In a lot of ways, Picard Season 3 was inevitable. The Pocket Book series followed a similar path years ago. They were once fairly scattered but in the post Nemesis-era, when it was clear new 24th century stories werent going to be made (for a while), it allowed for a years long reassessment and...

It's not convoluted. They renamed a relatively recently commissioned ship to honor one of the most famous and important ships in Starfleet history. This is only a problem because some folks don't like the Enterprise-G. It's that simple.

Calling it the Enterprise was absolutely the right call from every story and plot progression angle. Far, far better than the USS Picard (which they did consider). This problem, as I wrote above, isn't easy but it is very solvable. Marketing shouldn't constrain story like that.

It did in the fleet scenes. It was there. The Inquiry class in season 1's garbage model was made by another VFX house at the last minute. WHen the ship was made for Star Trek Online, they fixed a lot of the problems with the ship's shape, textures and shaders, and in the end the game ship ended...

I have been asking since the show aired in at least 3 different locations, and - and this is absolutely goddamn amazing - have failed to see one compelling argument as to how a Star Trek IV style end-of-episode cameo by a new ship of a new class that we don't know is in any way a better story...

This is one of the big things against Legacy as an "Enterprise show". SNW exists (and is quite good, and popular). And the 1701-G looks so much like the Discoprise, that I bet plenty of people didn't realize it was the Titan, and not the Discoprise, in the "Star Trek" brand bumper, for much of...

Wrote about it at length elsewhere (maybe you read it), but if the direction of Starfleet in the 25th century is to do a version of the late 23rd century "common parts in different configurations" ship building that was so successful with Connie-refit/Miranda/Excelsior via the Connie-III-class...

Because Season 3 is the Enterprise-G origin story. That is the story creatively that Matalas and co wanted to tell.

It depends how we interpret Future Janeway's the dialogue in "Endgame". I'm not sure if it is intentionally opaque or it was just wasn't touched on. I think the implication is that much of the technology she brought to 2378 that Voyager took on the entire Borg with was developed by Janeway and...

I think there is a blurry line between "correcting canon through statements" and "clarifying creative intent through statements". It's a case by case thing. An example of the former would be Matalas stating plainly that the motivation of the Borg (Queen) and the Changeling faction was outrage...

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...

George Lucas' direct inspiration for Star Wars was Flash Gordon, Foundation, Dune, and the serials he saw as a youth. But he gained confidence in the public's interest in space stuff (still, post-Apollo) due to Star Trek re-runs being popular. The extent of Star Trek's influence is that he felt...

This is the important part about Matals. Right here. I was in these forums (on an old account) in the early 2000s / late 1990s. I remember folks basically SCREAMING at Berman and Braga to grab the obvious story paths and potential character development standing right in front of them. And they...

I love Marvel films. They're great. But this is totally a phase of movies. Same as Westerns. In fact, Westerns are easily the best analogue. It'll come and it'll go. It may already be going. There's been good superhero films since Avengers: Endgame but audiences have been tepid and Marvel's...

Wanting to and doing it are two very different things For my part I wouldn't mind them continuing. Trek has room for all of it. And I'm under no illusions about the resumption of the Prime universe for films. All Trek movies except TMP were mid-budget pictures, a category that doesn't exist...

Twitter is the internet. Of course it's a cesspool. The parts of the internet that aren't a cesspool is because it just hasn't gotten there yet. However whatever retrospective about production is made (if it is made) will only encompassed a fraction of what has shared. They've been sharing the...

We did not. I'm all about Star Trek's bullshit science. But detonating Cold Fusion bomb in a volcano, dunking the Enterprise in the ocean to hide it, Kirk's riding around on a motorcycle in Beyond was enough for me. I enjoy the films, but they're not worth continuing. The best part of it are...

The production attention to detail is David Blass. He did what they should have done Discovery Season 1 and told his people "This is a period piece of the future... elaborate and recreate don't innovate" (in so many words). He has made exactly one mistake as I see it, nd that's that the...

I felt like this too for years, and then I saw the SNW Discoprise bridge and saw Ethan Peck spock performance and Celia Rose Gooding Uhura performance, and realized how much of a crock of shit the Kelvinverse really is. All style, no substance. But then again, JJ Abrams. We knew, before Star...

In terms of the canon of the Star Trek universe, this is something that needs to be actively seized upon. Prodigy has done some of it. If we get Legacy, it should be a part of it too. Warp Speed increased manyfold between 2051 and 2300, to the point that the Federation expanded up to the...
