I would LOL for like an hour straight (before weeping once more over the state of pop culture) if the Picard series turns out to be a drat prequel, especially after there's been so much talk of "Finally, Star Trek is going to look to the future again, we need it now more than ever!"

Here’s my hot take: Reliant is a boring name for a series and Destiny is just terrible, especially when there’s already another series called STD

What if Reliant were about that black Captain and his first officer Chekov, and they never actually reach Seti Alpha 5?

I want it to be just a retelling of Galaxy Quest, beginning with Patrick Stewart the actor being harassed by what he thinks is his pal Jonathan Frakes, but is actually William T Riker, captain of the Titan who’s come to steal him from an alternate universe to replace that universe’s dead Picard.

In Stewart's announcement at that convention in Vegas he did say "20 years into the future," so... let's hope that's all there is to it and he's not just there to bookend a bunch of flashbacks.

20 years into our future. This will be the prequel to end all prequels, as we finally witness the gripping story of Jean-Luc Picard's venerable ancestor, President François-Fabien Picard, during the events leading up to World War 3.

I want a small, cozy Picard show. Use play-performance rules. Understated, single-room setpieces. Conversational dialogue leading to conflict and self-discovery. Few characters, hopefully TNG characters, and they are the source of dramatic developments. No villain, it's man v. self or man v. world, but no "bad guy" or "monster" types. Resolution will be soft, with no problems "solved" or questions "answered" but personal development and character gravity gained, as Picard's archetype demands. If a single punch is thrown by anyone but Worf, I'm done. Give me a slow, chatty trek with throbby engine noises in the background.

I think it would be fun to have a Star Trek series written by one of those comedy teams who did Parks & Rec and etc, and there's never really a "huge" arc. Sort of like early DS9, but like with even lower stakes, and it's mostly about the cast interactions and jooookes.

I want a Star Trek that crosses over with Power Rangers in Space, Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, Power Rangers SPD, and Power Rangers Ninja Steel, and considers them canon. I want Data explaining the properties of Ninja Steel, Worf fighting off a boarding party of Sting Wingers then bonding with the Galactabeasts, and Geordi discovering how to harness the Morphin grid in order to enhance the warp drive. Riker separating the saucer section to form Megazord. Picard tries to help Doggie Kruger reach a peace agreement with the Troobian Empire.

I'd be surprised if he were a main character. Stewart is getting older, and full TV season filming schedules can be intense. Bringing him in as a narrator/bookend/main character's mentor probably does make more sense.

I'm imaging him like Christopher Lloyd in the back to the Future cartoon where he had a live action science experiment at the end of each episode. I think they can limit filming requirements though if he's not on the bridge.

I don't know where this was posted on SA, but I saw this copy-pasted explanation of Star Trek 4...quote:It's unclear. Paramount hired JD Payne and Patrick McKay--the bobos who, with Bob Orci, wrote the original Star Trek 3 script that was so terrible it got them all fired, with Pegg then being asked to write a script and turn it in in about a month--to write Star Trek 4. Now, their Trek 3 idea was that a group of renegade, surviving Vulcans got their hands on some leftover red matter from the destruction of the Narada (I know, it got sucked into a black hole, fuckin' don't ask me), and announced their intentions to go to the remains of Vulcan and detonate the red matter, in the hopes of restoring the planet. So the Enterprise gets sent to stop them, and Kirk has this crisis of conscience after Spock tells him that depending on how much red matter there is, the detonation could conceivably wipe out their entire timeline and restore things to how they originally were before the Narada traveled through time, appeared and annihilated the Kelvin, so Kirk starts thinking, "Well, poo poo, a universe in which I knew my father might not be so bad." There's a small test detonation, the Enterprise is caught in a wave, and Kirk's father (or Shatner Kirk, both ideas were considered) appears, and Hemskirk/Shatkirk talks Pinekirk through his bullshit, Days of Future Past-style, convincing him that this timeline is its own thing and it must be allowed to continue.

I want them to do the CGed Data thing people keep mentioning, but I want it to be Picard downloaded into them shiny positronics instead of Brent Spiner and he (the Picard) uses his new eternal robit body to do kisses on everyone.

Picard and Data on a mission. An accident occurs: Picard's memory engrams are superimposed over Data's, effectively replacing him with Picard forever. Picard guides the development of the Federation over millennia from his base at the center of the Moon.

On the other hand, Patrick Stewart did seven years of twenty-six episode seasons, so even if he's not at his peak a ~13 episode season might be entirely doable for him.

I'm figuring it's going to be a limited one-off series running for, like, eight episodes at most. Edit: And Stewart spent several months shooting Logan in Louisiana and New Mexico during the dead heat of summer, so it's not like the guy isn't still a trooper.

Apple TV announced back in April that they would be producing a Foundation series written by David Goyer, but I’m not holding my breath. It seems like Asimov properties are constantly being bought and announced and then instantly enter development hell until studios give up or eventually put out garbage like I, Robot.
