Chatting with Screenrant, Landau was upfront concerning the collection’s intention to honor the sprawling legacy of Star Trek. “I believe we’ve honored the whole lot that’s come earlier than us, the 60 years of legacy that got here earlier than us in so many alternative methods. One is with the folks we’ve introduced to hitch these wonderful people. We have now Robert Picardo, who’s taking part in The Physician, the identical Physician from Voyager. We have now a number of solid members becoming a member of us from Discovery. And you understand, once you take a look at the wall of heroes in our atrium, our big set, you’ll see us honoring so lots of the individuals who got here earlier than us, who confirmed us what heroism is, and who confirmed us what the values of Starfleet are.”
And it feels like a few of the methods the present intends to honor its historical past is by actually revisiting it. Perhaps?
“There’s additionally mysteries,” Landau continued. “Be careful for Benjamin Sisko! We get to do some actually cool stuff that hasn’t been completed in a very long time, that I believe actually honors the followers who’ve been ready to see what occurs. So we undoubtedly know who we’re and the shoulders that we’re standing on as we speak.”
What that truly means, after all, is anybody’s guess, although Landau’s particular call-out of Sisko does make it appear as if that’s one of many “mysteries” the present may got down to remedy.
It’s unclear what, exactly, the scholars of Starfleet Academy could possibly be concerned with that might require them to analyze a centuries-old non secular miracle—or that might immediate the intervention of the Celestial Temple and even Sisko himself sooner or later. (Brooks appears to have retired from skilled appearing, however hope springs everlasting that this franchise could be the one factor that would feasibly get him again in entrance of a digicam.) It’s Star Trek, in any case, and apparently meaning something’s attainable.
