And maybe, just maybe, this opens the universe for another, standalone, 25-century TV series. And more returning actors and actresses, like Robert Picardo, Jeri Ryan, Michael Dorn, Jonathan Frakes, Nana Visitor, Aron Eisenberg, and a whole host of others. (Just not Avery Brooks or Brent Spiner. I don't see them coming back for any amount of money, sadly enough.) Discovery doesn't give us that potential. Even the "hey, now we're in the 32nd century!" doesn't excite me as much as it does worry me. It could go well, but it could do a lot of $hitting on things that came before. This, though. It's gonna take a LOT of wrong to crash and burn. True, true. But I wasn't counting Vulcan because that's all nuTrek timeline crap.

Avery Brooks... I'm not sure we even want him to come back, unless his natural state has always been batsh** insane IRL. Though how cool would it be to have Sisko returning from the Wormhole in a new show... Quote:
Didn't we see it as all being blasted and decimated by Control (or did that future not happen?)? If so, I could see Discovery being like this beacon of hope from a bygone era to ravaged worlds in need of help. But mostly it'll probably be Michael Burnham looking for and finding her mom, a lot of people screaming at each other, crying, explosions and the fat nerdy one cracking jokes.

And if we don't get John de Lancie back, Star Trek: Picard will NOT have lived up to its full potential. And as for Avery Brooks, crazy man that he is... you could always explain his mental state as from having been with the Prophets. But I just don't see Brooks having any interest in reprising his role. Quote:
Hey man, I LIKE Sylvia Tilly! C'mon, she dropped the fvck bomb in Star Trek. I'll remain deathly loyal to her for that.

Or they could do something weird. Some throwaway lines about, "B4 didn't last but we were able to recover Data's memories." And then have Data be a CGI EMH that looks like Data did on TNG, but intentionally less realistic looking. Voiced by Spiner. Or have it be that Picard's personal ship (or whatever it ends up being) gets Data's memories uploaded into them and becomes the Computer, basically. Voiced by Spiner. Quote:

But yeah, I'd love to see Spiner. Almost as much as Q. Eh, personal taste. I personally use the F word a whole lot more than I probably should, so that moment really rang true for me, "edgy" or not. (Which is also certainly was. Just like L'Rell's Klingon nipples.)

I wonder what that "25% different" thing will mean for STP. If Worf shows up, do they have to make his Klingon head bumps 25% different? If they do a flashback to TNG, do they have to Abrams-ize the Enterprise D?

Hell, when you count it all up, Worf has had the most appearances of ANY Star Trek Character. 7 seasons of TNG, 4 seasons of DS9, 4 movies. I know some Trekkies are sick of him, but I, for one, welcome our potential Star Trek: Worf series that Michael Dorn has always wanted to make.

Hell, I'd take it. Better something like that than, say, "Section 31: Edgy People in the 23rd Century" or whatever is coming.

Set it in the 25th century. Bring back Julian Bashir and Luther Sloan. Maybe Ezri Dax, too. BOOM, baby. Hell of a lot more interesting.

Brent Spiner returning to guest appear in Star Trek: Picard:
https://wegotthiscovered.com/tv/bren...r-trek-picard/ Hell yeah. They may consider something like that if STP really finds an audience (i.e., learn that people want to see Star Trek stuff that isn't attached at the hip to original Enterprise, Kirk and/or Spock).

Assassination of the entire Romulan Senate, Shinzon's coup, Reman destabilization, and then, of course, the whole planet getting shattered. Might as well follow up on Data/B4 while we're at it, eh? Maybe? Hopefully?

Of course. And arguably the friendship between Picard and Data is roughly akin to Kirk's with Spock. If this is to be some kind of exploration of "hope"/humanity in our older years, of course Data should be there.

But the two most defining relationships in TNG were Picard and Data, and Picard and Q. (I'd argue Picard and Worf for a third.)

It'd be neat to see Picard preside over the commissioning of the Enterprise-G in this show... and then THAT show being a spin-off, with a new crew and all. Picard could even appear on it, at times, or vice versa. With 200% less Kurtzman, please.

Geordi got paired with Data, or the Romulans did some mean $hit to him, or he creeped on Leah Brahms. That was about it. Yes please. Enterprise-F, Enterprise-G, SOMETHING. And make that 400% less Kurtzman.
