Star Trek: The Next Generation Reboot With Patrick Stewart Reportedly in Development Rumors of the Picard-centric reboot come amid Alex Kurtzman extending his CBS contract for a planned expansion of the Star Trek TV universe. According to a THR article, there are unconfirmed rumors that CBS TV Studios is developing a Star Trek reboot starring Patrick Stewart in which he would reprise his The Next Generation role as Captain Jean-Luc Picard. According to THR's sources, Alex Kurtzman and Akiva Goldsman are attached to the potential reboot. Not only is this an unconfirmed project, but THR's sources also say that the deal is far from complete and might not happen. Still, this would be huge news for Star Trek fandom—however you might feel about a Picard-centric reboot. The rumors of the Picard reboot come amidst Kurtzman renewing his overall deal with CBS Television Studios, extending his contract by five years. This will keep him in partnership with the studio through 2023, for a reported $5 million per year. Kurtzman was recently made sole showrunner of Star Trek: Discovery following the dismissal of previous co-showrunners Aaron Harberts and Gretchen Berg who left amidst reports of bullying behavior in the writers room. Goldsman, who served as an executive producer on Season 1 of Discovery, also left the show, reportedly due to a clash with the writing staff in terms of management style and personality, so it's interesting that he is still attached to the potential Picard-centric reboot. In addition to his work on Star Trek: Discovery, Kurtzman's extended deal with CBS Television Studios will include an expansion of the Star Trek franchise on the small screen, including the development of new series, miniseries, and other content, including animation. While this generally seems like good news for the Star Trek universe, it may also be disappointing, depending on what kind of Star Trek fan you are. While the move represents a reinvestment in the Star Trek TV universe, Kurtzman is not known for critical success. Previously, he has co-written the scripts for Transformers, Star Trek, Star Trek Into Darkness, and The Amazing Spider-Man 2. More recently, he directed and co-wrote The Mummy. Not exactly the kind of nuanced science fiction writing Star Trek has, at its best, historically represented. More news on the expanded Star Trek TV universe as we hear it.

It's almost as if the ****ing morons at CBS should have listened to Dorn and greenlighted his Captain Worf show.
But nooooooo that would have left out Alex Kurtzmann. Can't have that! He has to touch every square inch of new Star Trek property or else it won't be any good!!! |

Well, it was coined 'Captain Worf' by the fans, but as far as I know the concept would have been just a Worf-centric show. Basically Worf navigating high council politics with federation sensibilities like he's always done while also going on adventures, solving crimes, drinking prune juice, etc.

Star Trek has a vast universe. They should start shadowing Disney+ and how they turned around Star Wars. Tell us stories we don’t know about this universe. Preferably some old school Klingon series would be a good start.

I enjoyed the last episode a lot. Fairly predictable solution to their "no win scenario" but they pulled it off well.

"You're goddamned right I did" It was predictable, but it worked. I enjoyed it as well, and Shaw is growing on me a little bit. Picard using Shaw's own words and calling him a dipshit from Chicago was great, lol.
Spoiler!

WELL, only one episode in but
just the way they did the opening and closing credits had me losing my shit In the 25th Century... also love the design of "Neo Constitution Class" and the slow pan over Crusher's quarters with all the callbacks. Last edited by Hammock Parties; 03-11-2023 at 12:44 PM.. |

Yeah, I knew Clay would love this and he hasn't even gotten to the good parts yet. There's so much fan service.
I do think this past episode was probably the best episode they've done yet of this show (in the 3 seasons). |

It's amazing how much better this is than season two.
They dumped all the social justice crap and whoever wrote this is FAR more creative. Last season was just a hamfisted rip off of Star Trek IV. THIS? Someone made it fresh but added a dash of Star Trek II and III because they know those are my favorite flavors. WORF'S ****ING INTRO Dunno what got into the cast but they're absolutely knocking it out of the park, too. I am obliged to stay up for another episode. |
