Well sure, any series could do any story if they really want to. Enterprise did a story about the invention of velcro. But those Deep Space Nine stories were 30 years before Legacy's time, so it's pretty ancient history at this point.
Which series would you want next?

Time travel or another Klingon sleeper ship and they have to make peace with the new century.
Seems to me that those people just want a continuation of 90's Trek because that's what The Lord Terry told them he would give them. Nothing but follow-ups on things and characters from TNG, DS9 and Voyager.
It's been too long to hope Legacy will actually be a thing anymore. The hype was high when PIC S3 ended but now it seems like a pipedream.
Yeah I voted for Legacy on the poll but as long as we get a good show out of Academy I'll be content.

Yep. And I for one don’t need any of that.
Seems like this theoretical series is ticking all the right boxes.
[✓] Is different enough to Strange New Worlds to offer variety.
[✓] Appeals to a section of the fanbase that currently isn't being targeted by other shows.
[✓] May feature characters people already like and want to see more of.
To be honest, I personally found Picard to be a very dark and cynical show under all of its showrunners and I'd hope that any follow up series has a lot more of Lower Decks' and Prodigy's '90s Trek spirit to it. I think they can do better.

Well, let us all know when this hugely different show gets green-lit.
Dude, if that show ever gets green-lit I won't ever shut up about it.
It kinda feels like it. I just think people should respect her decision rather than comment on her age and the so-called limitations that comes with that. It's not something anyone would say to her on social media without upsetting her.
Granted.
No actress is obliged to to update her IMDB with upcoming projects, of course.
Excuse the double post. Too many notifications.
1.I dont believe anything about the Enterprise-G would happen in conjunction with SNW.
2.The format is key.
And I mentioned Matalas's lack of availability in the post I made.
We talked about it before.

Time is a bit irrelevant in streaming Trek.

Despite my reservations around Legacy I do think it can still happen. There are just things in motion that necessitate a wait and see.
First, you have Starfleet Academy and that had been in development for a year when Picard Season 3 released. Section 31 was in a similar place so there was already some financial commitments.
Second, you have the merger talks which would have given some pause to anything not already cooking.
Third, you have Paramount in a really bad place financially. We might look back and say, "Of course Season 3 was a hit." But Matalas and company couldn't know that she would reasonably move on to the next project.
All that means is that Legacy might still be able to occur in time. It's not like Paramount is fast at anything.
Yeah, soon is just not an option. There is enthusiasm for the project, both from fans and members of the Trek family, but whether or not that makes a difference is highly debatable.
Think back to 2018 when Section 31 was barely in the discussion stage.

What? No one here is talking about her age or any limitations associated with it. The simple fact of the matter is, Jeri Ryan is a working actress who was presented with what many actors would consider a golden once in a lifetime opportunity and she turned it down for silly reasons.
I mean, everyone does it, and Ryan's IMDB does list her upcoming projects anyway, the only one there is that animated movie I mentioned.
There has been mention of her age a few pages back.
You may call It silly reasons, I beg to differ. What if the script was absolutely dire and she did us all a favour by turning it down? Let's just make something the the lead didn't think was worth her time, as I'm sure that'll do wonders for the franchise.
That was probably me. What I was referring to was the inescapable truth that as women age in Hollywood, the less likely they are to be cast in various roles. I'm not saying that this is a good thing. It's a travesty. But that doesn't make it any less true.
In that case, why didn't she say she turned it down because the script was terrible instead of the reason she actually gave that she turned it down because Matalas wasn't involved? That's the reason she gave for turning it down, and that is a silly reason to turn down a once in a lifetime opportunity that most actors dream of.
She probably has enough integrity to not care about all that. A lot of actors and actresses are quite genuine in that sense.
It's ok for us to debate the advantages of taking on any old project, or the disadvantages of not, because we aren't her. But for her, this is her life. This is time she won't get back. Money isn't always a motivator when it comes to taking on a project that would burn years of your life away, especially when you've been in the industry for so long. And she doesn't appear to be destitute at the moment.
Diplomatic approach, it happens all the time. She doesn't appear to be nasty by nature and absolutely would've been aware of who wrote the pitch. So, why be cruel?
In her words.
Grade A diplomacy, right there. That's certainly what it feels like to me. It's almost like a text book example of what many actors have said when they think a script is basically crap.
Guys, I know we won't find a way to agree on this, but what's done is done. There will be plenty more nails to hammer into the coffin of Star Trek Legacy as the years go by, but this abandoned project won't be the thing that buries the idea. It's going to be something else, by somebody else, starring somebody else. Just bide your time.
Revisiting this quote, it feels like Denise Crosby levels of hubris and stupidity, holy fuck!
Even if it was not Legacy she was offered the lead in an ongoing show, something most actors dream about.
The state of entertainment is very bad right now, and for working actors it's even worse.
Last I checked Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum were pitching a Smallville revival for the last three years, that's how bad it is in Hollywood.
If I can't have a continuation of Deep Space 9 then I'll take Legacy.
