I think you just described Next Generation.

Sure, they didn't have any old characters in the main cast, but characters and concepts from TOS showed up all the time, especially in the early seasons. And characters like Data and Riker were meant to be direct analogs to Spock and Kirk.

As for Discovery's time jump...I think that was just to give Strange New Worlds some room to play around without stepping on another show's toes. The producers saw how popular those episodes with the Enterprise were and decided that the fans would like to literally jump ship, but they'd already invested so much in Discovery as the flagship show of the franchise that they couldn't drop it right away.

> I say he currently hates Ben because of possibly one leap's consequences end up killing someone close to Martinez.

Or he did something that caused the nuclear winter.

I think we have settled into the right amount of leap & present day plots - it was way too present day in the first few episodes.

I am totally thinking that if it gets a second season, we'll have Scott Bakula appear.

It has really great parts and a great cast also it is a cool era, but overall the thing is just a mess.

Not a remake, it's a continuation

honestly, you might just want to skip to episode 6 or 7 - those were the first two really decent episodes of the series. 7 was a good Halloween episode

It felt the last episode, which was so full of great nostalgia, also seemed to be testing such an idea. Jack sitting in the captains chair, talking to Seven, and the scenes with the LaForge daughters, felt like a testing of chemistry with them in mind.

Have a show with a mix of new and old characters. Occassionally link stuff back to the past, but don't be afraid to create new stories in that timeline either. Not overly focused on prequels, but not afraid of new stories that continue on in the main time line (unlike Discovery's insistence of jumping a few hundred years into the future, as if it's terrified of having old heads pop up).

Let me catch up with what happened the DS9 and Voyager crews, please!

Berta from Two and a Half Men was only supposed to be in one episode. Ended up being a regular in all 12 seasons.

His wife died, yes (that was the reason).

Being the lead off after Abbott elementary will help with that.

Stories without end are the worst stories ever told.

It was interesting how they would consistently upend the premise of the series with everyone except the protagonist experiencing lasting consequences for their actions.

I think it's the actor - since the dialogue this week and last should've been much less wooden

Because it’s the only new thing on Netflix. It doesn’t matter they’ll still cancel it.

Idk why this is so funny to me. Probably because I can’t believe I never thought of this.

Happy valley is a BBC show

Ahh I wasn’t aware of his heart troubles :(

I loved his chat show on Channel 4, and all the work he did with the dogs and other various animals.

I agree about Addison, there was one specific scene in the asylum episode (don't want to spoil it, if you saw the episode you will know) that was very hard to watch.

I think he had a few heart attacks over the last decade that he talked about publicly. He was very health conscious as a result. Sad to hear he was so young still.

So frustrating when the show slogs along and gets cancelled before reaching the overall arc of the story. I was looking forward to Cait being named Boudica, they teased it from the first damn episode. Season 4 was setting up to be pretty awesome with her being educated in Rome and going back and leading the revolt and kicking the Romans out of Britain.

There's a lady who knows...

Only 67, no real health issues that were public, was still doing radio shows a few months ago etc.

RIP Legend. I used to love his Battersea dog and cat home tv show.

My algorithm is horrible right now. I feel like it doesn’t know me at all.
