Maybe you’re right.
I had a response written but at one moment I wondered “is this what the writers of Picard told themselves too?”
Maybe TrekCorp isn’t at a place right now where they can tell a good standalone story without a clown car procession of cameos and references.

A limited run series about Jake running his grandfather’s restaurant after achieving a small amount of literary fame.
Can we get the Andor folks to make this? Turns out the extended story of a supporting character can be amazing when done well.

On top of being an excellent documentary the credits are a masterclass in advertising; I absolutely bought it for all the stuff teased in credits.

if they ever do an oral history of the development of that series, it will be a juicy read.
I agree. I’ve never been interested in meeting any of the cast of any of the shows, buuut if I got the chance to meet any of them I would absolutely choose disco so I can ask how it went down.
- Comment on 'Star Trek: Prodigy' Season 3 Passed On By Netflix; Seasons 1-2 To Leave Soon 3 weeks ago:
It’s just the same story, Netflix picked it up then declined to renew.
Their process ignores gems like Scavenger’s Reign and workhorses like Prodigy in favor of, I dunno, bean counting?

… the removal of the hair, having done hairless Klingons with J.J.’s films. So I’d personally already gone through the Internet backlash, and so when Bryan said, ‘Yeah, we’re going to do bald Klingons, like it’s gonna be tricky, man.’ And so everyone was salting the broth.
Sometimes you just gotta keep making the same mistake until you learn. At least this guy is humble and practical about it.

He’ll ya! One of Quark’s finest scenes:
They have weapons. You have weapons. Everyone has weapons. But right now, no one has a clear advantage. So the price of peace is at an all-time low. This is the perfect time to sit down and hammer out an agreement. Don’t you get it? Attacking the Cardassians now will only escalate the conflict and make peace more expensive in the long run. Now, I ask you, is that logical?
- Comment on Do you have any “headcanons” (so to speak) about the Star Trek TNG characters? 1 month ago:
TNG character headcanon?
Worf is a narcissist. Reason: Kurn and Alexander were kept until no longer useful to him then discarded. #Justice4Kurn
Universe headcanon?
The Vulcans are augments and the romulans are the baseline diaspora. Reason: every time TPol was unphased by the anomaly because of her [superior] Vulcan physiology.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Was Denied 2-Hour Finale Movie, Says Sonequa Martin-Green 1 month ago:
the best series finales are always double-episodes
I think you’re right:
TNG: 2-parter, check
DS9: 2-parter, check
VOY: 2-parter, check
ENT: 1-shot, check
DISCO: 1-shot, check

Dal discovered Adreek’s skeleton, and we learn that Aurelian skulls have spurs of bone projecting from them, presumably covered by the feathers.
Me: Aurelians have…feathers?
Some searching later…

- Comment on Is there a way to watch DS9 whole skipping the prophet & pah wraith plotline 2 months ago:
If you do that you miss much of the best Trek villains:
Kai Wynn and Gul Dukat
They are part of reason folks are advising you to hang in there.
But ultimately just enjoy it and skip any episode that is boring you; if you make it halfway you’ll probably want to watch the few relevant ones you skipped.
p.s. Buckle up 🖖
- Comment on Which shows are worth watching? 2 months ago:
Enterprise all the way.
It starts strong with lots human/vulcan conflict and then eases into 2 seasons of TNG-style adventures.
Season 3 is an imperfect masterpiece that ultimately delivers some incredible episodes. This is where Enterprise comes into its own.
Season 4 is more like a collection of 3-parters that sees the crew touch on all the lore they missed in the first 3 seasons. Satisfying but a different vibe.
Highlights include:
- Captain Archer feuding with Duras
- Dr Phlox improving every episode he appears
- Lt Reed vs Major Hayes
- Grapplers!
Low points include:
- Decontamination
- Archer/Tpol tension
- Cogenitor episode
- The finale

It’s a matter of opinion of course, but to me Picard 1/2 suffers the same malady as S31: “all we need is a big star to sell our franchise”
Season 3 felt to me like the owners of the franchise desperately trying to salvage the final season from Patrick Stewart’s meddling.
As for Kirk’s stories you’re right he’s done if not already overdone, at least as a main character. Who knows how he may work as a supporting character 🤷♀️
