Star Trek: Legacy - Details On New Series Featuring Picard Cast, Can It Work??

[@rationaltrekker2509]

The development of Seven of Nine is nothing short of BRILLIANT! Not only is she a far more complex and interesting character, it feels organic. I don't know how much Jeri Ryan thought about what Seven's journey would be like, but she sure acted like she had a deep sense of it. CAPTAIN Seven got there the old-fashioned way: she EARNED it!

[@partciudgam8478]

At least 50% of Seven of Nine is organic... she has been through a lot, and Jeri Ryan conveys that pretty well, hope that gets done.

[@antonioernesto7892]

We want a series of Captain Seven!!

[@mitchodell4993]

It’s popular because it’s been truer to Roddenberry’s Trek than any of the rest that has come after Voyager and DS9.

[@KatharineOsborne]

Absolutely. And just better writing that goes somewhere with consistent characters. I hope the lesson the studio gets from this is not that they shouldn’t introduce new characters or try new things, the lesson should be that the writing has to be solid and consistent with the franchise (otherwise you fall into the trap Star Wars fell into and was only rescued by Andor).

[@harvey1965]

Regarding Matalas's 'Star Trek Legacy' my sense is that in being a ship based story - the 'legacy' aspect doesn't simply relate to TNG, DS9 & VOY characters, but instead to the 'character' which was the 24th Century (now 25th) time period. In this period we could visit DS9 herself and various other legacy locations- additionally, S.T.L. would hopefully be serialised - standing in contrast to S.N.W's. But most importantly - a 'legacy' series would be made by people who truly understand & honour Roddenberry's vision of Trek in a manner which we many millions of 'legacy Star Trek' fans are missing, wanting if not aching for - Matalas's work in Season 3 of Picards stands as the BEST Kurtzman era Trek so far created: time for more!

[@Will-hv1bz]

Kirk and Archer's bodies are on the station. It's entirely possible surviving TOS and ENT actors could appear as well. If Mariner and Boimler can appear in SNW, anything is possible.

@@rokkenrobyn9767 it was apparently the console hit during the phaser fight. The video I watched pointed it out during the phaser fight. (I think it was in TrekCulture's review of the episode, if I'm not mistaken, but it could have been screencrush)

[@robertareason7299]

I love shows that have a full story to it for a series. I think it is one reason that this season of Picard is so popular, not just because of everyone coming back but the amazing story being told.

[@Firefox13A]

The Titan crew is very likable. Shaw is great. I love Sidney LaForge. Seven getting a new show is a win for me. I do think Star Trek should take on the ‘miniseries’ model instead of chasing ‘seven season standard’. It makes for more qualitative storytelling. Legacy can fit that model.

[@brownro214]

Whatever they do, Shaw apparently won't be in it.

[@davidc.2878]

@@brownro214 Well, he is dead.

[@davidc.2878]

I definitely agree--less is more--seasons of 8-10 episodes is plenty. And Terry Matalas needs to bring in some writers who aren't so ham-fisted and obvious in their dialogue writing. I think the stories and characters in Picard Sea. 3 were great, but the dialogue was often excruciatingly explicit about characters' emotions as well as hampered by a lot of pscychobabble. Just one small but illustrative case in point: in the final episode Worf says at one point to Riker: "It is a good day to die with honor." The "with honor" is completely gratuitous--as if the writers were afraid we wouldn't understand Worf's warrior ethic implicitly, if he had just said--as in fact he usually said on the original TNG--"Today is a good day to die." This sort of overwriting happens all the time in Season Three and almost had me give up in the first few episodes, but the story and the characters kept me coming back. This is Star Trek, you can assume a certain intelligence from your audience.

[@doinkers81]

I like Commander Seven but Captain Liam Shaw needs to headline the show. He just grows on you and he's a very different type of captain from Picard, Sisko & Janeway. Another idea is a Riker series. It's time to let him shine on his own

[@billkeithchannel]

I like the idea of a 16-episode season with half of those using one legacy character per episode to use their skills to help the next-next generation. So, half the season they are on their own and the other half they get legacy help. I think each of the TNG cast would love to be a guest star at least once per season.

