I can’t even tell if this is real any more.
We already had Star Trek Last of the Summer Wine with Picard, and a live action Lower Decks so anything is possible.
Never cared about Star Trek, but my god this is going to suck. Like ROP levels of suck if not more.
This is the future Section 31 wants.
Section 90210
Edit: sorry, joke was so obvious I encountered it further down…
Star Trek: High School Polycule…? Is that where we’re going?
I’m so confused
“High school polycule” would mean a never ending source of drama
What the fuck am I seeing?
My boy! Look at what they’ve done to you!
At this point I’m just accepting that we’ll have to sit through 3 bad shows to get 1 good one. I guess I’m okay with that as long as they keep cranking them out.
I’m really starting to believe.
All I can imagine is “dumb as hell”
Good summary of my expectations, but let’s give it a fair chance first.
Even if it’s the best Trek ever made, the reaction to the poster will stand.
Please don’t make it a generic US high school drama. There’s already enough US-defaultism in Star Trek.
Also, the image is glossy, it feels like AI generated
There’s no way those actors posed for that image at the same time.
Hopefully more of a community colleges vibe
They are real glowy but the Klingon has a near mirror sheen going.
I thought it was an AI head swap too…
So shiny that it’s uncanny
The light source is 3 different sunsets and everyone is too damn skinny
Horny Trek
Approves:
Smiling Klingons? He looks like he doesn’t even care about honor!
He doesn’t, he works for Paramount.
and a science cadet at that.
Maybe we will finally see some of the supposed non-warrior Kjngons
like Alexander?
Can’t wait to see all y’alls bingo cards leading up to this show?
- Character with dark secret past hinted at in Ep 1 and revealed/confirmed in ep 2 or 5.(Maybe a youthful thug, killed someone / accidental death, or related to a legendary character)
- Pregnancy scare
- classroom or messhall inspirational speech by the underdog (teachable moment)
- cameos, verbatim quotes or callouts to major characters or moments in the first 15 mins
- bad teacher is good / exceedingly nice teacher is season end villain
“If I’m pregnant there’s no way I’ll make Nova, Principal Bigsby help me”
Paramount: We need to ensure this new show attracts as many people as possible while maintaining a strong identity of Star Trek. How can we hit those points with the Ad campaign?
Marketing: Well our focus groups are saying that a lot of Star Trek fans are still yearning for something closer to the aesthetic of 1990’s Star Trek
Paramount: I zoned out there for a bit but I did hear aesthetic of 1990’s. Make that the core of advertising!
It’s not even the aesthetic we want; it’s the writing style.
It’s not even that, it’s the feeling we had when it was the 90s/00s and the good Star Treks were new…ish
It’s not even that, it’s Avery Brooke’s powerful voice and Patrick Stewart’s piercing eyes as they confront one another for the first time, the briefing room filling with tension as Sisko’s barely contained rage breaks against Picard’s steely reserve, knowing both are just surface defences covering the hidden hurt they reach feel, both victims of the same implacable foe, both denying themselves the comfort of…
We’re all nostalgic for the same things here, right? Yes? No?
It’s really hard to beat Picard. He’s already seen everything
