I'd be all over this, but not if it's another Picard. I need REALLY good writing.

Imagine if they went really hard into a serious adult drama. Like HBOs John Adams... or if that's too far, something more like Sopranos.

I want local stakes (no saving the galaxy) political/social themes that would be normal on earth but happen to occur in space (in a Trekt way)

i'd genuinely love this. that was my exact issue with discovery. not everything needs to be about saving the galaxy from a mysterious force.

Exactly! Ugh I can't tell you how much this resonated with me!!!

Yesss, it's when the stakes are so huge, it feels like a marvel movie and my eyes glaze over

Did Season 1 have a mysterious force? I haven’t watched it in a long while (and probably won’t for a while longer) but it was mostly about the Mirror universe, the spore drive and the Klingon war.

Miles and Keiko move to earth where O’Brian teaches engineering courses and consults on the new Oddysey class starship(the enterprise-F).

Their son is an upcoming academy student also studying engineering and trying to out live the shadow of his father. Keiko is pushing Kirayoshi maybe a bit to fast and isn’t happy with Miles’s relax approach. Molly is already an accomplished biologist at this point studying new types of mycelium species thought extinct.

Molly and Keiko tend to push the main narrative and drama along as the main focus is on Kirayoshi coming of age and sorting out his complicated relationship with his father who at first seems like he doesn’t want anything to do with his son but it’s later revealed in confidence to Keiko that Miles feels like Starfleet is too much for his son and just wants him to be safe whereas Keiko wants Kirayoshi to reach his full potential and self actualize despite Miles’s concerns about safety.

Oh and I don’t know how or what to do with him but I know I want Garret Wang as the head of the Academy and I want him as a captain.

And then Mirror Emperor Wesley crusher attacks with his red V'ger cloud and The O'briens must go find The Dekker'ger to help.

but I know I want Garret Wang as the head of the Academy and I want him as a captain.

If you are suggesting that Harry Kim be promoted, this is a deal breaker

If you are suggesting Garret Wang in a new role as Captain.....it's likely too Kim adjacent..

The 3rd season of Picard was FIRE. 🔥🔥🔥

It sure was. I’m glad they did it

It was fan service. The actual plot was worse than S1, but they hoped you wouldn't notice because "here's that thing you liked about the old shows!"

no it wasnt.

We have our opinions, and I respectfully disagree with yours.

It was really bad writing, zero logic and they just played it insanely save with regurgitating old stories. Sorry, but if that was fire, it was the kind of wildfire, that destroys ( in this case legacies)

u/JayJ1976 1d ago

Well, it's sci-fi. Logic is always taken with a grain of salt. Also, I totally agree with the post above. There was a lot of fan service, and I loved every minute of it. I followed these characters since the '80s. I was very happy to see what they've been up to. The only part that I struggled to accept was Picard's consciousness being transferred into a positronic body.

Yeah I mean with a good writer and director I can really see this being a good idea
