Spoilers Picard News & Reviews from Outside Sources
- Thread starter The Old Mixer
- Start date
Wiki links no worky for others.
Legacy won't look like TNG/DS9/VOY. It'll look like Picard, which means it'll look like a cross between the TNG Movies and Discovery, with some Star Trek Online thrown in, and be filmed in the style of The 12 Monkeys.
In fandom, there's always the series that's built up and the series that's trashed. While I'm mostly looking forward to Legacy because I see it as Picard Season 4 without Picard, I'm also looking forward to it on a tactical level. Right now, SNW is the series that's built up and DSC is the series that's trashed. With Legacy, the mantle of "series that's trashed" will be transferred over. So, I can enjoy Disco in peace. The only ones still bashing DSC at that point will be the ones who'll really look bad because they can't let go after everyone else has moved on. Which works better for me.
As far as how many TNG/DS9/VOY actors they can get back, PIC Season 3 was the exception, not the rule. It'll be back to Season 1 and 2 levels. They only have so much money and they can only pull a stunt like that so many times. I assume they don't want to have just bottle shows. So, no, Legacy won't be filled to the brim with characters from previous series, because it's just not practical for them to do it, no matter what they might say. There will be some, but it won't be any worse than any of the other Kurtzman Series. Legacy is just being singled out because "I didn't like Picard Season 3!" and "I don't like Terry Matalas!"

Whatever I may think of Picard season 3 I expect Legacy to be more like current Trek.

With the TNG Cast back in PIC Season 3, I can see the venom -- yes, venom -- let's not pretend its something else coming from the people here, and the "So Very Tired!" rhetoric. I get it.
BUT
As far as Legacy, none of the cast except for Jeri Ryan was even involved in TNG, DS9, or VOY. So it's unfair to take it out on them. The TNG characters? Fine, whatever. The new characters? No. That's just "My Team vs. Your Team!!!"

I just want a Stargazer show.
My only thing about the new cast is that Jack Crusher just isn't that interesting.
So, as far as hooks go the Legacy series has a long road for me to get hooked. I hope it does so. A lot of the Kurtzman Trek series have done well with stuff I would consider uninteresting at first blush.

Yeah why does seven need a ''special counselor''? she was a Fenris Ranger for 20 years.
What's funny is that I'm mostly indifferent towards Picard Season 3 and I've really got nothing bad to say about Matalas, himself. It's this cult of personality that's built up around him. This idea that he's the Savior of Star Trek, that's driving me batty.
Most ship's counselors probably have a background in psychology and any related field regarding crew welfare. As Jack likely doesn't have that, he gets the title "special counselor" from Seven to justify his real position as simply her aide in shady--I mean, unorthodox--matters where he has more experience than her.
That I agree with.
The interview had the ring of being pitched to an audience of one.
He's her "go to guy" everyone has a go to guy or girl that does err sometimes shady things to get the job done, I mean look at Number 1 on SNW haha
Really, the whole reason Jack was made a "special counselor" was just a way to have the Enterprise G's bridge be a gender swapped version of TNG, with a female Captain and XO and a male counselor. Best not to analyze it any further than that.
Agreed.
Nothing in Season 3 made me go "wow" beyond an occasional character moment. It rang like a lot of Kurtzman era Trek to me so the fan adulation of Matalas seemed forced.
It's a little desperate. My God but the commenters at Trekmovie work themselves up about "Legacy."
Fifteen minutes of a recreated set from 1992 aren't much to base a TV project on.

I like the metallic Kurtzman aesthetic.
It's far more practical than the cruise ship era of the 1980's.
Terry is not Taylor Sheridan.
IMHC, Enterprise has been tasked with protecting Jack and his special transmitter nanoprobes from the Borg (or whoever else may want them).
The "special counselor" position was a means of feeding the bureaucracy (Jack has to do SOMETHING aboard Enterprise).
