which is always the philosophical question, if we change the timeline, does the original timeline still exists? even if we know what's gonna happen, that's a different future in this timeline since the conditions are different, so does that future really exist anymore?
That's the premise of the "Parallels" TNG episode.
(I may not be exactly comfortable with the "Many-Worlds Interpretation" of quantum mechanics. There can be disturbing implications.)
I can see that. Was Strange New Worlds that poorly received? For the little I saw, read and heard of Discovery, and after seeing Picard, I think SNW is a lot better than the two of them combined.
I was really really hoping they had silently cancelled this

Season 4 will be Stewart pulling a full Cameron Mitchell and filming all his scenes sitting down in his home office. Or will they make Star Fleet issued walkers canon?
Me too, and also there are rumors that Patrick Stewart won't stop with Picard season 3.
They probably had a schizo moment where the producers/Paramount are ripping hollywood lines high-fiving each other saying holy shit lets ride off this Golden Globes win, full steam ahead maybe we get an academy award too fuck yeah...
Like with any major media company, Paramount is very desperate for money and viewership. Why else would they milk their IPs like Star Trek, SpongeBob, Paranormal Activity, Transformers, etc.? Picard is, no mistake, a shitty show, yet it was successful because consoomers will fall for everything with the intellectual brand name. This is literally the same with the bullshit Halo series. It's godawful, and (like with most other video game-based shows or movies) it's a bastardization of the Halo name (and this is a Microsoft IP that also ruined the franchise during the 2010s onward) yet it was successful enough to move forward with a second season.
They can just give Picard one of these:
wasn't halo S2 greenlit before S1 even aired? or I might confuse it with some other trashheap. either way stuff like that doesn't always follow common sense, paramount is probably riding the star trek train since I don't think they even have anything else
Other than SpongeBob?
Damar was a good man and he died defending what he loved, Cardassia.
That's a good observation and a clever way of showing the differences between the captains. I wonder how they would fuck this plot up in the new shows.
The alien would lecture Kirk and Picard via interpretative dance about their inherent space white privilege.
ALIEN LIVES MATTER
Chuck was pretty positive about it.
Strange New Worlds, and Lower Decks for that matter, have episodic plots and sci-fi set pieces that would fit classic Trek, but is also very melodramatic in the "I'm have a deep dark past and I'm emotionally damaged from it" way as opposed to the Shatner style overacting melodrama of TOS. It also heavily relies crew members throwing emotional shit fits at each other as a source of conflict which wasn't much of a thing in TOS or TNG. In the old shows the idea was in the future people would be able to put their interpersonal conflicts to one side and do their jobs. Those who couldn't were generally portrayed as antagonists. In SNW there is more drama between crew members than a bunch of high school students working at a Denny's.
