I'd love to see an episode with Q. I regret nothing.
That first season was incredibly bad.

I think the US preference for twenty-odd episodes per year is why a lot of stuff fails. Such production requires team writing and can result in very "parson's egg" runs. I much prefer the UK / EU idea of quality and a single creative vision over quantity. Money of course is the root of this evil, thank the lord for the BBC.
Aye PH! We must protect the beeb from those who wish to instil profit motive into every aspect of life. It’s not perfect but still excellent! The drama feature of the iPlayer is a necessity on deep space exploration. New Dr.Who series was utter tripe mind!
Really hope the Picard thing is at least well written.

oth, the six episodes and gone forever thing isn't very satisfying.I think the US preference for twenty-odd episodes per year is why a lot of stuff fails.

I agree with this. America does make a few good shows that are essentially 8 episode runs, Bosch and Stranger Things leap to mind, but by and large the 20+ run series mentality is your advance warning that the writing is going to be insipid, nonsensical and boring.I think the US preference for twenty-odd episodes per year is why a lot of stuff fails.

I think with so many ways to distribute a show these days you have a lot more folks taking chances. The 90s were dominated by a handful of networks. There's some really out there stuff these days. For example, my wife and I gave Dirk Gently the Holistic Detective a shot and while it wasn't for us we are very glad it exists.
Nope.
Whilst I respect your opinion wrt ST:TNG, to me it was little more than regurgitated fan fiction. Few if any new stories, just modernised rehashed of the original series and expanded universe stuff.
So no, not really hyped at all, but I'll watch in case it gets close to ST:
My information came from Nerdrotic.com's YouTube channel and the video in question can be found here.
Hopefully this will answer the questions you raised earlier in the thread.
Not that I know of.

I wish I was English like my hero Tj.
Thank you, Jenner!
Same error, though....
They don't like zeee Germans much, i guess ◉_◉
Now if somebody releases a show called "Reynolds" (or Malcolm or Mal) with the retired captain of my favorite Firefly-class ship, along with his companion Inara and 100 fat children running around on his ranch, well... You can bet on my pretty blue bonnet that I'll be watching that
Though my luck Deadpool will show up and shoot him out of jealousy before the season is half-way through....
I'm looking forward to it but I'm worried too. It looks like he owns a vineyard and is asked to come out of retirement. That is basically it. If that is the extent of the writers imagination for a trailer.... :S
Plus apparently it takes place in the Abramsverse, not the real canon ST.
