TrekMovie.com: Patrick Stewart Reveals New Star Trek Movie Script Featuring Jean-Luc Picard Is In The Works

I hope this is his swan song. Patrick Stewart is amazing, and I love Captain Picard, but he's not Harrison Ford. The franchise will be fine without him. We don't need to play out Too Short a Season in real life

Three seasons of PIC were already a mistake. The only good thing coming from it is the possibility of a Riker cooking/baking show (which I would totally watch).
- In rewatching the original series and TNG thereafter, the consistent factor, regardless of the early special effects, was the scripts. The dialogue was always great. In ST: Picard, the dialogue is trash.
- The sitcom The Rikers as pitched by Sirtis and Frakes would have been better that the three seasons of Picard, frankly.
- 2 seasons were a mistake and by far the worst trek seasons from any show, the third season while being massive fan service was just what I seemingly wanted as I loved every second and was a great ending to the TNG crew
@Infynis Swan Song? So it will be a Musical Film?
Sorry, could not resist
- @Star Trek Um, maybe a SNW movie where Picard meets Pike?

No. Please, no.

The Picard show was already dreadfully bad and has effectively destroyed TNG and Q for me, please let the dead body rest on piece, no more.

Did you watch Season 3 of Picard?
- It's dreadful. Just gathering up the old cast for nostalgia sake. Quite an anticlimactic resolution to the enemy fight too.
Oh man, I'd repressed the memory that Q was in s2 of Picard! I kind of liked the first season but the follow-ups were nostalgia dumpster fires. Literally what Sir PatStew said he didn't want to make going into the show.

I prefer to think that Picard is just still stuck in the Nexus and everything that has happened to him since has been a result of magic Nexus fever dreams.

Movie Picard and PIC Picard acted nothing like TNG Picard to the point where they were seemingly completely different people. Movie Picard wanted to make the Borg pay for what they did and literally beat in dead Borg with his fists and snapped the Borg queen’s spine in two with his bare hands while TNG Picard knew things weren’t that cut and dry and even had an opportunity to potentially genocide the works of them and didn’t because ethics and shit. Movie Picard would have drove Hugh up to their doorstep infected with the fractal virus the first chance he had.

PIC Picard… is literally an android I guess? But still old? They kind of ignored that later. So, literally he isn’t the same Picard as TNG Picard.

The Nexus is my head canon.

I... Don't hate this. He meets Kirk too, which could be captain wish fulfillment. After his nephew is killed in such a stupid way he just exits reality and never returns.

First Contact, like you said, is revenge on the Borg and saving Earth.

Insurrection is then him inventing the perfect woman to save and finding the fountain of youth.

Nemesis he fights an evil, young version of himself, which has gotta be worth a few years of therapy.

Did not expect that.

I thought we had seen it all.
- “Yes, and she's scrabbling around to get them back on again, but even before she can get her knickers on, I've seen everything. Yeah. I've seen it all.”
- But I've seen everything anyway. And I get on my bike and I ride off. On the grass.

I gave up watching Picard at the end of Season 1 after

spoiler

they kill Picard and replace him with an android.

If it's not actually Jean-Luc, I'm not interested. And I'm definitely not interested in returning to Picard's universe with all of those boring ass characters if it means that they'll do another time-travel plotline to save his life. Yawn.

Season 1 and 2 sucked ass, but season 3 is actually pretty great and you can watch it as a stand alone without really needing to watch the previous 2 seasons.
- I strongly disagree. It had promise, but was ultimately very stupid. The entire show uses "Borg" as an excuse to explain away ridiculous concepts that are far-fetched and more akin to magic than technology.
- Season 1 was such absolute dog shit. The orbital defense flowers, "JL" etc... but yeah, S3 feels like Kurtzman got kicked in the sack and someone else made Picard. I recommend watching S3 and forgetting the other two were ever made.
  
  Also in S1 Jean Luc Picard picked a bar fight. The person that had his dick dragged through a mile of broken glass getting killed by a Nossican over and over in a bar fight, went to pick a bar fight. What was that show?
- season three was passable at best. people only say it was good because the first two were so unbelievably dogshit
Picard had a lot of promise, and they almost got it, but overall it was trash IMO. More Star Wars and hand waiving than Trek. It was a beautifully made universe, the SFX were superb, but they seemed to spent all their time and money on that, and none on dialogue or character consistency. Picard is nothing of his former self. He spends three seasons whining and complaining rather than commanding. The writers invent a traumatic backstory for him, depicting his authoritative personality as a character flaw as a result of trauma, rather than a strength of character. I rather disliked what they did to him.
Season 2 was arguably worse.

