Very well could be. It's a quote from a panel they did on the Star Trek Cruise not long ago (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ML_ScYo8wQ) and everything was off the cuff. I'm about 15 minutes into that recording as I reply.
I would definitely enjoy Legacy , but I was a total sucker for the fan service that was PIC S3. After reading the rest of the Picard tie-in novels (thanks for the recommendation, BTW), seeing Captain Seven command the Enterprise would be pretty great.
I'd watch it, and I'm sure they could do great things with it...but as presented, Terry Matalas' vision left me pretty cold. Captain Seven was definitely the most compelling part of it all (and Raffi, I do like Raffi), but it mostly just seemed to be, "here's a new Enterprise in that era that you miss!"
And that's fine...but it doesn't really point to a compelling story on its own. But take the basic premise, give it to another showrunner, and jettison Jack Crusher into the nearest black hole, and you have my attention.
Hey, you're welcome! I stalled out on the Riker one, which I guess is the third one. I should pick it up again one of these days.
Oh, "The Dark Veil", yeah. It wasn't bad but was definitely the weakest of the 5. I could swear the entire plotline was recycled if not from Trek itself then from some adjacent sci-fi.*
The only one I haven't read is the Rios one since it's the only one I can't buy DRM-free. "Second Self" (the Raffi one) and "Firewall" (the Seven one) were both excellent.
The Rios one is a lot of fun if you enjoyed "A Piece of the Action"...
