Star Trek: Legacy - Will It Ever Happen?
By Ava Barnes
With a former Borg drone as captain, a renegade and agent of Starfleet intelligence as first officer, and an interstellar rogue by their side, there's plenty of potential for interesting stories on "Star Trek: Legacy." And, aboard the newest flagship of the Federation, where classic characters might pop in for regular guest appearances, there's any number of exciting new adventures that can be told. But there's one that has already been prepped to kick off the series, as a post-credits scene from "Star Trek: Picard" teased. In the stinger, the recently-deceased Q (John de Lancie) returns to playfully taunt Jack Crusher. A sequel series would almost certainly pick up right where that scene left off.
Terry Matalas has also mentioned that he has an idea for Todd Stashwick, who played Captain Shaw in "Picard," to return in some capacity. Shaw was killed off in "Picard," so does this mean we may be in for some flashbacks that would explore Seven of Nine and her relationship with her former commander?
With Matalas keen to get back to the spirit of "The Next Generation," the series would (in part, at least) return to the concept of standalone stories rather than one sweeping, season-long epic. That format opens up all kinds of possibilities as Captain Seven and the Enterprise explore strange new worlds and seek out new life and new civilizations every week, encountering new problems, new enemies — and maybe even old friends.