[@BC08]

Yeah, Shaw is pretty awesome.

[@traceyjadeboyer5181]

I have to disagree, I did not like Shaw at all and hope that they do not put him in the new show.

[@MantasticHams]

@@traceyjadeboyer5181 I find shaw fun on screen, but no, i agree, i do not want him leading his own show. If he was an ensign or something it mightb e different, but i just dopn't think hes that type of character that i want to see making decisions for another 20-50 mins each week. I think he comes off so well in picard because we are drip fed a little bit about him at a time, and at first we hate him, but then most of the audience i think are pleasantly surprised each time we get a new drip, he's a complex character. Also, thats why hes DEAD. SOOOOO dead lol. If he doesn't die, he's going to choose not to be a captain anymrope, those are the 2 choices. Picard tho? DEAD. DEAD. Wait and watch.

[@DaveMiller2]

Exactly. Shaw is a complex and interesting character, and he is different than the other captains. You definitely need that for the captain of a new show to work. Shaw and the crew of the Titan would work very well as a show. They also need to banish Kurtzman and secret hideout to the Delta Quadrant, never to be seen again.

[@imperatorsclavinarum4194]

Seven of Nine as the captain of the Enterprise! I would love to see that!

[@btrees]

That would be great. It would also be a great way for her to show what she’s adsorbed into her being from Janeway.

[@angelbabycards3595]

Honestly, as much as I like Ryan and her characters, history is a good teacher. Ryan does small bits well, but she has a tendency to fully actualize boss babe energy, and to such an extent, after you're past her obvious physical eye candy, 'you end up having to feed her and put up with her subtle serious nagging M.O..., if you take my meaning.' .. Note: You typically have to have been married to somebody who looks, sounds, and acts like Ryan to fully appreciate my comment. I think Spock said it best in the episode, Amok Time, when he remarked: \\// - Spock : Stonn, she is yours. After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true.

[@mrt1r]

Do you write for the Simpsons by any chance?

[@aralifefarming]

that's exactly what was planned as you see by the finale as the last generation passes the reigns to its new legacy.

[@brownro214]

Well, you got it in Picard episode 10. Will you get anymore? We'll see.

[@mottle_]

The Titan crew need their own show. Her crew are so fleshed out and complex for only having so much screen time. Terry Matalas and company have shown that you can harken back to the days of character driven scenes of the TNG era and come out the other end having created something great. Sure, the action is fun, but it's all fluff without a cast to get to know and care for.

[@TheSafetySmith]

With Jeri Ryan as a captain of a star ship?! Oh hell ya, I 'm all in!

[@anikinkhan]

Be a shame to waste any of the new cast additions of season 3. All of them were hits! Jack Crusher, Laforge Sisters, Captain Shaw..wouldn't mind seeing more of them.

[@dustinherk8124]

people like jack? his whole character is like a schroedinger's cat. he both did and didnt exist in the head canon on fans shipping Picard and Crusher post TNG (or post nemesis at least). but then some one took a look into that box and he did exist. but in a way that was so disturbingly alien too the characters personalities. I dont care what bs line they fed, about keeping jack safe because "muh picard legacy". Beverly wouldnt of kept a whole ass son, away from Picard. especially considering that in spite of all that danger, from "muh picard legacy" she knows just how capable he is as a man, to protect his own too the best of his abilities. She knows this, FIRST HAND, serving as his chief medical officer, regardless of situation that resulted in her husband's death, because she knew Picard fought his hardest too protect his friend/her husband, too. so keeping the kid hidden, doesnt make ANY sense. i hate the character because of it. there's flaws and bad decisions. and then there's rewriting character personalities, and Jack is the canon fodder that resulted from that character rewrite.

