Is Marina Sirtis right?

During a recent panel aboard the Star Trek Cruise ship (via Screen Rant), Marina Sirtis stated Star Trek: Legacy is “never going to happen.”

Marina Sirtis: First of all, Legacy is never gonna happen.

Jonathan Frakes: Come on, Marina!

Marina Sirtis: You know, you hate hearing the truth. There is not a single studio in America that is gonna make a series where most of the leading actors are over 70 years old. I’m sorry, but that’s just the truth. It’s just Hollywood.

    I’d watch it, and I’m sure they could do great things with it…but as presented, Terry Matalas’ vision left me pretty cold. Captain Seven was definitely the most compelling part of it all (and Raffi, I do like Raffi), but it mostly just seemed to be, “here’s a new Enterprise in that era that you miss!”

    And that’s fine…but it doesn’t really point to a compelling story on its own. But take the basic premise, give it to another showrunner, and jettison Jack Crusher into the nearest black hole, and you have my attention.

    thanks for the recommendation, BTW

    Hey, you’re welcome! I stalled out on the Riker one, which I guess is the third one. I should pick it up again one of these days.

      Oh, “The Dark Veil”, yeah. It wasn’t bad but was definitely the weakest of the 5. I could swear the entire plotline was recycled if not from Trek itself then from some adjacent sci-fi.*

      The only one I haven’t read is the Rios one since it’s the only one I can’t buy DRM-free. “Second Self” (the Raffi one) and “Firewall” (the Seven one) were both excellent.

      *Or maybe the reclusive aliens on the ark ship in Dark Veil were just similar enough to the reclusive Caeliar and their planet ship in ST: Destiny that I had read shortly before.