Will skip this if it gets made. All good things for Picard really came to an end after that episode.

This is First Contact erasure and I won't stand for it.
- @themoken @bababooey
  
  Unless this new movie is frankly outstanding it won't beat First Contact.
  
  I do wish Paramount would concentrate on a Captain Seven series though 🙄🖖

I heard only last night about a script that is being written, but written specifically with the actor, Patrick [Stewart], to play in it. And I’ve been told to expect to receive it within a week or so.

Notably, that week was several weeks ago:

TrekMovie has confirmed with Josh Horowitz that this interview was recorded in early November as Stewart was out promoting his new memoir, Making It So.

He'll die before it happens. Don't think people realise quite how old the guy is. I love him to bits but it's like David Attenborough, just let the man rest, he's given us enough.

He's not on contract. He wants to do Star Trek.
- And I hope he continues.
Shhhh, the reaper has hopefully forgotten about these two and Morgan freeman.
He’s 83. Definitely old but I wouldn’t write him off anytime soon.
- Huh, I actually thought he was older than that. That's reassuring.

I'm OK with this, people shit on Star Trek Picard but I still thought it was alright despite the departure from more traditional Trek.

I watched the first season and liked it. The fan service didn't feel so bad (I enjoyed it!). Season twos portrayal by half way through of an old enemy felt too casual to me and I tapped out. Is season 3 worth a whirl of two stopped me?
- Season 3 is literally just fan service. They reused the V'Ger sound/theme for the enemy. They brought back a character from another show in the franchise. They brought back a character who appeared in two whole episodes of TNG. Large parts of the sound design were lifted from the TNG-era series. Seriously, almost as much fan service as Lower Decks.
- The third season isn't as good as 1 but its clear and away better than 2 by a huge margin and has some extremely fantastic emotional payoffs.

TBH, i never seem to like anything thats made after Voyager or Nemesis. And i understand it, the new movies and new series are made for a different (broader) audience, so it needs splendor and lots of shooting, but to me thats not what Star Trek was about.

Ive always hoped they’d make a serie with the USS Prometheus, but alas! I’ll just keep rewatching Voyager and DS9 untill i die, i guess.

Strange New Worlds has been quite good tbh.

Picard has its moments as well. It’s more valuable as a TNG revival than as a whole new ST work but it’s not bad, especially the last season.

Discovery is one of the worst sci-fi ever produced though, so definitely stay away from it.
- @c10l @johannes idk, Picard S3 ends the same way as Prodigy S1, and Prodigy does it better IMO.
  
  Discovery started well and got boring by always doing the "galaxy ending thing only us have detected and can solve (something picard does too, but not as many times in a row at least).
- Glad to see someone else hating on discovery, on the Star Trek subreddit everyone’s obsessed with it and I thought it was hot garbage

If this thread is anything to go by, me and my other half were the only people on the planet that actually enjoyed Picard S1 and 2, and didn't like S3 as much.

In that spirit, if a film is made I look forward to enjoying it even if I'm the only one.

@7of9 @USSBurritoTruck

I'll raise my hand and say that I actually enjoyed all three seasons. I felt like 1 and 2 had a sense of melancholy at times, but that was welcome. Kind of felt right at that time in my life.
3 I really liked for the interpersonal relationships, and that sense of wonder in space.
- Well, 1 and 2 both dealt with deep themes of grief and generational trauma ... I appreciated that they tried to write a story with a deep meaning to it, even if it didn't 100% work it was better than a lot of the recent things I've watched
I liked all 3, 3 being hit or miss but overall enjoyable for me. Season 2 had a lot of fun parts
- The thing I liked with 1 and 2 was that they both tried to tackle big ideas of past trauma, even if it didn't come out well the big thinking was in there while a lot of recent things I've watched has felt skin deep at best

i will always love a new picard movie since i have memories of watching tng with my dad and i loved picard but i still want them to make star trek legacy

You're back baby!

- It's the one and only. You're my hero, Picard.

You know they have to use the bridge a lot more than one single episode. It was always part of the plan.