[@MoonjumperReviews]

I think continuing this storyline could work pretty well. If it were me, what I would be inclined to do is let SNW do what it’s doing (although I want to see them be more mindful of the pre-TOS continuity, to clean up the mess Discovery left in its wake by continuing to pivot the timeline back towards a universe we recognize-i.e. the reveal of the USS New Jersey on Picard proves that, yes, the original Connie still existed). Meanwhile, allow “Legacy” to be the dark Trek, a la DS9, much as Picard has already been. Let it essentially be “Star Trek: X-Files,” “Star Trek: Conspiracy.” You got the right characters for it: Raffi (Ms. Conspiracy Theorist, herself), Seven (who like Raffi, spent years living on the seedy outskirts of the Federation), Jack, same thing. You got our lovable dipshit from Chicago who followed all the rules only to find out it was all a lie. You got the perfect formula-and if they want to bring in Section 31 with Michelle Yeoh (if they still afford her!) then THIS would be the place to do it. Who’s to say she didn’t land in the 25th century? Perfect place to bring back DS9 characters, who already know the Federation isn’t as squeaky clean as early TNG Picard once believed. A perfect setup to feature characters who know that the truth is sometimes very grey.

[@johnarthurlawrence4860]

LOVE 💗 IT!!! I'd love to see more of Phillipa. See my comment above. For me, getting used to ST/Disco took a while, but once I realized I had to get over being used to ST/TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT, I was HOOKED. I "Binge Watched" it on Paramount+. It's more of a "Star Trek ODYSSEY", like the TOS "Movie Trilogy" ST/II - IV. Hey, now there's an idea for a title: "ST ODYSSEY"...

[@Scottlp2]

DS9 like the best SF (SG1/A, B5), had dark and humor. Picard S3 while very good lacks humor which is why as good as it is, in some ways I’m looking forward more to more ST SNW.

[@johnarthurlawrence4860]

And oh, yeah. There's the "oops, we're not living in the REAL Prime Universe since Voyager's episode Timeless", then END GAME further removed us from the Prime Universe...

Trying to avoid spoilers, but the way they ended the series absolutely leaves the door open for a spin-off. So much so that it even feels like they were actively suggesting that they are planning to do one. I'd like to see what comes of it, even if it only lasts one season.

[@jeffreystanley7884]

Star Trek Legacy is something I have said should have been done for years. You could have O'Brian show up in a couple episodes based around young recruits out of the Academy, and Riker could shoe up in an episode or two about something he is doing now as an Admiral and maybe he has a ship with Worf as his Captain and Troy as his Counsel as he works diplomatic issues and Seven and the Enterprise crew have to assist with some dangerous conflict resolution from a new... or old but not heard from for a long time enemy like let's say the Breen. The Federation is going to need to rebuild from this latest deal but you could use the Legacy characters to fill out the storyline on occasion going forward. Tie them all together around the Enterprise/Seven crew having to lead a new fleet.

[@geminimex1]

Yes! It should be a crossover show from all previous treks. So many stories can be brought back and finished.

[@cpenn524]

I like the idea of 3 episodes for a Legacy character. But you pic 3 separate story lines. First three episodes follow one, second three follow the second, etc…. In the 10th episode, the three story lines converge for an epic 1.5 hour finale.

[@Melkur1981]

Like others have mentioned, keep SNW as the TNG/VOY series and make Legacy the DS9 of the new franchise. You can experiment with darker themes, but keep the optimism alive.

[@alexmcintyre8229]

And just like DS9 Star Trek Legacy could still do mostly stand alone/episodic stories. Most of DS9 was episodic stories with story arc at the end & the start of the season with the middle of the season being stand alone stories. Star Trek Legacy could use the Dr. Who formula where you have stand alone episode with a B plot that runs the entire season. Even if Star Trek Legacy takes a tone similar to SNW, SNW is set in the 23rd century before Captain Kirk and Star Trek Legacy is set in the 25th century. You can still use the episodic formula and have weekly adventures that are different than SNW.

[@nathanwilkins3039]

Terry Matalas should take the helm of Trek and use his writing team to create the new spin off series of the Titan. Go back to the standard 24 episode series like TOS, TNG, etc and focus on the crew of the Titan and also use Jack Crusher. It's a continuation of Trek and hands the baton of the TNG cast to another.

[@powerbadpowerbad]

I'd like to see them go back to that standard 24 episodes also,more Trek-PLEASE. Haven't watched Strange New Worlds,but,a new,next generation show would be good.

[@Psi-Storm]

There is no way to finance 24 episodes per year, while keeping the same quality as Picard or SNW. You basically have to cut those episodes in half and add 20 minutes of people talking in one of the set rooms to each episode.

