Star Trek The Next Generation Sequel: 10 Things It Must Have

8. A New Enterprise (And Crew)

Picard without the Enterprise is like Batman without the Batmobile or Worf without the Defiant or James Bond without his Aston Martin. It works, to a certain extent, but it's not a full picture.

A Picard show HAS to have an Enterprise as the focal point, no matter which version of the Enterprise it is. It's an iconic ship and even if it's decided that he shouldn't be on the Enterprise, its presence is definitely required for what it represents to Picard. It is very much a part of his being.

And it's also right to bring in another new crew on the Enterprise - including, ideally, some recognisable faces on the cast - who will form the rest of the show's focus. Because as much as we all love Picard, The Next Generation wasn't solely about him. And equally, nobody wants the new show to cynically use him as the marketing pitch and then push him aside as a more minor character (as is certainly the worry for some).
