I love you, Patrick Stewart, and Captain Picard will ALWAYS hold a special and magical place in my heart, and I will always show you your due respect.
…but YOU are the one who put a dune buggy chase into Nemesis. Please stop thinking about the future direction of the franchise.
Pretty sad they didn’t figure out awesome future dune buggy with a really stylish name. It was only mentioned 3 times
How about not making them dumpster fires like Star Trek: Picard, then
I want more lower Decks, but like… After a few years have passed. The main cast are still on the same ship (even if not the cerritos, but seeing them at slightly higher ranks with Ransom in command would be interesting) but I also think the show ended in a good place.
I REALLY want to see some TV-MA style section 31 show. Especially if we aren’t sure if the main cast are actually the bad guys or not. Anti-hero style, but like… Actual anti-hero, not “good guy but they swear” type.
Also I’m sure they could make a medical drama, although I doubt I’d watch it… Heck, set it on the USS Pasteur with an older Dr crusher in charge.
Ooh a more action-oriented show following a crew during the dominion war would be awesome.
And set up a 24/7 livestream following the crew of the Lower Decks in a Borg ship. I’m sure it would be riveting
Fuck it. Let’s take this in a strange direction.
Give me Star Trek HGN. It’s a live show featuring a guy in full Ferengi make up hawking actual items you can buy, each either an actual piece of Trek merchandise or some oddity or curio that can be passed off as some interstellar artifact.

I dunno, I feel like the charm of Lower Decks was that it was about low rank schmucks.
What if it was primarily from the perspective of the new Lower Deckers? (The prior characters, now senior officers, being more rarely appearing.)
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.
A Voyager-like scenario would work. A new part of space, not explored, new diseases, actually limited resources (unlike Voyager).
Saw a great idea in another thread. Daystrom Institute: in the field test division.
The initial plan for Picard was not to have most of the Next Generation cast appear. You even told them that during a gathering.
Fun Fact. In the ready room interview Brent Spiner retells, in Stewart’s voice, what they were told over dinner:
yes there’s a new show and no you’re not in it
Spiner does a great Stewart impersonation, I love it every time
I say fuck it let’s give him another 10 spinoffs we have nothing to lose anymore
Patrick Stewart…
Oh no! I hope he’s alive
Reflects on star trek
Oh phew
I love spinoffs in general. They don’t always do well and aren’t always made well, but exploring an established universe through the telling of other stories should be incouraged.
