Why haven’t they made a Picard movie like they did with the JJ Abram’s Star Trek Movies and Kirk? I would love to see a younger Picard going through the academy and his years of being in command of The Stargazer and eventually The Enterprise.
What's on your mind?

I just watched the teaser for "Unification". Are the films made by the Roddenberry Archive considered canon?
Unless these folks pull a Peter Jackson, it doesn't look good.

Hello everyone,
So this prequel movie appears to be in the works. Though I think it's still too early to tell if it will actually happen.
But what do people think of this?
They want to make a rebooted origin story for Starfleet based primarily on Earth. This article makes it sound like they don't want to stick to canon so there's really no telling what this movie will look like.
Personally I don't think this is a good idea. They toyed with the idea of making the first season of Star Trek: Enterprise based on Earth while the NX-01 was being built and then launching the ship in season two but they decided against that because they realized that's not what most Star Trek fans wanted to see. Even DS9 realized they needed more runabouts and the Defiant to get off the station.
This idea just doesn't sound like Star Trek to me. Though, they say in the article this movie really wouldn't be for Star Trek fans. They say they want to attract a younger audience and new fans so that sounds like this project wouldn't really be for established Star Trek fans.
The only way I see a movie like this working is if they make it like "The Right Stuff" and have it analogous to the early days of Nasa where they're building and testing flying new ships. But that still doesn't scream Star Trek to me. And they had an episode of Star Trek Enterprise like that already.
I'd love a movie set in the 25th century after the events of Star Trek Picard and would even be fine if it was an all new ship and crew. They could still do whatever they wanted there.
So personally, I don't have high hopes for this project, if it happens.
But what does everyone else think?

Do I need to warn you that I'm going to talk about sex in this post?
I was just thinking about DS9 3x19: Through the Looking Glass. Do you think Sisko ever told Jadzia about that time he boinked her mirror-universe counterpart? Cuz that's awkward.
Also, what about that time in TNG 4x23: The Host, when Beverly's lover (Odan) was temporarily inhabiting Riker's body, and Troi was all like "If you can't control your libido until Odan gets a new host, you should definitely bump uglies with Riker. That's not any sort of unethical breach of trust or anything. You go girl!" That was the first introduction of the Trill species, and they definitely changed a lot for DS9. In this TNG episode, it really seemed like Odan's consciousness suppressed Riker's completely - not a "blending" that is described in DS9, so there's some inconsistencies there. Either way, this one was super-awkward, too.
I'm sure there are other examples. (Janeway and Paris in Threshold? 😅)
Another great episode of LD doing what it does best--exploring how life not at the front lines can work for the Trek universe.
Got navigating Klingon bureaucracy one side and on the other some sizeable world building for Migleemo's species, which we finally have a name for! (Klowahka, ha! You can't tell me that wasn't a deliberate play on "cloaca" on the part of the writers)
Hello!
Maybe it was already answered somewhere, but I couldn't find it. So... is Star Trek: Lower Decks considered canon? If so, TAS has to be canon too. I'm finally watching LD and I've seen some TAS references scattered here and there.
