I don't get it either. Perhaps some fans aren't allowed to want the shows they'd enjoy?
Picard film in development
- Thread starter Danja
- Start date
This is an odd thing that seems to prevalent nowadays.
Some Fans: "I like this thing. I would like to see more of this thing I like"
Other Fans: "NNNOOOOOO HOW DARE YOU! THE THING SHOULD BE SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN THE THING YOU LIKE!"
If I go into a Steakhouse, I want steak. If the server delivers sushi to my table, i'd be like... "I came to a steakhouse, I wanted steak.", but then the chef comes out and is like, "Oh my god, steak again? You want more steak? You already had steak. Have something different.", but i'm like... "Look, I like sushi well enough, but I came to a steakhouse and I wanted steak. That's why i'm here.", and then the chef calles me an idiot or toxic or something for wanting the thing I came for and not something totally different.
If you want steak, then you want steak. There's no shame in it.
Unless you go into a vegan restaurant, of course.

"Baskin-Robbins always finds out."
I've given up wanting what I would enjoy. Bring told I'm wrong has that effect.
I'd rather others get what they want at this point. If it means more TNG style Picard shenanigans then so be it.
You shouldn't give up. There's bound to be someone who agrees with you.
I don't *think* I'll ever see the extra-galactic adventures of the generation ship Enterprise, but hope springs eternal.
(I'm talking Robert Heinlein/harder sci-fi territory, and the weirdest stuff you can imagine in distant galaxies. Yes Where No One Has Gone Before really stuck with me.)
It's kind of funny, because like, I kind of agree and am in the same boat... but... with the opposite outcome.
I've given up on wanting more TNG style Picard shenanigans and have just accepted that we get more Discovery and Section 31 now.
And yet which one is a film being talked about?
A Picard film isn't being talked about. *WE* are talking about a Picard film.
What is actually happening at Paramount? SNW Season 3, Discovery-related. Starfleet Academy, Discovery-related. We just got Section 31, Discovery-related.
Picard, done. Lower Decks, cancelled. Prodigy, cancelled.
The 25th century/TNG+ continuation arm of the Star Trek Universe appears to be completely dead. There is only the Discovery arm.
Um...I thought Patrick Stewart was talking about it?
Pike existed before Discovery so I only kind of see SNW as Discovery adjacent. People are no longer talking about Section 31, a project greenlit far before other things.
I doubt it's completely dead.
There could still be something on the horizon.

Patrick Stewart Reveals New Star Trek Movie Script Featuring Jean-Luc Picard Is In The Works
"I’m so excited," says the veteran Star Trek actor.

Patrick Stewart had made a few mentions of a desire to do a Picard movie about a year ago.
There is no indication Paramount has any interest in doing so.
I mean yeah Pike existed before Discovery, but SNW is very much in the "Discovery Universe".
It's like saying that since The Doctor is on Starfleet Academy, it's basically a continuation of Voyager, not Discovery...
Patrick really wanrs to do one. But if he makes demands like he did on the first two seasons of Picard I wont really care to see it. We might get stuck in several long scenes in a dark wine cellar at Chateau Picard and find out his father committed sucide as well.
No clue. It might be. Prodigy was.
Only in that they are in the Star Trek universe but SNW is completely separate from Discovery in my mind. Like TOS and TNG.
Paramount has a dumpster fire of finances going on. They're focused on survival and carrying forward what projects were greenlit.
After the merger I expect a 25th century project.

That article is a year old.
Right, but Prodigy was... not connected to Discovery in any way and WAS quite literally a continuation of the TNG+ era.
Starfleet Academy is set in the 32nd century of Discovery.
I really don't see a drastic difference between DSC and SNW. SNW is quite literally a spin-off of Discovery, using characters that may not have originated on Discovery, but the versions were are seeing did. Pike is DSC Pike. Spock is DSC Spock. The Enterprise is DSC Enterprise.
Possibly. I'm not holding my breath, but who knows.
With a change in management, I sort of expect a dead period and then... yet another return/reboot for the TOS era.
Not really, other than casting. The bridge is different, uniforms are different, crew is massively different. It feels as connected as TOS and TMP, with characters who have no history suddenly having huge chunks of dialogue.
Or it just stays dead. End the bitching.
TOS and TMP were directly connected. Not sure what the argument is there. Yes, TMP was a direct continuation of TOS.
SNW is... quite literally and objectively... a spinoff of Discovery. That's not really a point of debate.
In name only.
And of the Cage. So, again, related but not really to my mind.