[@adrianvanleeuwen]

Definitely a continuing series of Legacy is a perfect choice with Terry Matalis as showrunner. As long as they keep bringing on suspenseful plotlines that keep us guessing and great writing, I am all for it. However, bring up the lighting a bit more about 20 percent on set would be good, please! Otherwise, this is excellent Trek!

I don't think the petitions directly get a show made, but instead add to the body of interest in a potential show, that the studio takes into account. Essentially: ratings, overall praise and interest in the writing and production, general feedback on the show runner(s), fans making themselves heard online through social media and petitions, and the studio's overall feelings on the show's ability to generate revenue through subscriptions and merchandise compared to its production cost, and how potential show runners and production teams delivered in budget and time..

[@ReRe-yl6dq]

spot on, picard season 3 is great because of the TNG crew, especially Riker and Worf and Data.

[@jpspitzersf]

I think Captain Shaw already proved he wasn't an idiot when he didn't hesitate for a second to defend Jack Crusher when he learned his true identity. And on the "Commander Seven" thing, I think it was clear that Shaw's problem was with the Borg, he hates Picard because he was Locutus and tries not to let anything remind him that Seven was a Borg. What if Shaw's ship with all the legacy characters, it has to merge its crew with the Borg Cube from the season 2 finale of Picard and the new Queen to fight a new Borg threat. You have a Federation ship with more Borg technology than Federation technology, a captain facing and dealing day to day with what he fears and perhaps hates the most and you have the next generation of the next generation saving the galaxy or at least trying to.

He'd have opposition at every turn and the audience rooting for him! The series would have a certain noire patina, being about a man who lost both parents and his best friend, and who knows what it's like to have a demon inside him. His show could go places!

[@jaredshaw5023]

There is one story from a “Star Trek Enterprise” that never got resolved. That was when a space station was repairing the enterprise and refused to let them leave because of not ample payment. So with the crew ended up doing is destroying the space station and blowing it up into 1 million pieces and the space station started at the end of the episode the building itself. They could probably have the space station come back with a vengeance one of these shows and retaliate against the president crew of the enterprise. In someway, maybe even take control of the enterprise. And have the enterprise try to kill them in addition to the space station. What do you think about that?

[@MattJohno2]

My dream ideas for a series: "The Romulan War" - Plots follow a multi-episode storyline, all centred on different ships throughout the Earth-Romulan war. "Star Trek: Andromeda" - Basically a huge reset-button. A giant ship, housing up to 2,000 crew is sent on a one-way journey to explore and colonize the Andromeda galaxy. We've seen a lot of the Milky Way but it's almost like the only galaxy in the universe. It could either traverse through a temporary wormhole, or travel there using an experimental technology. And: "Star Trek: Utopia Planitia". It could literally be just one season, showing how Starfleet ships are brought to life. We only get to see construction scenes either in timelapse form, like in Beyond, or brief moments like in Enterprise when Columbia was shown.

I just heard this commentary about commentator's hopes to see more interaction between Shaw and 7 after Picard 3 ended. Unfortunately, Capt Shaw died in second to last episode of Picard Season...so unfortunately that great interaction can't now occur if Legacy DOES come into being. All that being said, I agree...I'd have LOVED to see Shaw and 7 interact in Legacy..Shaw was THE best character and development of Picard 3...especially his killer speech in 10 forward in Episode 7( I believe) about how Picard wiped everyone of his friends out at Wolf 379...thoughtful writing about 7 and her development and experiences is where some rich potential exists.. we'll see what if anything comes about.

