Spoilers How to save Star Trek's 'Legacy' entering the 25th century!
- Thread starter Mr Bambostic
- Start date
Lol, why would I have time for a 'good lawsuit'? It's my first time here in nearly a year, but it's nice to see some of my ideas, including the actual name of the 25th century show, might actually see the light of day, lol...who would have thought, especially given the very unfriendly reception I received from some folks here in this thread, that some of these ideas would literally come to life?
Very satisfying that the couple of hours I spent on that write up do not seem like they were wasted now! Sometimes you just have to put things out into the universe - I now see why they specifically say that they don't want pitches for new tv shows, so they don't have to pay anyone whose ideas end up being the same or similar to whatever they decide to do!
Yeah, you first posted in May of 2022. Production on season three of Picard wrapped in, um, March of 2022.
Nice try.
When I reached the thirteenth and penultimate novel in 'The Wheel of Time' by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson, circa March 2022, I phoned a friend with some thoughts on how it might end. After reading the final volume and learning that over half my ideas came to fruitition, I, too, had delusions of grandeur.

lol...and somehow I was privy to what they shot in production when I made my post in May 2022? This just buttresses exactly the point I made that you quoted - they don't take pitches for new Star Trek series for this very reason. If someone comes up with the same ideas they are going to use, whether that is before or after they come up with it (regardless of where they got the idea from), it would undoubtedly unnecessarily complicate things for them - a good strategic move on their part!
Geez - so you are also suggesting that I had inside info on what they were going to do for Season 3 when I made this post nearly a year ago in May 2022? Salty much that I correctly predicted what they should or were already intending to do when I made this post? I can't even come here to enjoy the fact that I made the right call on a lot of my ideas here? lol...
ps. I just re-read your post and saw that you said penultimate and not final novel, after which you predicted the half of the ideas in the final novel, which you're drawing a parallel here with my suggestions for Star Trek: Legacy after watching Picard Season 2...
If you follow this thread, you'll notice that my ideas got a particularly frosty reception from quite a few folks here because I stated I didn't like Season 2, and now that Season 3 has gone in the direction of some of my ideas, including teasing a whole new Star Trek: Legacy set in the 25th century, making Seven a captain and having a re-do of Q after he was completely mishandled in Season 2, I'm still getting a pretty cold reception from some of you?
It seems like a really strange way to welcome newbies to this forum - a rite of passage perhaps? I honestly thought fellow Trek fans would generally be a lot warmer than this...
lol, no one is dodging anything - it's great that you know when production on Season 3 wrapped. Thanks for informing me, so I stand corrected that someone at Paramount perhaps read my post and got some of the ideas from here...
What I find pretty astounding is that not a single person responding here has been able to say anything remotely positive for getting some of these ideas right, especially after some of the same folks pretty much lambasted me for spending a couple of hours to share my thoughts here in the first place?
Not every Trek fan is a TNG legacy fan.
Don't confuse skepticism of nostalgia for personal animosity. I don't know you so it can't be personal.
Got it - so I guess the lack of warmth is from non-TNG legacy fans who (1) didn't like my ideas in the first place and (2) didn't like the fact that some of them were right?
Nothing personal imagined, just surprised by the general lack of welcome here - not what I imagined when finally finding the forum where I could actually talk to and connect with other Trek fans!
1 is were I'm at. I am indifferent at whether or not you were right. Congrats, I guess.
I mean, welcome for sure. There's a whole welcome thread, as well as a TNG forum and the Picard forum is effervescent over the most recent season.
That's because some people here thrive on being jerks. Thankfully they're in the minority.
Log off, Terry. We're not falling for it.
First of all: the vast majority of fans are in fact TNG legacy fans. I liked most of your ideas and yes, some of them made it into Picard season 3. I guess people with a basic understanding for storytelling and how to preserve a long running franchise just came to the same conclusions as you laid out in your first post.
Unfortunately, some of the fans around here are rather angry gatekeepers of NuTrek. They still believe that the ideas of Disco season 3 and 4 would resonate with a majority of fans. We all know, that this is not the case, but who are we to kick them from their high horses, right?
I guess some of them are just angry, that their ideas of Star Trek will not be continued. Some of the people, who replied to your inital post, reply to just about everything on this message board. Apparently it gives them support in times the truth reveals itself with mighty force…
Nope. None of us speak for the majority. It is arrogant to think my views should be held by anyone else.
