**** you and eat shit Gifhorse. The early DS9 / Voyager uniforms are slightly better than the Discovery uniforms. And that's not saying much.

Also it doesn't jive with the consistency of costuming as per show 'canon.'

"What? Where am I? Why am I here?

QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ!!!!!!'

Like Star Wars, it's time has come and gone. Let it die...

It could be good. It could tell new stories. If you had the right people with the right intentions doing the job.

Star Wars is ****ed from the beginning. They've already told all the stories they can possibly tell, or at least flesh things out in a way that can't be predicted.

You got a light side. You got a dark side. You got a rebellion. You've got an empire. Both of them clash.

Whatever betrayals or conversions or shit beyond that is just storytelling that could be predicted by using a storyboard matrix. There are only so many possibilities.

That's why Star Wars needs to die. Trek can and should keep going, but they keep ****ing it up.

Discovery is legit if you don't dwell too much on some of the more hamfisted meta-commentary they interject into the show.

A few days ago a fan "insider" video popped up on my YouTube claiming that Discovery may actually be dead despite the earlier renewal, because Netflix withdrew funding for it and CBS basically isn't willing to finance both it and Picard. Also, Picard won't have much of a budget, so don't expect to see any other familiar characters from NG since they can't afford to bring them onboard. I have no idea if it's legit or not, and couldn't find the video again. It's out there somewhere if you care enough to look for it.

As I've stated elsewhere, IMO the best part of Discovery was Pike, Spock and the Enterprise, and now that they're gone I really don't give a crap if it continues or not.

Still wish the CBS pricks would pull their heads out of their asses and give us a Pike-based Star Trek on regular TV, or sell the rights to somebody who's not going to keep ****ing it up, but neither is going to happen.

Win me a lottery jackpot and I'll buy the rights and run shit my way. You'll love it.

I may be remembering incorrectly, but I believe Star Trek as a franchise was worth $4 billion 10 years ago...

Doesn't cost $4Bn to produce a pilot.

Contemplated starting a new thread since we know the title, but this one is still front page...

I changed it.

Never mind. I tried unsuccessfully to change it. If a mod would please change the thread title to "Star Trek Picard" I'd appreciate it.

I have a hard time believing that the new show will have a budget so low that they can't afford Gates McFadden and the guy who played Howling Mad Murdock on the A Team.

Shit, Marina Sirtis did a one-off on the Orville last season and didn't even get special guest star billing. Not sure anybody even realized it was her. Can't cost that much.

Captain... I sense bullshit...

They're still supposedly all besties. Seems like they could probably get them as guest stars on the cheap as a favor to him. Also, new appearances would probably increase conventions sales for their stuff.