I think it can work. Star Trek: Legacy just needs to finish or connect episodes with TNG films like see what happened to the Remans, the nexus, and more legacy characters like Kira Nerys, Quark, Miles O’Brien, Charity’s, Janeway, etc. I would even like to see episodes like what happened to Dr. Taylor from The Voyage Home, torres and Paris, Lily and Cochrane from First Contact, and use a lot of ideas from the Star Trek books. I would like to see more variety in terms of hearing different genres of music, classical and modern. More relatable moments for example Odo depressed because Major Kira is now with Shakaar, and Bashir’s breakup, Jack’s illness, and seeing bullied and racism like young Spock bullied because of him being Half-human and being dyslexic. And have some references and connections from TNG/DS9/VOY to keep newcomers and mainstreamers to get into those shows. They can even have a episode where they talk about what happened in different timelines. Maybe if they go more than three seasons, first two can be serialized, and third episodic. Or just do one episode in the first episode than three episodes serialized, than the next two episodic but have the last episode connect back to the very first episode (idea from TOS film series). Last idea would be have ideas from the Star Trek: Legacy game for Xbox 360 and use T’uerell as the main villain exploring through all these generations (and TV shows).

[@SkrillDisc]

I would like to see the new next generation in its own series, but I think there is more to explore. Having a series that follows legacy characters only would be great.

[@decreeradio4826]

I like your idea, almost like a serialized anthology. 🤔

[@efwewfwef1549]

the younger crew was absolutely brilliant and very well casted!!! they all had great chemistry together and maybe sprinkle some jordy laforge in.... he aged very well and had such an authority in his appearences. overall give 7of9 some techy twisty borg stories to feed off since she is such a unique charakter in the star trek universe! some thing like in picard season 1 in that borg cube! i hope we will see some future series!!!

[@jamiefoyers2800]

Anything with Jeri Ryan/Seven of Nine gets the thumbs up from me!. Embroiled in Strange New Worlds at the minute...have to get back onto Picard at some point. There's a glut of TREK at the minute and I hope they don't exhaust themselves in putting too many out. That's the problem...

[@kronosaur417]

There are 3 shows I want made, most of which are not the ones being worked on. First off, I want a continuation of Enterprise set in the late 22nd century, either during the earth Romulan war or leading up to it, the NX-01 would undergo the Dug Drexler refit, and Trip would be retconned to still be alive. Second show would be a show set during the lost era, jus after the decommissioning of the Enterprise B and the launch of the Enterprise C, though possibly further up the timeline during the federation Cardassian war, and feature characters like Miles O’Brien and Captain Benjamin Maxwell aboard the USS Rutledge, and finally the last show I want is essentially what is being proposed with Star Trek Legacy, the next next generation’s adventures during the 25th century

[@jamesblackwell5141]

Finally, there is giddy excitement for new Star Trek!

[@barbarabailey6356]

I still think Seven of Nine should have became Captain of Voyager.

They could do what they did with Enterprise Season 4. 10 episodes with a 3-2-2-3 narrative structure. Like 4 stories/season

[@susanscott8653]

Yes! I have been saying this for ages. 👽

[@DavidRichard-kn6yl]

They need a plot where they require the Old characters to step in. Sisqo coming back would be epic

[@schimenti1]

The difference between Legacy and SNW will be in the dialogue and style. They can both be episodic because they will feel so vastly different.

[@kevlarchicken]

this is exactly what i suspected and wanted and with Terry Matalas YES

[@igotudave]

What about Admiral Janeway puts Shaw and Seven on a mission with a Quantum Slipstream ship to chart the Delta quadrant and it’s species?

[@marlls1989]

I think the differentiation is that the new show will pamper people who enjoy TNG and VOY, whilst STW is more geared towards people who like TOS

[@marlls1989]

I love VOY and TNG and hate TOS, I also love SNW. Albeit the last episode of SNW I found a bit boring maybe due to my lack of enjoyment on TOS

[@BenMcQuillan-wx2xe]

For me as someone who grew up watching voyager, deep space nine and the next generation I do want a next gen strange new world style show, sure more in-depth would be great. Not to keen on the section 31 idea, it would feel like it's in the discovery universe

[@luisneriago]

I think there should only be one live action Star Trek show to avoid franchise fatigue. So a solution would be to give Mtalas control of the motion pictures were he can continue telling the story of the Titan/TNG/DS9 timeline

[@darkguardian1314]

Star Trek Legacy the TV series and not the old Xbox 360 game by the same name.

[@WhatDidIMiss]

LOL! I thought the same thing when I heard the name the first time.

[@stephengordon576]

Shaw is great. A by the book Shaw in conflict with his cavalier first officer in Seven with a LT crusher and Ensign LaForge.

[@neilbiggadike5094]

Maybe it would be interesting to have a series about one of the villains and their back-story. It could also span over or involve several star trek characters. We had this a little with Dr Sung and maybe Lore. Why not something charting the rise of Ducat the Cardassian?

[@rokkenrobyn9767]

Soong

[@emptyvoices31]

I would like Ira Steven Behr to come and help co-write and work as the show runner. He was behind DS9 and he's awesome with overarching plot lines and he's not afraid to go gritty or dark. The two together would be a fantastic team. He also helped write the 4400 and worked on Outlander. He knows how to tell a good story and do character development.

[@toddponton3406]

I think a non-serialized legacy show would be just fine but I would like to see a reoccurring villain for a change like the Duras sisters were or something like that for example, instead of a villain of the week which is fine for I would say most of the time but let’s see if familiar villain constantly show up.

[@Watcher1134]

Iconian War Please

[@gregbadioli_915]

Exactly, I think that the wormhole that formed in season 2 of picard has something to do with the Iconians

[@e.flames5476]

I just wanna know what Geordi is hiding because I think he repaired the Enterprise D & it's in one of the hanger bays, also Seven was wrong when she said on Picard, Voyager went farther than any of the ship that was on display at Geordi museum... because if I remember correctly Picard & Kirk both ventured farther than the Delta Quadrant for a short period. An Voyager had more of a extend stay in the Delta Quadrant. My opinion...

[@davidc.2878]

Actually, 35,000 signatures is a lot. A few thousand letters saved TOS from cancellation at the end of season two. Just like politicians, industry execs assume that for every person who actually communicates with them, there are ten people (or more) who feel the same way but didn't bother to write or sign. There's nothing like a guaranteed fan base to help greenlight a project. So don't underestimate the power of the people's voice!

[@francescoiadicicco1266]

Capitain 7 of 9 is enough to me to stay glued to whatever they throw at us.

[@chriscutress1702]

Legacy has so much potential especially if good writers are released to make the show original and create new storylines and adventures while allowing past characters to appear from time to time but not as long term regulars.

[@Martinbeef]

Legacy would be brilliant, I think!

[@trekgirl65]

Hey dude, you did not get the memo, the crew from the Titan-A is now on Enterprise-G with Seven as the New Captain. Cath up will ya.

[@radicalizeme]

Oof, this hits different after watching Picard finale (I won’t spoil!) You definitely have a point about how they probably shouldn’t do the Titan series unless they have a good premise that sets it apart

[@luxxulyanite]

I want captain Shaw to be on Enterprise G, and having "Space the final frontier" intro monologue.

[@disdanzafilm]

Space.. the final fron... oh common I don't do this shit! Engage!

[@luxxulyanite]

@@disdanzafilm hahhhah. That's funny. But those words "space, the final frontier" must never be forgotten. The name Enterprise also must never be forgotten. Btw, there are many letters in the alphabet left for generations to come.

[@alexisesguerra2544]

“These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. It’s BS mission…”😂

[@Will-hv1bz]

I suspect Star Trek Legacy would involve various legacy characters from the first 5 series. Both Archer and Kirk's bodies are on the station and the other 3 series are all in the direct time line. A well written checking on those characters from the past would do well. That's something SNW, LD, SA, and prodigy can't offer. It would also raise views of existing properties whish would help ST revenue. It's honestly a no brainer. Give the fans what they want.

[@rickkarrer8370]

I would definitely love to watch both a Star Trek Legacy and a Strange New Worlds, even if they're kind of similar. However, I'm a big fan, so I think you're right in that it could be /Potential point of failure to make both shows episodic explorations. One way they could offset this, it simply and shows apart from each other. Essentially, you get one show, then six months later you get the other show. This would help keep people subscribing to Paramount+, and fill peoples desire for Trek between each show.

[@BrettHoTep]

After watching season 2 and Beverly talking about losing wesley. All I was thinking of surely wes could have found a few minutes out of his time cop schedule to let her know he was ok.

[@ddtor2746]

I’m hearing there’s gonna be a starfleet academy series
