Picard showrunner talks about his career, starting with star trek fan fiction, and how he views trek.

Nickelodeon series only after 2021 due to complex animation.

I just read an j twrview with Kurtzman, saying he loves animation and wanted to start doing alot more, but now that he's seen how long they take, he's not so sure anymore. He said he wanted to make alot more of the short treks in the future as cgi and animated, but they ones they have done for this run have taken much longer and been much more expensive then filming live action.

Star Trek should have a restraining order against Kurtzman, I fucking hate that guy lol

I hope the new Picard series is great (I'm intrigued), or they wind up doing something with Pike, Spock and #1. Discovery is Last Jedi levels of awful. At least they're off to the future now where Burnham can't ruin canon/lore further.

It's the only way. Ignoring canon would be way worse.

I do agree that they need to focus on the characters more again.

Ignoring shit canon is perfectly acceptable.

Nope. Canon is canon is canon.

Nope.
Writing is paramount, and shouldn't be hobbled out of the gate with garbage story lines. At least Stewart is too old to be Space Action Man again.

Writing and not contradicting canon are paramount.

Let me ask you this:
How badly did you want to see Gungans and little kids (sorry, younglings) in the new SW films?

I didn't, but canon is canon is canon.

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

I didn't, but canon is canon is canon.

What does that mean?
It reads like "Writers are stuck with the narrative and creative cul de sac that came before, regardless of anything else."

Yes.

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

Yes.

Well that's just silly.
Why the hard core marriage to canon, to dissatisfying story and character arcs?

I believe a fictional timeline should always remain as consistent and unchanged as our real timeline. Illogical inconsistency annoys me more than anything else.

Following that rigidly could have filled SW with Jar Jars until the end of time.
As it is with this ST, Data shouldn't be dead. He was the co lead. Only Picard got more screen time and dialogue.
Canon will hold the story back in the same way as "Remember this? Here it is again!"

STD is the worst monstrosity ever created in the Star Trek universe. I can't believe it is renewed for a third season. I am doing my best to pretend it doesn't even exist.

Fucking epic:

I love Discovery.

 

[Philo-Publius]

I love Discovery.

It's complete garbage writing and acting to me with an extraordinarily high budget.

 

[sverre054]

Many theories that this guy in the Picard trailer is The Traveler. Others think it is his Friend Louis, who tried to convince him to Leave Star Fleet for the new Atlantis project. Or is it a new character? What do you guys think?
