    Considering what happened to the original Stargazer, it's probably a good idea not to let Picard anywhere near the new one. Commented Mar 3, 2023 at 16:09

    I'd speculate new-ish management wants to merchandise their own creations. No TV executive gets credit for merely approving the old management's hit show. And put more distance between seasons 1 and 2 - not that it really matters. But ultimately it's surely one more thing to sell right? Commented Mar 3, 2023 at 21:06

    Now that we're several episodes into season 3, I think the Stargazer simply wouldn't have worked for the plot they want to tell. I could lay out the reasons (they need Picard and Riker to be with an unfamiliar crew, Shaw commanding the Stargazer wouldn't make sense, etc.) but I'm not sure that would qualify as a full answer.

  • Perhaps not, but that conclusion does make sense. Commented Mar 21, 2023 at 14:07
