So... Riker must be a fan of John Candy movies, why else would he build a replica of the cabin from The Great Outdoors. From Picard The cabin from The Great Outdoors
Something, something, Kurtzman, something, something, lazy writing, something, something, CBSAllAccess must be destroyed.
That could be good. She's a good actress, if she finally gets some good writing, as she often did outside of trek.
Kate Mulgrew is definitely a good actress. The problem with Voyager wasn't Mulgrew; it was the show runners, shitty scripts, and uninspiring characters (including Janeway). I'd be up for a Janeway series only if they tossed the book on Voyager and pretty much did a complete reset on the Janeway character... which paradoxically means it wouldn't really be a "Janeway" series.
Yes, but they would have half a justification in that they could make her what everyone in universe constantly claimed she was.
FF would be so happy. He'd be hugging us all, and tears of joy would be leaking out, and we'd have to tell him "it's okay, let it all come out, it's authentic and beautiful ".
I wouldn't want a Janeway series, her character just rubs me the wrong way. I don't know why, she just does. But I might be willing to accept a Janeway series if Harry Kim was in it, and only if he was still an Ensign.
Her smoker's voice reminds us of Homer's bitchy sister-in-laws who are based on everyone's bitchy step-grandmother. We must overcome this bias. It's not Kate's fault. Well...the smoking is.
Will she be seeking out new life forms to genocide for coffee? Will the coffee be as bitter as the rest of nu-trek?
Janeway just wasn't close to being as epic a character as Picard was, don't really see the point of a whole series How about a Sisko series, could be interesting with all the wormhole alien shit
Odo could be explained by saying he fucked off with the 'Great Link' and never came back, he has a whole planet of goo chics to... uhhh.... ooze with I guess, instead of Kira who would only have three holes to entertain him with. But then again he's a shape shifter so he could come back looking different. Nog, on the other hand would need to recast, and finding someone who has a permanent wedgie like Aron Eisenberg could be difficult.
I think that was kind of the gimmick of Voyager, was Kirk and Picard's crews were epic hero crews, but Voyager's crew was a generic average crew thrown into crazy circumstances. The misfit Maquis crew was supposed to balance it out, but that fell away, and they kinda put it all on B'Lanna's character. Until Seven showed up, then she became Janeway's new troubled teenage daughter. But yeah, them not being superheroes was the point. They were all Tom Hanks from Castaway.
Depends which book. Jeri Taylor had a pretty solid backstory for Janeway and crew that was superb, as seen in the Mosaic and Pathways novels, but the studio overwrote a lot of it. (Seven too, but I never read that one).
The Tribbles Short Trek (At least the road at the end) suggests they have no problem making them non-canon. I'd be all in for a Short Trek where Janeway is guest of honour on the maiden trip of the Voyager-A, which promptly falls into an anomoly and gets spat out in a far corner of the Delta Quadrant.
Still, much as Janeway could be rebooted into a better character, and I'd be there for it if they made it, the more obvious spinoff to "Picard", is Seven and the Fenris Rangers.
Rumor has it that Picard lost 55% of its viewership between the first episode of Season 1 and the last episode of Season 1. I haven’t seen it. I don’t know if it’s good or bad or mediocre, but that’s a bad drop in viewership. https://wegotthiscovered.com/tv/star-trek-picard-reportedly-lost-audience-season-1/ https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/star-trek-picard-ratings.html
Unless I misunderstood something, those sources say 45%, not 55%, and if the pilot was at 215% of all previous records, that would still set the finale at well above that record (118%, if anyone's counting).
Yes, 45%. Typo. I agree that the viewership for the pilot was so good that viewership at the end of the series is probably good. I just saw the news article and thought it was worth discussing.
Isn't that kind of trend typical anyway? Lot of people watch the first episode of anything. Some stop watching.
Eeeeeveryone on Earth watched the DS9 premiere. Then, huuuuge dropoff. The fanboys in the paper magazines (internet wasn't up to full strength) were declaring it dead trying will it to happen. Every year. They didn't knock it off 'til about the start of the Dominion arc. Now, the version of history where everyone always loved DS9? Total revisionism. Total rewrite. Same thing then as now. Seen it all before.
So I picked up a copy of the Star Trek Picard: Countdown comic by IDW. It tells the story of the Romulan evacuation and how the various (new) characters in the television series met. I'm about halfway through it, and I have to say that so far, it's actually more interesting than the TV series.
