    TrekMovie […] asked if she is ready to lead the much-discussed Star Trek: Legacy spin-off

    Much-discussed but still to be officially verified.

    IMO they need to jettison at least Jack Crusher and his Jedi lineage for that show to be even theoretically tolerable. Terry Matalas really showed with Picard s3 that he has no flair for Trek.

      I don’t think the actor was bad. Having him be a doctor on Legacy (he is a doctor, right?) would be a good use of the actor and the character’s past without having it be the focus of the show.

      Hey, I’m not sure if you know how un accepting your snarky jab is. It’s very un trek like.

      I’m also not sure you appreciate how important representation is. It is very important that people see and read themselves in stories. It could save someone’s life. That importance cannot be understated or taken for granted.

      This was likely tailored to the demographic that Picard serves. And while the writing wasn’t elegant, it’s still something. Hopefully it leads to more, as this character development is now canon.

      Society is slowly crawling out of hetero normative times, where it is thankfully starting to be more common than ever to see diverse identity mainstream.

      Millennials still have a streak of heteronormative thinking and cynicism, but hopefully they are one of the last generations to experience the closet.

    Can this please be marked as some sort of spoiler? I haven’t watched Picard Season 3 yet and this was a massive spoiler bait title…
