It just wasn't necessary. Again, there's my point. RO and Solo didn't need to be made. RO at least gave us emotional investment to give a damn, but again there were decisions in there the general audience couldn't help but scratch their heads over. Solo could have been dropped by the second or third major issue in production--something, by the way, that we're now seeing with the new Picard show before it's even made--but Disney just kept going with it, because how can the Star Wars name possibly fail? Oh, right, a lack of direction or necessity. And then the fatigue set in for people. Half the problem with the Picard series is letting Frakes direct it. Do you remember the Frakes-directed episodes of TNG, DS9, and VOY? 'nuff said. Quite Frake-ly there's only so much blame you can put on one man. I spent a good bit just now trying to dig up links that I saw regarding issues and setbacks, but I'm not finding them despite having seen said links a month or less ago. Additionally the series is supposed to run parallel to the Discovery and Abrams Trek universes, rather than the beloved universe we all knew and loved (until Voy killed every decent concept it could get its hands on). So between the dev hell I remember seeing, and can't find anywhere, and the less than optimal setting, the Picard series feels doomed if not for Stewart/Picard being so loved. Oh, wait, he's supposed to be darker in this new show. hmm And we already saw "dark Picard". He was called "Shinzon" and he sucked a giant bag of donkey dicks. --- The SBA has closed for business, we thank you for your patronage Assassins. ~there's always free cheese in a mousetrap. <cite>WhiskeyDisk posted [p:921122101] in PotdMon: N...
