That was certainly true with movies, and I think with TV too, although that’s not really where I made my bones. You know, in the old days, you kind of knew what you were going for in terms of the audience. I find the metrics of streaming really elusive. Is that the demographic you are aiming for here? And are there enough classic fans left in the world for this to work? The thing about those Easter eggs, though, is that by their nature they appeal to older viewers. And that’s the trick - are we holding faith with both audiences? If we are proportionally close, we’re going to be okay. But, for those who don’t give a flying f- about “Star Trek,” it should still be a fun show and a good show and at times an emotional show. The ship itself is an Easter egg! For those of us who are weirdly obsessive about this stuff, you can freeze frame this show and find things. Almost the whole show is made of Easter eggs! There are boxes and boxes of them. I mean, in the first episode, you bring back Kirk’s brother, Samuel - with the mustache! The series is a basketful of Easter eggs. ‘Star Trek: Picard’ to End With Season 3, ‘Next Generation’ Cast Joins Show (Video) There are very few things in “Star Trek” that I can say are my idea, but this show is my idea. Was that where the idea for this show came from? There was a scene in “Discovery” a season or two ago when the Enterprise shows up towards the end of an episode. “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” creator Akiva Goldsman Smith” and “I Am Legend.” On the eve of “Strange New World’s” May 5 premiere, I opened up a hailing frequency to the show’s creator and engaged in a bit of Vulcan mind-melding of our own. The brains behind it all is Akiva Goldsman, 59, a former “Fringe” scribe who is also a big-shot Hollywood writer who won an Oscar for his “A Beautiful Mind” script and produced such films as “Mr. More than just replicating the classic bridge, though, the show returns to the original series’ old-fashioned narrative format, taking viewers on an episodic adventure through the galaxy, with every hour serving up a whole new world and new civilization. Ethan Peck (grandson of Gregory) puts on pointy ears to star as young Spock, Rebecca Romijn is Number One, Pike’s second in command, Celia Rose Gooding is Uhura as a cadet, and there’s a bunch of new characters, as well, including Melissa Navia as Erica Ortegas, Star Trek’s first Latina pilot.Īnd, of course, there’s the Enterprise herself, given a slick, Apple Store-style makeover that nevertheless still lovingly references many of the 1960s set’s core elements (the boxy Captain’s chair, Spock’s sensor scope). ![]() Only this show orbits around Kirk’s predecessor, Captain Christopher Pike, a recurring character in the canon going way back to Gene Roddenberry’s original 1964 pilot episode, played this time, with a happy pinch of his own spaceman swagger, by “Hell on Wheels” star Anson Mount. It too takes place in the 23rd century, about 10 years before Kirk commanded the Enterprise. Now there’s a new series called “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds,”a spinoff of sorts of “Star Trek: Discovery” - the 2017 show that was the first of a new breed of Treks that lately have been multiplying like Tribbles on Paramount+.
