Deep space nine1/3/2024 And I wouldn’t be surprised episodes when they first appear in gets the bigger spikes for views or rewatches. But I think the people making these shows sees the positive wave of fanfare every time a legacy character is announced. They have all gotten pretty big fanfare on the show and any issues about them are not the characters just the writing of them. HOWEVER I will say people have responded to all the legacy characters well, from the Rikers to Q and of course Seven of Nine. It hasn’t been a great return at all frankly. Honestly, I would be WAY WAY happier with a DS9 and Voyager HD/4K restoration. That’s why I prefer they just stick to what they’ve been better at, making their own shows from scratch. They really need the original producers and writers for shows like this. I’m hoping S3 of Picard makes me feel differently, but they just haven’t handled this well. If there is ever a Voyager reunion show, which I think is more likely, some of the DS9 characters could be part of that story.īut I can’t help but feel that “Picard” has shown me that revisiting these shows and characters isn’t as rewarding as I hoped, with a few exceptions here and there. We’ve lost some key actors, and Brooks has gone into seclusion and is very unlikely to return to the roll outside of perhaps a voice cameo (which alone would be remarkable). As for bringing back DS9 a’la Picard, I think that is unlikely, if not impossible to do so in a satisfying way. It seems likely that Kurtzman is mostly referring to the Lower Decks DS9 episode which will certainly see some voice cameos, not to mention some cameos on Picard S3 (excluding O’Brien sadly). And for what it’s worth, the show is getting some big attention from IDW Publishing, who announced a new ongoing Star Trek comic book series that will focus on Sisko returning from the Bajoran wormhole after the DS9 series finale. So it doesn’t sound like Deep Space Nine will be a big factor in either of the two Star Trek shows that Kurtzman said were currently in development. So if we ever do go down that road, other than what we’re already doing on Lower Decks, I think we would all want to make sure that it was coming from that place of being able to tell a new story while honoring the old one. What I’ll tell you is that, for us, we don’t want to just launch into something without going, “Oh, we have now a new idea.” A new reason to do it, a way to turn it in a new direction so that it’s not just repeating the thing you’ve seen before, but it’s also honoring the thing that you love. Kurtzman went on to explain what it would take to revisit DS9 and/or those characters: Michael Dorn’s Worf will be on the show, of course, and yes, he was a main character for a good part of DS9, but that’s not likely to be what Matalas meant, as Worf is there as part of Picard’s TNG sendoff season. A good guess might be a visit with one or more characters from the series during the third season of Picard, which has been hinted at by showrunner Terry Matalas. In addition to saying there have been discussions about DS9, Kurtzman’s comment about not “revealing anything” indicates there is at least something coming related to DS9 beyond what was shown for Lower Decks. So conversations definitely have been had. And obviously, Sisko is a critical, critical figure for everybody. I think you’re always having conversations about the history of Star Trek. I’m trying to answer your question without revealing anything. Deep Space Nine in Lower Decks S3 trailerĭuring the Q&A at Comic-Con, a fan asked executive producer Alex Kurtzman if there have been any discussions about “looking again at and bringing us up to date on those characters.” Kurtzman was careful in his answer but did reveal there has been some talk about the show:
