Terry Matalas is not getting another Star Trek show as long as Alex Kurtzman is in charge. Not now, not ever. Because that's the kinda guy Kurtzman is.

A familiar flash of light broke the stillness of the room. Picard didn’t turn, though his lips pressed into a thin line, as if anticipating this very moment. “Always so serious, Jean-Luc. I thought you’d be more… relieved, given the circumstances.” Q’s voice, casual as ever, broke the silence. Picard closed his eyes for a brief moment before speaking, his voice steady. “Relieved, Q? I’ve just watched my son wield a power I barely understand to stop a threat that could have ended not just this universe, but all of them. And I’m supposed to feel *relief*?” Q stepped forward, his tone softening. “Ah, Jean-Luc, always so melodramatic. But, let’s not pretend you haven’t been through worse. You’re still here, aren’t you? And so is Jack. Quite the accomplishment, I’d say.” Picard turned to face him, his expression hard but searching. “Why now, Q? After all these years, all the tests, why did you choose *now* to involve Jack? And don’t give me your usual cryptic nonsense. I want the truth.” Q raised an eyebrow, a faint smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth, though it didn’t reach his eyes. “The truth? Oh, Jean-Luc, I thought you of all people would’ve figured it out by now.” He sighed, pacing slightly, his tone shifting to something more reflective. “It was never just about *you*. From the moment I introduced you to the Borg, this was all about what was coming. About Jack.” Picard’s eyes narrowed, suspicion clear. “Jack? What does he have to do with the Borg? Or the Multiverse Borg Queen?” “The Borg were never the real threat,” Q replied, his voice growing quieter, more deliberate. “They were a warning, a test. You see, Jean-Luc, the universe-and the multiverse-has a way of evolving. Of preparing itself for larger threats. The Multiverse Queen? She wasn’t going to stop at assimilating technology or even planets. She would’ve taken entire realities, consumed them. But you, and more importantly, Jack, were key to stopping her.” Picard shook his head slightly, trying to piece it together. “Jack… He’s not just human, is he?” Q’s grin returned, more genuine this time. “Ah, you’re finally catching on. Jack is… special. His power-his ability to connect with his multiverse counterparts-that didn’t come from nowhere. It’s a combination, really. Part you, part the Borg, and, well… part *me*.” Picard’s expression hardened, the realization settling in. “Part… *you*?” Q folded his arms, leaning against the wall casually as if the conversation were of little consequence, though his words carried weight. “You see, when I first pushed your Federation into the path of the Borg, it wasn’t just about testing humanity’s resolve. It was about preparing you, inoculating you, for what was to come. The Borg? They were a small taste of the larger infection-one that could have destroyed everything if humanity wasn’t ready.” “Inoculating us?” Picard’s voice was tight. “The lives lost at Wolf 359… all the destruction. You call that *preparation*?” Q nodded, uncharacteristically serious. “It was painful, yes. But look at what came of it. Your Federation adapted. You developed defenses, strategies, technology-antibodies, if you will. That first encounter with the Borg, it was necessary. Without it, humanity would’ve been obliterated by the first true multiversal threat. You had to be tested.” Picard’s voice was tense. “Tested… or manipulated?” Q shrugged. “What’s the difference, really? The point is, Jean-Luc, everything I did, every nudge, every test-it was all leading to this. To Jack.” Picard’s face softened as he absorbed the words, understanding but not fully accepting. “Jack’s powers… his connection to the multiverse, how much of this is you?” Q straightened, his eyes sharp but distant. “Not as much as you think. His powers stem from a unique combination-your time as Locutus, the Borg technology embedded in your genetic code, and, well, a bit of… unexpected evolution. Call it a delightful twist of fate. Jack’s Q lineage allowed him to access those abilities, amplifying them in ways even the Borg couldn’t have predicted.” Picard’s brow furrowed, confusion seeping into his voice. “Q lineage?” Q smiled, an almost fond expression crossing his face. “Oh, did I forget to mention that? There’s a reason I’ve taken such a… personal interest in you, Jean-Luc. You’re family.” Picard blinked, thrown by the unexpected statement. “Family?” “Yes, family,” Q replied, with a teasing smirk. “A long time ago, your great, great, great… oh, so many *greats*… grandmother had a rather *intimate* relationship with a member of the Continuum. Namely, *me*. The result was a rather unique bloodline, one that carried just the faintest spark of Q. I’ve been watching over you and your line ever since.” Picard was stunned, the implications swirling in his mind. “You’re saying you’re my ancestor?” Q grinned, leaning closer. “I prefer to think of myself as your *great-great-great-*something, yes. But it’s true. A part of the Continuum runs through your veins, which is why Jack’s powers manifested as they did. It wasn’t just the Borg’s genetic tampering. It was the combination of my legacy and the technology that created something… more.” Picard stood in stunned silence, the full weight of what Q was saying settling in. “So Jack was… engineered for this?” “Not engineered. Evolved,” Q corrected, smiling faintly. “Jack’s powers, his ability to connect with his multiversal selves, made him the one thing the Multiverse Borg Queen couldn’t predict. A variable she couldn’t control. And that’s why he was the key to stopping her. Where others would have been assimilated, Jack was immune. His mind, his essence-it transcended the boundaries she relied on.” Picard shook his head, still grappling with the enormity of it all. “Why him? Why not me?” Q’s tone softened, almost kind. “Because, Jean-Luc, your role was never to be the savior. It was to prepare the way. Jack was always going to be the one to face this threat, but without you… without everything you endured, he wouldn’t have stood a chance.” Picard looked out the window again, his expression heavy, reflective. “You’ve tested me so many times, Q. And now I see, it was never really about me.” “Oh, Jean-Luc, don’t sell yourself short,” Q stepped closer, his voice sincere. “You’ve played your part beautifully. You’re still as stubborn, noble, and infuriating as ever. But no, this was never just about you. It was about ensuring that when the real threat came, humanity-and your legacy-would be ready.” Picard turned to Q, his gaze softened, not with anger, but with understanding. For so long, he had believed he was the center of Q’s games. But now, he saw the larger picture. “And what now? Is Jack still in danger?” Q smiled, that old spark returning to his eyes. “Danger? Oh, there’s always danger, Jean-Luc. But Jack? He’s more than ready. He’s evolved in ways none of us could have predicted-even me. He’ll be fine.” Picard nodded slowly, the weight of his son’s legacy heavy but no longer crushing. He understood now. Jack’s path was his own, but it was born from the trials he had faced. The future was uncertain, but for the first time, Picard felt a sense of peace. “Thank you, Q.” Q grinned, his playful charm returning in full force. “Oh, don’t get all sentimental on me, Jean-Luc. There’s still so much fun to be had. But I’ll leave you to it… for now.”

Star Trek needs to be reset Terry Metalas needs to go out.Kurtzman and Secret Hideout needs to go out.Completely new people with completely new vision needs to replace them. We can't have Star Trek of the past anymore...so at minimum we must have new creative direction with new fresh not corrupted artists

Honestly not interested in Legacy after the mediocre Picard. They killed the Captain and vulcan who were the best characters with Seven, after her rubberband arcs in Picard, imo is not a good replacement. Not to mention the Titan had its own history and the "new" Enterprise was dumb.

I think they could do great stories with Seven as captain and jack crusher following in his father's LEGACY.

I enjoyed Picard season 3 for what it was (last few episodes were a bit meh) but I've no interest in following the adventures of the USS Nepo Baby. Rather watch something with characters who have minimal connection to anybody we know.
