers Season 3 Cast Announcement
- Thread starter PT109
- Start date
That was what I was thinking.
Looks like EE did do some mocap work on 'The Quarry' over at Digital Domain.
I see it differently. We all know they're getting back to the 25th Century by the end of the season. And based off four seasons of DSC and two seasons of PIC, we also know that the next season would be about something else anyway.
It's a question of how they'll resolve the story arc this season, not if. And announcing who's in Season 3 doesn't really change that. At least not for me, since I figured between this being a three-season show and my belief that eventually we'd see all of the TNG cast before the series would end, that left S3 as the only place to do it. Process of elimination.

Plus on twitter Terry Matalas has teased a LOT more of a Starfleet vessel over the past few months, would be very surprised if it's all from the S2 finale...
And to narrow it down the graphics are definitely the Federation we know, not Confederation
And I very much doubt they'd bring the TNG crew back only to have them as their Confederation counterparts. That does not match with the idea of "a proper send-off for the TNG crew", as Matalas has said. And Jean-Luc in that teaser where he writes that letter or whatever it is doesn't look very "Confed" either. Also, Confederation Picard would probably sign things with "General Picard", not with "Jean-Luc", as he was doing. The whole vibe of that teaser was "TNG nostalgia", not "more nasty Confederation".
Absolutely. Third time lucky? (They say third finale but I never saw AGT as the ending as they literally went straight onto the movies - in fact the Enterprise-B stuff was filming on another stage while AGT was still filming!)
plus (and I know I keep saying this) I was bitter at how Nemesis ended so I'm glad this crew has a final shot at saying farewell. Though saying that if it were perfect I'd probably be asking for them back by now anyway!
I'm looking at this as TNG's Undiscovered Country, with a dash of All Good Things (future segments) and new elements..?
I think this is a good analogy. Season 2 seems to be their version of "The Voyage Home", and with all the hints they've dropped about season 3, it seems likely that it's gonna be their version of "The Undiscovered Country".
Potential hint to where s3 is going? (plus note the TNGified logo)

Should I know who this person is?
Art Director
Thank you.
I’m also bitter at how Nemesis started and went in the middle. It really gives Insurrection a run for its money as Worst Trek Movie.
Personally, I think Nemesis is worse than Insurrection. Insurrection has its flaws but I still enjoy it a lot. Insurrection has some nice moments. Nemesis is terribly written and terribly directed from start to finish. And Shinzon was horribly miscast too IMO.
It’s a close call. They’re both terrible.
You’re right about Tom Hardy being miscast. It would have made more sense to just have Patrick Stewart play both Picard and Shinzon.
The premise of Nemesis is just terrible. The whole story makes no sense. Out of the blue, a clone of Picard wipes out of the Romulan Senate and has an uber super ship to destroy Earth but also capture Picard because he needs his blood to survive. And the directing and editing of Nemesis is worse. The director cut out all the good character scenes. The movie does not flow well. And of course, we have that horrible mind rape scene with Troi. The premise of Insurrection is actually not that bad: a beautiful idyllic planet is threatened by a race in cahoots with Starfleet who want to exploit its healing properties. Picard sets out to protect the planet. The story flows pretty well. And I believe Frakes directed Insurrection, and he is a good Trek director who did a good job with Insurrection. The main flaw in Insurrection is the bad humor and the excuse to get Picard to commit insurrection is contrived IMO.
Yes,Patrick Stewart playing both characters would have been better if they had really wanted to stick with the clone idea. Alternatively, they could have ditched the whole clone aspect completely and gone with a Romulan with history with Picard like Sela or Tomalak. That would have fit better with the name of the movie, Nemesis. I think the whole clone thing was dumb.
Insurrection is worse.
I think that INS is a total betrayal of Star Trek values, which have always been, “When it comes to settling differences, talking is always preferable to fighting.” In this movie, the heroes never attempt to establish a dialog between the opposing factions. It’s just, “We disagree! Lock and load!”
My ranking of the TNG Movies:
"The Best of Both Worlds"
Star Trek: First Contact
Star Trek: Picard Season 3 (pre-emptive ranking)
"Gambit"
"Redemption"
"All Good Things"
"Chain of Command"
"Unification"
"Time's Arrow"
"Birthright"
"Descent"
Star Trek: Generations
"Encounter at Farpoint"
Did I miss anything? No. I think I got it all.
Okay, okay. I'll put Insurrection and Nemesis in there. Alright? Right underneath "Encounter at Farpoint". You can pick the exact order for me.
