Kurtzman intentionally killed Legacy?

And maybe, just maybe, Terry Matalas isn't that good a writer. I mean, even the fans who like Picard S3 have yet to name anything good about the season that isn't nostalgia. The guy literally used nostalgia to distract the audience from bad writing, and it actually seems to have worked among a certain vocal percentage of the audience.

I know I'm replying to a post from 3 months ago, and maybe this is part of the whole nostalgia thing, but my favorite thing in Season 3 was the Ro episode and getting the sequel to Pre-Emptive Strike that I didn't know I wanted. That conversation was probably the best Picard ever got.

Thing is, between the various tie-ins like the novels and comics we'd already five five different follow ups tp Preemptive Strike with Picard and Ro reuniting. Sure it was nice to actually see Michelle Forbes back, but otherwise there wasn't much there that someone like me hasn't seen before. The only real difference is this time it's canon.

I don't read any of those comics or novels so for me it was entirely new. The only books I've really read was the DS9 Season 8 books, and I know Ro came back but I don't remember her having any interaction with Picard.

Avatar Books 1 and 2.

Really. It was maybe 8 years ago I read those books and I just forgot.

Star Trek novels are niche content to a basically niche show. That's niche inception and only applies to the smallest of fractions of the people watching the show.

"The needs of the many..." definitely applies here.

Do you guys think Legacy has any chance of happening? Back when I watched the Picard finale, it didn't feel like they were setting up a new show, but more like a passing the torch kind of thing. The TNG crew are old and retire, but look, the kiddos got the Ent-G and get to follow in the TNG crew's footsteps.

It's a very similar ending to Disco s2, so there's definitely a hint that it'll lead to a new show.

Did anyone ever truly believe that the Picard thing would wrap up any other way than in a “big reunion blowout”?
Box ticking exercise but well done all the same.

If I weren't following Trek news, I wouldn't have expected SNW from Disco S2 finale either. I just take the show for what it is.

I always expected a TNG reunion in S3, but because Patrick opposed it early on, I just assumed it would have been an episode, not the whole season. Glad it was all season.

Matalas’ version of Legacy ain’t happening anytime soon, that’s for sure. He’s tied up on a million other projects.

The time for Paramount to snap him up for the show was during the strikes and their budget woes that precipitated this whole buyout mess.

I just have zero interest in another reading of the Star Trek Encyclopedia.

They would've been paying him for doing nothing (as a member of the WGA, he would've been prohibited from writing).

Matalas hewed too closely to Berman-era Trek for my taste (in all the wrong ways). More voices are a GOOD thing.

That was my point. The period where anything might’ve happened coincided with the industry shut down.

Mulgrew on what Picard presages for a Janeway series:

“I don’t know, guys. You’d all watch [a Janeway show]. You’d all support it. You’d be very good. But I think Picard got mixed reviews, frankly. I’m not sure you’re right everybody adored it. And I don’t think I could bear it if Janeway were disparaged. I don’t know. I don’t know. Sorry to be so lame about it, but it is what it is.”

Mixed reviews?!? Gasp!
