The bad news: the show doesn't return until 2222. The good news: you don't want to watch it anyway, because it will be Qrap.

"Q" is the reason I still haven't watched all the eps of ST:NG.
 
LOL! I liked Q. Sure, there were some bad eps with him in it, but at least he introduced the Federation to the Borg.

He also popped up in various spinoffs like Voyager and DS9.
 
I had figured that since they don't have the tech to make Picard young and redo his life in any big way, that the two of them would sit around the Chateau, drink wine, and argue about the past. Seeing the trailer above, that may have been preferable.

You can't be serious! Q was the heart of NG! The sine qua non! The ne plus ultra!
 
Q was just the latest in a long line of overly theatrical, cartoonish Hollywood villains and quasi-villains that have plagued shows and movies that could otherwise have been good - or at least better. He was, IMO, the Doctor Smith to NG's Lost In Space.
 
The Pilot for Lost In Space is worth watching if you haven't seen it. No Dr. Smith, no terrible writing or cheap costumes. The show really had promise. Then CBS (?) treated it like they were sabotaging another network's flagship show. I'd like to see an edit of the first season of ST:NG without Q.
 
First season without Q, like the Tasha episode "Code of Honor"

Yeah, that was some fantastic stuff! :lol:

<Insert a "NOT" somewhere above>
 
Words can not express how little I want to see this. I doubt I have the will to skip it entirely, but I'll probably watch it in dribs and drabs, as I do STD. Or the Expanse, of which I'm still barely into the start of the last season. The former Fringe people who have taken control of the Trek universe like to fill their episodes with what they consider to be the most-loved characters and memes of Star Trek, resulting in the Enterprise (and nearly every other ship) getting blown up over and over, snippets of old plots being re-woven into new story lines, and, now...Q. This is the Terran Empire all over again. It took me literally months to watch that...
 
New trailer for Picard show:
https://trekmovie.com/2022/01/21/new-star-trek-picard-season-2-trailer-reveals-first-look-at-some-familiar-faces/

https://trekmovie.com/2022/01/18/star-trek-discovery-renewed-for-season-5-premiere-dates-announced-for-picard-and-strange-new-worlds/ mentions March 3 for season 2.
 
At last: a "Golden Girls" for Star Trek fans. ;) It also reminds me of the last time I watched a minute or two of "Grey's Anatomy." I only really watched the first season of that, and it was downright Frightening to see the original cast as they are now.
 
I stopped watching Trek much when all the story lines went over to some flavor of fighting a war. That wasn't Roddenberry's vision for how the future might look.

I still have fond memories of TNG, that is still the best series that I'm familiar with.

I'm guessing you're referring to https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Dominion_War in DS9. There was also https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Xindi_incident in Enterprise.

Indeed, Trek has taken a number of different directions ever since Gene died. I do agree what many say about TNG about everyone and the Federation mostly being too perfect then.

Disco and Picard have definitely taken Trek in a different direction. I can't speak to LD or Prodigy as I don't care about those, esp. Prodigy.
 
I think I've seen it on er, the streaming service that has Picard - the name escapes me. Looks like they've abandoned the idea for a "Space Ghost Coast to Coast" remake with Picard and Q, and are doing something more ambitious. Good. ;)
 
Well, it's now Paramount+ formerly aka CBS All Access. Gotta love the "creativity" out there. Got a streaming service? End it with +. There was even https://www.salesforce.com/news/press-releases/2021/08/10/announcing-salesforce-plus-new-streaming-service/ (Salesforce+). :roll:

Then, there was this recently announced name change: https://www.cnet.com/news/viacomcbs-announces-name-change-to-paramount/.
