So that’s a can of worms I completely agree with, but I suspect even if it hadn’t been cancelled it still would have avoided.

I think we would have gotten more details, but I don’t think Enterprise was ever ready to declare the Federation starting, and then really go forward.

I give Discovery a lot of props for taking the series in a wild new direction.

I guess technically the Federation doesn’t really reinvent the galaxy overnight, but even such a tentpole moment is a season finale and then some.

We kinda see post Voyager in the TNG films, since we see Admiral Janeway. We also get a 20 year jump in the Picard series. So you could be set in that gap, or after Picard.

I think Discovery/Academy era is the most interesting. You get to tell a “start of the Federation” type story, which we haven’t seen yet. We’ve seen similar with Enterprise giving us the forming of the Federation, so this would be what’s next. Plus you can pull in all the legacy aliens whenever you want.

I really liked the idea of Starfleet Academy. The show we got has problems, but it still mostly works.

I think a medical drama show would have issues because one main issue of medical dramas is “lack of”, be it lack of people, lack of supplies, etc. But in Star Trek world you wouldn’t have a lack of anything. Although if you make it animated with really weird medical problems and/or set it somewhere like a warzone, maybe it could work.

Brilliant! Then we’re done.

That was my immediate thought after reading the headline… Which showrunners? Neither franchise has any upcoming show to run.

But I think Pelia’s call out is enough of a crossover. A wink. I think you could do something similar with The Doctor, call out something like space whales and you’ll be good.

True, but this book is the best thing Microsoft has made.
