Star Trek: Strange New Worlds quickly gained notoriety as one of the best new shows sci-fi fans have seen, so it's a wonder to think it wasn't originally part of the original revival effort to bring the Trek franchise back. As the story goes, it was actually current co-showrunner Akiva Goldsman who pitched the idea for Strange New Worlds in the Season 1 writers' room for Discovery. Goldsman later helped bring the show to life when fans responded positively to Anson Mount's Pike and some of his cohorts when they popped up in Season 2. What Goldsman did was magical, so I had to ask, could he do the exact same thing for a Picard follow-up?
