Really too bad. I was hopeful, but it sounds like it's not happening.

I dunno, I'm not that bothered by this. I liked season 3 of Picard but it is still overrated. It was better than the trash that was seasons 1 and 2, but it was ultimately a nostalgia fest and also a silly plot, and not really very star trek. The big step up was a return to characterisation - I get that people like that, but when you look at the plot it's just silly.

The world created is too dark, statfleet too militaristic, and they shat on the utopian outlook of the TNG. I think Seven would make an interesting captain, but they killed off the interesting characters (like captain shaw and the vulcan character who was pointlessly executed) and kept poor characters like Picard son.

I like strange new worlds, it's great. I can see Legacy could be good in the right hands, but I'm not sold on the premise shoe horned in to the end of Picard or the characters left. Ed Speelers certainly isn't up to it frankly. And Picard could have been good show but overall was poor - it's more than the concept; you need a good story and Picards weren't good stories.

From Paramount point of view, do they need another SNW at the moment? Probably not.

SNW is pretty damn dark...
