Kurtzman intentionally killed Legacy?

Why would that be a problem? Fraternization is allowed, as per Starfleet regs. If word got out that Picard and Beverly had a thing, there'd be no problem at all. There's no scandal in that.

And we can only assume that birth control in the 25th century is 100% accurate. Meaning, Beverly would have only had Jack if she wanted to. So again, it begs the question, why didn't she tell Picard?

Unplanned pregnancies should have long been a thing of the past. With 25th-century medical technology, pregnancy must only exist if it is specifically desired. If Jack exists, and Picard (presumably) did not plan to be a father, then Beverly must HAVE planned it, and deliberately concealed it from him. So why would she do that?
Beverly literally says she hid jack from Picard because she did not want the kid to have a target on him or to lose him in the same way she lost Wesley and his father.

As for why Bev chose to have Jack, again it's because Wesley was basically lost to her due to his traveller duties and Jack would have been a second chance at motherhood
 
The character assassination of Beverly was astounding. What she did was all kinds of wrong. It’s a wonder Picard ever spoke another word to her. I certainly wouldn’t have. I just hate that whole plot. And whatever nonsense it was that connected Jack to the Borg. I still cannot believe many fans consider P3 the greatest thing Trek has done in 3 decades.
 
Which is complete nonsense, because Beverly and Jack were constantly in danger of getting killed with what they were doing.
Exactly. The whole logical was utter nonsense and was only there to have Picard have a son, except he didn't have one in the previous seasons and we need an excuse to have a son even though it makes no sense, and doesn't like up with how Crusher or Picard ever treated their relationship.

Baffling.

Same. It does the same mystery box story of Season 1 and 2 but features familiar characters so it's ok? :wtf:
 
Apparently Dave Blass got yelled at by someone (he didn't day who) when he was hypothetically talking about what he would do to the Ent-G bridge if a Legacy series existed.

Which seems odd tbh.

Could have just been someone from CBS/Paramount not wanting him to make people excited idk

And what becomes of the little golden models of the 1777 and the 80201? Just binned, I suppose..:confused:
Stored until they build another Titan presumedly.
 
I'm starting to see why Section 31 is a hit with some members.

Seriously you think "I hid your kid to save him from danger by placing him in a different type of danger" is good writing? Is this a Soap Opera from the 80s or something. What next, an evil twin? Oh, wait scratch that. If they're gonna be all soapy at least toss in a second character as a possible father!
"No, Worf! Jack's real father is ....Jean-Luc!!!

Dramatic music and fade to credits.
:lol:
 
USS Titan was perfect. More than perfect, in fact. It made sense from it's very first scene.

Well maybe not perfect sense referring to the Titan-A as Riker's old command that Shaw has been captain of for 5 years despite Riker not being on active duty since 2391 and the pre release stuff that said it launched in 2402 despite the season being set in 2401.

Meh, numbers. The name was great

Beverly was written so out of character that it’s a wonder that Gates McFadden didn’t complain about it. Maybe she just didn’t care about a character she hadn’t played in 20 years.
 
In all truth, being that the whole season is framed around the anniversary of the launch of the NX-01, she really should have been back at Earth and been the one launching out of Spacedock. Would've made more sense than the Enterprise-F.
What? They wanted to have a tie in to the Star Trek Online Massively Multiplayer Online PC game, that completely destroyed the continuity established within the game. :angel:

( in game it was clearly established that the U.SS. Enterprise 1701-F was a new and revolutionary design launched in 2409; and it definitely hadn't been in service and wasn't retired in 2403. In game they had an actual mission where you meet its new crew, and effectively attend its launch ceremony.

The whole thing caused a lot of consternation for those who had tried to fit all of STO's continuity into the prime universe; and it wasn't until this sequence in Picard where the developers finally had to come out and admit STO is an alternate universe timeline.)

I've just decided Picard season 3 isnt canon, it can't even keep continuity with itself so it's less of a headache. Though the upcoming inclusion of Hugh might cause some mental gymnastics but such is the life of someone who can't not overthink
