A Star Trek: Voyager film would just end up being a waste of time
As a hardcore Star Trek fan who grew up watching Voyager and lived through its ups and downs, I have mixed feelings about the recent trend of revisiting old franchises in Hollywood. Don’t get me wrong, the nostalgia factor is strong, and it has worked to some degree for shows like Picard and Lower Decks. But as someone who longs for new and innovative storytelling, I can’t help but feel a sense of unease.
Currently, in Hollywood, there’s a strong trend toward nostalgia. This sentiment is widespread and influencing various franchises, including Star Trek. In an effort to win back older, disgruntled fans, Star Trek has joined the bandwagon. The approach has had some success, as evidenced by the reception of shows like Star Trek: Picard and Lower Decks. Fans are now clamoring for more content in this vein.
For some reason.
As a devoted Star Trek: Voyager fan, I’ve often pondered the possibility of a movie featuring the show’s beloved crew, including Robert Picardo as The Doctor. Yet, when ScreenRant posed this question to Picardo himself, his response was not encouraging. He didn’t believe such a project was likely to materialize.
“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.”
Rachel Carrington, whom we have the pleasure of knowing, has previously explored this concept. She believes in limitless possibilities, a viewpoint I share, but personally hope isn’t actualized.
As a long-time fan of Star Trek, I’ve grown attached to the characters and stories that have shaped this iconic universe. I can understand the appeal of bringing back beloved characters from the past into new shows. From my own perspective, I believe it’s a clever move, as exemplified by Star Trek: Prodigy and Strange New Worlds.
Strange New Worlds explores a fresh approach by introducing new characters set before the original shows, connecting the dots between past plots to deepen our emotional connection with earlier episodes. I’m fully on board if Star Trek decides to bring over beloved characters from one series and feature them in an entirely new production.
Instead of returning to finished storylines and themes similar to Voyager, let’s move forward. Voyager was an excellent show in its time, but its run has ended. There’s no need for a reunion movie to advance the plot or address any remaining concerns. We dealt with those issues through Picard. While it attracted a large audience, creatively it lacked depth and failed to deliver effectively.
No more of that, please.
