    As someone who loved Voyager and absolutely loves all of Mulgrew’s portfolio, I’ll be very honest and say that I think Trek needs to move forward from its 90s era.

    What would bring a breath of fresh air to Trek is to do another Next Generation push and start a new series set some 100+ years after Voyager or Prodigy or even Picard. We are so wrapped up in nostalgia that we’re trapped in “some kind of” time warp where we almost refuse to go forward and escape the loop. There’s more exploring to do, and better tech to invent.

    At some point, technology marches forward that the temporal prime directive becomes important. I’d love for Trek to explore that. There’s other quadrants across our galaxy; let’s see what happens when the Federation gets there. Trek stories should be as infinite as the imagination, yet we insist on sequestering ourselves within what we already know.

    Prodigy should be continued, another Lower Decks type show should be optioned, and I’m not against Mulgrew returning in some Picardesque fashion, but Trek honestly needs to break free from the 90s heyday and continue boldly going.

      Make a pseudo-sequel to Voyager about the Federation going back to the Delta Quadrant to follow up on first contacts and such.

      They send a single Oberth-class ship. Hilarity ensues.

      I would like to see the events that made the Klingons join the Federation in the future. Raw emotions vs. compassion. Should be fun.

      I wanna see the Phoenix’s/Zefram’s first flight

      It would be cool to see a bell riot/modern style show about the nuclear winters on earth and struggles right before prewarp. They wouldnt even have to advertise as trek, just a gritty dystopia war show

        Zefram’s first flight

        Isn’t that what First Contact covered? (IMO one of the best Trek movies)

      Voyager is found 200 years after it disappeared and is in a stasis field. Janeway gets put on the flagship to be studied by the nanopartical doctor. That could be fun.

          Her not being the captain would let her character open up more and she would be a fish out of water.

          I hope that they do something interesting with it.
