Ok. What is the chance of a Picard spinoff?
- Thread starter ELCHawk
- Start date
Who wants to pay inflated prices to watch the people around them playing with their phones while the movie is taking place?
The guys that did the petition were able to see season 3 several months back. They've interviewed Terry Matalas, have talked about how their petition has been covered in the media, and it has been shared on social media by season 3 actors. They make their case based on the leaked audio from the IMAX Q&A, Matalas trying to cut off a response about a question of seeing Seven of Nine again soon, and how Alex Kurtzman's approach has changed in public vs at the season premiere screening. They argue that Legacy could also be a miniseries.
Kurtzman has mooted a Janeway/Seven miniseries in the past. Could see this flowing into something Legacy related.
To be fair, UPN did kinda have a point about too much serialization. When it was airing, DS9 was my least favorite series because episodes would constantly be preempted or joined in progress, so I got lost in the ongoing storyline
. The thing with Prodigy is that "a season" is really two seasons. Adding a third season would effectively be a six year run.
Season 1 of prodigy was about 430 minutes of Trek (20
Episodes about 23 minutes long plus credits). Season 1 of tng was over 1000. Season 3 of Picard about 500.
Does it?

That was at the very end of the series and not during.
Unless your saying a season five is in the works.
It wasn’t over until it was over. So yeah, they had cameos
Still not sure what question you think you’re answering or what answer you’re countering, You said that the 23rd Century is at the core of the franchise right now. I said it’s not and gave examples of current shows set in other eras. The next two shows seem to be set in the 32nd and 25th Centuries. The next film is set in an unknown era, but probably not the 23rd Century.
You earlier claimed that Kurtzman and Co., forgot about the 24th Century yet no less that three shows put out by them are based on or in the 24th Century.
So yeah, I’m having trouble accepting the ideas that the 23rd Century is currently the core of the franchise or that Kurztman “forgot” about the 24th Century.
It's been established that Pike's injury is in 2266 so that's an end time there, unless they change the future (which turned out bad in the season finale of SNW)
Doesn't mean they have to stick to 1 year per season though.
This is my plan for how I'm going about this:
- Re-Watch all of TNG Season 1 --> Everything from Gene Roddenberry & Company's version of the TNG Characters and the 24th Century, completely unchanged by anything that came later. Plus The Questor Tapes as an added bonus.
- "Attached" (TNG)
- "Preemptive Strike" (TNG)
- "All Good Things" (TNG)
- "Endgame" (VOY)
- Picard Season 1
- Watch all of The 12 Monkeys --> I've never seen (or read) any other version of it. So, this will be my first exposure.
- Picard Season 2
- "Assignment: Earth" (TOS) between "Watcher" (PIC S2E4) and "Fly Me to the Moon" (PIC S2E5).
- Picard Season 3
This will also allow PIC Season 3 some time to age a little before I circle around back to it.
EDIT: List updated as per cal888's suggestion.

.....or they continue on with the adventures of Captain Kirk and crew.
If I could make a suggestion? I'd watch 12 Monkeys before Picard Season 2. There are several Easter eggs to the former in the later, and without giving anything away, what they were trying to do with Young Guinan might have a different reading after seeing 12 Monkeys.
And, yeah, probably good to go into the series without seeing the film. The original pilot for the series was backwards adapted to reference the film to get green lit.
Kirk (Paul Wesley) is waiting in the wings over there.
I'll switch the order then. I'll put The 12 Monkeys before PIC Season 2.
I'm also adding in The Questor Tapes, which I've managed to find. I've been looking for that one for decades. I've only just finished "Encounter at Farpoint", so I'm watching Questor before "The Naked Now". Why? Because I know the Data/Yar scene was based on something from there.
People love serialization nowadays, but I think you hit the nail on the head here. The essential coponent is being able to watch any episode, any time, like a chapter in a book. That requires streaming. If the episodes only air in sequential order and get bumped by Hockey or MLB, it wrecks the story.To be fair, UPN did kinda have a point about too much serialization. When it was airing, DS9 was my least favorite series because episodes would constantly be preempted or joined in progress, so I got lost in the ongoing storyline
Trek had a lavish budget for a 1990s TV show, regardless of being Sci Fi or not. And it had a huge mount of creative freedom compared to the bigger shows at the time. This allowed it in many ways to anticipate the way things were going to go in the next 15-20 years. Things like the proto-MCU in the movies/TV shared universe integration.Things like heavy use of green screening in live action. And yes serialized plot lines. But like with many things, the technology wasn't quite there yet.
Exhibit A: BABYLON 5. I watched here and there in season 1, but just fell out. Unfortunately I didn't grow up in a TV market like Los Angeles where it would have had a stable primetime slot to air in. Now B5's a good topic for if a series should have a continuation or be rebooted!
Most serialization in the 1980's and 1990's were primetime soaps and police / lawyer / medical shows where episodes would have rolling plots week to week, but everything you'd need to know if you missed an episode would be on the "previously on" segment. Shows that tried to buck the trend, like TWIN PEAKS, didn't last that long.
What am I being ripped apart now for to get the bold treatment? Oh wait, that's actually a compliment
I hope you enjoy! Maybe later in the year there could be a how did 12 Monkeys inform seasons 2 and 3 of Picard thread.
JMS has been trying to reboot the thing for The CW for the past couple of years:
