A Star Trek: Voyager film would just end up being a waste of time

Nostalgia is the order of the day for anyone and everyone in Hollywood currently. This goes across the spectrum and is affecting every franchise known to man at this point. Star Trek is no different and has succumbed to the concept in an attempt to satisfy older, disenfranchised fans. It's worked, to some degree and because of the minor success of shows like Star Trek: Picard, and Lower Decks, fans want to see more.

For some reason.

It's one of the reasons why ScreenRant asked Robert Picardo, who played the Doctor On Star Trek: Voyager, if a film featuring the show's crew would be likely. He didn't think so, saying;

""You know, of course, that would be great. I think it's unlikely considering the cost and the lead time for those projects. It's unlikely but anything's possible in the world of Star Trek. And it was so successful with the Next Gen cast and who knows? Maybe we'll get the shot.""

Our very own Rachel Carrington already tackled the idea as well. She thinks anything is possible, and I agree. I just don't want it to be possible.

Now, I'm not opposed to carrying legacy characters into new shows. The way Star Trek's Prodigy and Strange New Worlds are doing is smart. They're continuing stories and character evaluations that we already saw in Voyager on Prodigy. A fresh new cast, a lot of new adventures but some similar names to help grease the wheels.

Strange New Worlds is doing that but in reverse. Instead, giving us new characters in a prequel, and tying together plot points with the older shows in an attempt to expand the emotional attachment of earlier episodes. If Star Trek wants to use other characters from one show, and put them in a brand new show, I'm all for that.

But we don't need to revisit completed storylines and concepts like Voyager. The show was mint but it's over. It's ok that it's over. We don't need a reunion film to further continue plot or resolve any lingering issues. We did that with Picard. While it was a ratings success, it was creatively bankrupt and poorly executed.

No more of that, please.
