New star trek series...with Picard?! -

[Darndirty]

I can't believe I had not heard about this but came across this article

Apparently CBS is creating a new trek series set 20 years after Nemesis and starring Patrick Stewart resumin his role as jean-luc Picard. He and data have always been my favorite trek characters, has anyone heard about this? Thoughts?

 

[Maggots on a Train]

It will be a miracle if the writers don't fuck it up.

I'd rather see that Captain Worf series that's been in development hell for like a decade.

I'd rather see that Captain Worf series that's been in development hell for like a decade.

I'd rather see a true continuation of the series

I'd rather see a true continuation of the series

Which... Captain Worf would necessarily be... I'm pretty much of the mind that Picard's story is done. This just strikes me as desperation because STD is so shit... But I don't think they actually learned any lesson...

 

[UnKillShredDur]

I hope this is the opening theme.

 

[Y2K Baby]

His name should be Fuckhard.

CBS is making it and they're putting it exclusively on their streaming service like STD, which is a shame

 

[UnKillShredDur]

This is canon to Pokemon Manga.

Shut up, @Doc Cassidy

 

[Doc Cassidy]

Shut up, @Doc Cassidy

What?

 

[Y2K Baby]

What?

That's right, I fucking said it.

That's right, I fucking said it.

Times like these call for the services of a Conflict Resolution Officer

A child who is anything but mild.

The acronym of that show being STD is too perfect to be a coincidence.

My initial thoughts about this current era of Trek

I'm Vreenak. The included response are the social justards, trying to destroy it all.

Polygon, the most trustworthy of news outlets.

Bets on the fate of Janeway start now. I'm putting $1000 on "still highly regarded despite being one of the worst and most dangerous officers in Starfleet"

With how things have been going in the more recent past concerning ST and SW I expect something like this:

Picard, surrounded by faces both familiar and new, is sitting in his chair on the new bridge. His seat is a bit offset to the side to make room for an additional seat, slightly higher in position, overseeing a vast collection of control panels. On said seat sits a slightly chubby woman with cyan-colored hair and her Star-Fleet badge is painted in the LGBT Rainbow flag.

Cyan-hair, being busy explaining advanced trance-warp-field theory to Geordi LaForge, is suddenly distracted by a display on her personal ship-status monitors. She shouts a warning for everyone to brace themselves and raises the shields just before the ship is being shaken by an attack, making Worf spill his Soy Blood Wine Latté.
A ship de-cloaks and starts pelting the Enterprise with phaser-fire.

Picard: "Helm! Evade pattern A-47, Worf, target their phaser banks and fire immediately!"
Cyan-Hair: "Negative! Don't fire!"
Worf: "We need to kill these people, my HONOR and MASCULINITY demands it!"
Cyan-Hair: "Don't be such a toxic male! There's an energy pattern in their shield modulation, coupled with some energy source inside their deflector phalanx! If we fire, they will send an energy-wave through our own phasers directly into our power grid!"
Geordi: " . . . She's right Captain, damn that pattern is almost impossible to spot, even when you know it's there!"
Cyan-Hair: "Geordi, wait for my signal, then you have to turbo-encabulate our hyperflux-plasma-generator and aim directly for their warp core!"

The Ship is again shaken by another salvoe of phaser hits

Data: "The calculations for such a maneuver are highly complex, I am currently trying to solve the necessary equatio-"
Cyan-Hair: "Nevermind, I already punched in the numbers, Computer: transfer helm to my seat. Authorization SN-Zero-Double-U FL-Four-K Dash E!"

Cut to outside view of the ship perfectly evading hostile fire

Cyan-Hair: "Geordi NOW!"

Geordi's console only has a big button labeled "I'm with her" that Geordi manages to hit on his second attempt

A giant energy bolt hits the hostile ship, it starts to explode, the cheers for Cyan-Hair are interrupted by three Romulans beaming onto the bridge. They are almost entirely clad in black garments that vaguely look like Waffen-SS uniforms, on their heads they wear red caps labeled "daehp ch-Rihan dynt hlun*"

Romulan 1: "I am Tr'Uhmp of Saj-Nai** of the Alt-Romulan Reich, prepare to be ethnically cleansed, degenerative scum!
Worf and Data square off with the leader's bodyguard, but get beaten instantly.

Cyan-Hair: "Oh you silly males, always trying to go head first winning with brute forece alone."

She then swings off her chair and starts flic-flacing through the room, slapping handcuffs on all the Romulans who can barely react in time.
As they get dragged to the holding cells, Cyan-Hair yells "Looks like we finally impeached you!"

Picard: "Thank you, Cyan-hair, without you, we would have been done for!"
Cyan-Hair: "No problem, Captain. If anyone is looking for me, I am having dinner with my wives Guinan and Deanna Troi."
