    A limited run series about Jake running his grandfather’s restaurant after achieving a small amount of literary fame.

    Can we get the Andor folks to make this? Turns out the extended story of a supporting character can be amazing when done well.

      Or beter yet having a new story with new characters. So the universe doesn’t feel liked it can fit in a small living room in a NYC apartment.

        Maybe you’re right.

        I had a response written but at one moment I wondered “is this what the writers of Picard told themselves too?”

        Maybe TrekCorp isn’t at a place right now where they can tell a good standalone story without a clown car procession of cameos and references.

          Yeah Terry Matalas has gone on record that he was more concerned about how to get from one reference and cameo and how much of a struggle it was to craft a story around that.
