They had a section 31 short series planned but because Michelle Yeoh is suddenly highly in demand and very expensive they're compressing it down to a single TV movie instead.

Picard proved continuity, consistent characters, good plots, sensible writing are all totally optional considerations. No reason we can't get Michelle Yeoh to play a new character completely unrelated to the 2 aborted disasters of a role she was originally given. No reason to make section 31 a thing when they could just make Michelle a different person. Ffs if I have to pretend Jack is related to Picard I can ignore that a new character looks exactly like an old one. Or hell, Paris already did that poo poo and it was fine

Ah but soon modern Trek will also become classic Trek. The wheel of time never stops.

No I'm good because if I come to hate it I will stop watching it. There are some eh moments so far (every second Raffi is on screen) but the old crew minus the title character are just like TNG. Old Man Worf rules.

The wheel of time never stops. nah, plenty of room for different generations. we already have classic trek and that weird show that came before it in its own era. and everyone who had the self respect to skip Picard made fantastic choices. It's so bad it retroactively makes me hate TNG

There's absolutely no way she doesn't play Georgiou after the incredibly overwrought "to know [her] is to love [her] is to know [her]"-style eulogy they filmed in Discovery where every main character gets up and tearfully recounts how the murderous tyrant was actually the best person they'd ever met

I’m in the stretch run of DS9 and I’m liking it but I really don’t buy the direction they’ve gone with Kai Winn. Like yeah she always sucked but it’s quite a turn.

Well imagine if you were the most significant rabbi in the entire world and you fell in love with a guy and hosed him and called him schmoopy and then he pulled off his disguise and was Hitler. You might take quite a turn too.

Cause and Effect was the episode I showed my best friend and he’s now arguably a bigger Trek nerd than I am.

Inner Light and Measure of a Man don’t work nearly as well if it’s your very first exposure to those characters. Someone’s first episode should be something good but not iconic and pretty typical of the bulk of the show, like Ship in A Bottle, Disaster, or even Cause and Effect. Something that highlights the problem solving that usually drives most Trek episode plots. That way you hook them with something decent, give them a broad look at how the show works, and save the really character-centric and iconic episodes for later once they’ve had time to get used to the cast.

I think Darmok is a good general One Trek Episode, you get the premise across and have a drat good story even without Star Trekkin' it up too hard.

Cause and Effect doesn’t require the viewer to know any of the characters and is a good example of what TNG is like. A lot of the “best of Trek” like Measure of a Man or BoBW or even Inner Light rely to some degree on the viewer knowing the characters. Cause and Effect is solid, entertaining and economically communicates everything the viewer needs to know.

Def Cause and Effect. I don't think it's the best episode of the show, but it's one of the most entertaining and doesn't require any kind of pre-existing knowledge.

I don't think Inner Light really has anything you need to know about the characters ahead of time that isn't pretty well established in the episode itself. Later on when he flutes with his girlfriend in the jeffries tubes sure, you kinda need to know why the flute is a big deal.
