I did wonder whether Moriarty is actually a villain in this, or they're going to "free" him to use against Lore. Afterall he was programmed to outsmart Data, and Lore's virtually identical in the intelligence department.
Picard Season 3 Teaser Trailer
- Thread starter Precious Tritium
- Start date
Couldn't they just go to the holodeck and request a new hologram capable of defeating Lore, but loyal to the heroes? Though not canon, the recent Lower Decks comic series reveals that requesting the holodeck to create sentient beings on demand by issuing the command "someone who can defeat Data" is apparently one of Mariner's hobbies.
How do you fight nostlagia? With more nostalgia!
But yeah that's what I thought too. They'll have a tense talky talky with him, convince him to help and Lore and whatever plot he was hatching will be toast.
I don't think Lore will be a villain. I think he'll be an anti-hero.
I'm wondering if he'll get a semi-heroic death or if he'll be left around as a way for Spiner to pop up later.
The way it's starting to look, if The End might not be The End END, I wouldn't be remotely surprised if they decided to do a fourth season after all.
Or at least a follow-up mini series - kind of hard to back out now that they've hyped S3 up as The Final Season.
I hope they do decide to do a fourth season. I hope they do it for as long as Stewart is willing and able.
Sir Patrick has said that he has to "to think about it" should they ask for a fourth season, but he wasn't ruling anything out, his new style when it comes to Trek is to not rule things out in any way anymore, lol. Goldsman also said in an interview that they would be willing to do a fourth season if the fandom asks for it and demands it. Wouldn't be the first time the fandom managed to get what it wants. (Hint: Strange New Worlds.)
On the other hand we must not forget or ignore that everyone is promoting the (for now) final season of their show. Of course they want to get hype and attention, and getting people to watch under the premise of "there could be more TNG nostalgia for you if you like this" is an excellent marketing strategy (for a change, Paramount is not known for this sort of thing otherwise, lol) that seems to keep fannish wishes and hopes up exactly right.
Matalas, however, has also said that the third season kinda passes things on to the next next generation. So... my guess is more around "we'll get a 25th century show with guest appearences from TNG characters". That would satisfy both the need for new things and the immense TNG nostalgia the fandom still has. And it would be good for Sir Patrick from a workload perspective - guest appearances mean he wouldn't have to work as much and he wouldn't have to carry the show on his shoulders as the series lead anymore.

I think guest roles in spinoff shows and movies (be it P+ or theater release) would be better for him.
The much talked about Starfleet Academy series could fit that bill, seeing as he was (is?) Chancellor of the Academy
I kind of hope they segue Prodigy into an Academy series given another couple of seasons. Though I guess the Protostar crew (and their target audience) might be a bit young for that.
Wesley was 15 when he first took the Entrance Exam. There were Cadets serving on the Valiant said to be 17. Chekov was 17 years old and in his fourth year at the Academy in the Kelvin Timeline. There is nothing that says people have to be 18 to enter the Academy. Indeed, considering the US military allows people as young as 16 to serve it seems odd that the allegedly non-military Starfleet which is otherwise based on the US military in every imaginable way makes people wait until they're 18.
Since I would imagine that they have a couple of years to explore Prodigy's story I imagine they will be plenty old enough when the time comes for the inevitable spin off.
Yeah, and with a people as evolved as the Federation I have no doubt that being 16 they will be able to join the Starfleet.
Indeed, in a society where kids are doing calculus when they're 5, someone who is 16 should be able to handle whatever Starfleet Academy is going to throw at them.
Plus different aliens age at different rates. An Ocompa (sp?) lives 9 years, 14 max. You'd never make captain outside the Kelvinverse but surely you'd be allowed in.
I'd love FENRIS RANGERS instead. Hopefully after Raffi and 7 inexplicably leave Starfleet and team up with Rios' hologram with all of his memories.
Add in Elnor and I'm sold. I liked the five seconds of found family he and Raffi had going last season.
