S31 was repurposed into a movie but it was on development for some time. Legacy was just wishful thinking by Terry Matalas.
IMHO Picard should have ended with an USS Picard instead of a new Enterprise. It was clearly just a hook from Matalas trying to get a new show
the character have so good chemistry together it is curious to think they just each record their stuff separately
maybe I just did not fully understood everything until it was over. I found it confusing that the reason to call him butcher was not the killing of civilians but he killing his own men.
In the end he wants to keep the fact that he didn’t kill his own men because that seems to be the reason for starfleet to really considered him a defector? I honestly see that as a weak argument. particularly several years after he has been successfully working as an ambassador.
I feel that if his lies would have been clear earlier we could have had more intense scenes between them and his character could have been developed a bit better
I disagree a lot. I think the idea was very good and it has good chunks, but overall it was even below average for SNW due to not so good writing. I felt the same about the first episode of the season. I feel it hid to much information just to be able to give a twist in the end, at the expense of the first part of the episode, which I think it dragged too much.
I feel the writers are trying very hard to show SNW can have a very wide range of themes but I dont think they are delivering that well when it comes to war.
I see. They discovered that writing/acting for animated shows is bound to a different guild which is not on strike
I think Saru is the best that came out of Discovery. I think the character will rank high in Trek’s Pantheon for a long time.
