Season 2 thread

I figured it was time for the upcoming final season to get its own discussion thread.

Teaser:


Returning Cast:

• Patrick Stewart as Admiral Jean Luc Picard
• Michelle Hurd as Raffi Musiker
• Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine
• Jonathan Frakes as Captain William Riker
• Marina Sirtis as Deanna Troi
• Brent Spiner

"New" Cast:

• LeVar Burton as Commodore Geordi LaForge
• Michael Dorn as Captain Worf
• Gates McFadden as Dr. Beverly Crusher

Alison Pill, Isa Briones, Santiago Cabrera, and Evan Evagora -- all series regulars during the first two seasons -- are not returning for the third season.

I wish they’d found a way to keep the rest of the season 1 cast, even if several of them only had fleeting appearances in S2.

That's sad.

Michael Dorn as Captain Worf

I'll definitely will want to see that! Should be interesting to see how's morale on his ship!

"Uh oh! The captain's carrying his bat'leth with him and he looks pissed! RUN!!!"

Imagine the performance reviews...

If they stick with the plot developments from the "Picard" tie-in novels, Worf took over as captain of the Enterprise-E when Picard accepted a promotion to coordinate the Romulan resettlement.

But that was in 2381. I'm assuming "Picard" S3 will be set around 2401, which would mean Worf took command twenty years ago. The Enterprise-E might not even still be in service; the Sovereign class was designed to counter the very specific threat of the Borg, and now that the Borg threat has been eliminated (and the Dominion War is long over) the Federation probably would want a flagship better tailored to Starfleet's core mission of exploration and scientific advancement.

Although I can’t imagine we won’t be seeing Alison Pill’s Borg Queen again in at least some capacity next season, especially given where they left things at the very end of season two (with the Borg now standing watch over the mysterious anomaly for the Federation, and the Jurati-Queen’s winking farewell to the crew of the Stargazer).

That was just too huge of a “hook” to be her final appearance ever on the show.

You fail to mention that Paramount and Patrick Stewart have made it very clear that Season 3 is the last, and it is supposed to put a final ending to the TNG adventures.

Isn't that what "final season" means?

 

[Sam Favate]

Paramount and Patrick Stewart have made it very clear that Season 3 is the last, and it is supposed to put a final ending to the TNG adventures.

Don’t be so sure. Stewart has said repeatedly that he’d be up for a theatrical movie with the TNG cast, and Kurtzman backed him up.

Stewart has said repeatedly that he’d be up for a theatrical movie with the TNG cast, and Kurtzman backed him up.

That would be pushing it. It's time for that franchise to move out.

 

[Josh Steinberg]

With five different Trek shows plus another Kelvin movie on its way, there’s more than enough variety around. What’s wrong with letting people who might enjoy having another TNG movie have that hope, and simply choosing to abstain from viewing it if it’s not your cup of tea?

I’ll never understand this mentality of “I’m not personally interested in it, therefore no one else should have it.”

 

[Philip Verdieck]

Don’t be so sure. Stewart has said repeatedly that he’d be up for a theatrical movie with the TNG cast, and Kurtzman backed him up.

As a bonus, any future TNG movie will piss off Shatner, because he won't be in it.

As a side note.

So I am driving in to work, hearing a year+ old podcast (~ 3/21/21). They had a clip of Shatner talking about/pitching StoryFile, the "AI" recording of mass interviews designed to form an interactive representation of the deceased.

They then played a clip I hadn't heard, where Shatner was saying he hadn't watched any Star Trek.

I have never watched Star Trek. There are many episodes I don't know, there are some movies I don't know. I directed one of the movies — No. 5 — I had to watch that one. But it's all painful because I don't like the way I look and what I do.

 

[Francois Caron]

I’ll never understand this mentality of “I’m not personally interested in it, therefore no one else should have it.”

Sounds a lot like the fanbase for superhero movies. They become overly obsessive to the point of absurdity. I still can't warp my head around what's going on with Superman, but some people have become completely toxic over the whole affair.

 

[jayembee]

I’ll never understand this mentality of “I’m not personally interested in it, therefore no one else should have it.”

My reaction to seeing ads for movies (or TV shows) that I have absolutely no interest in is typically, "Nice to see that there's another $15 I'll save by not seeing this!"

 

[Sam Favate]

I often feel relieved when there’s a movie or TV show I’m not interested in. It’s less on my plate, so to speak. I keep up with enough series - and it’s hard enough - that it’s fine to let those go that don’t grab me.

From that Riker still, it looks like Frankes lost a bunch of weight when he learned about the direction of S3. Looking your best for your sendoff.
