Chatting with Screenrant, Landau was upfront in regards to the sequence’s intention to honor the sprawling legacy of Star Trek. “I believe we’ve honored all the things that’s come earlier than us, the 60 years of legacy that got here earlier than us in so many various methods. One is with the folks we’ve introduced to affix these superb of us. We’ve got Robert Picardo, who’s taking part in The Physician, the identical Physician from Voyager. We’ve got a number of forged members becoming a member of us from Discovery. And you realize, while 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 seems like a number 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 carried out in a very long time, that I believe actually honors the followers who’ve been ready to see what occurs. So we positively know who we’re and the shoulders that we’re standing on right this moment.”
What that really means, in fact, 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 resolve.
It’s unclear what, exactly, the scholars of Starfleet Academy could possibly be concerned with that might require them to research a centuries-old non secular miracle—or that might immediate the intervention of the Celestial Temple and even Sisko himself in some unspecified time in the future. (Brooks appears to have retired from skilled appearing, however hope springs everlasting that this franchise may be the one factor that would feasibly get him again in entrance of a digicam.) It’s Star Trek, in spite of everything, and apparently which means something’s potential.
