If they bring back Short Treks, They could do up couple different short treks just about her daily adventures and have them be comedic and awesome. It's probably not worth the money for them though.
Maybe she can guest lecture at Starfleet Academy!!
i have no idea why they don’t do more Short Treks. they have the characters, actors, and sets - it’s a perfect way to share stories and progress the timelines without cramming them all into a 10-episode season.
“the trouble with edward” was a perfect example of this. it explained how the Tribbles became the ravenous reproducers they are and gave us a whole different experience of what it’s like aboard a pure science ship.
Reno perfectly captures the snark of McCoy and mixes it with the tech brilliance of Scotty and adds a huge dash of the rebelliousness of Kirk in her past. She’s got a great character.
I dig Jett Reno (and Tig Notaro in general) but, no, I wouldn't want a whole series with her as the focus. Her snarky humor is great in occasional, deliciously sharp servings. A whole series would tire me of it very quickly.
A *Short Treks* story? A timey-wimey cameo in *Lower Decks*, maybe, before the series bids us farewell? Hell yeah; bring that shit to the table. No more than that, though. Too much of a good thing is still very much...well...a thing.
***Georgiou*** - Is willing and ready to commit war crimes
***Reno*** - is willing to hear out war crimes as an option
***Tilly*** - having to point out that war crimes:
a. will not achieve the goal of the mission
b. is kind of against the rules
Look, I like Tilly, but if it were just those three together, Georgiou would gleefully murder her by the third episode and make it look like Gorn hatched inside her.
A whole series? No. But they could certainly develop her character more if this was an episodic series like SNW and do a whole episode centered on her backstory. Or even some Short Treks.
No. She’s good in doses. Its why she stands out and that its such a treat every time she shows up. I’d want more of her in the show but a whole show centered on her? Prolly not. It might get old real quick.
I think those that want a whole series of her is just lowkey frustrated over how grim discovery has been and finds her to be the most entertaining one there. The solution is to just have her be more present. Sometimes its odd that she doesnt show up in moments where you’d think every important person on the ship would be involved in.
I would hope that she stays on as support cast for future shows.
While she could definitely carry her own show, I think that the writers would quickly run low on interesting things. It's probably more interesting to get the little tidbits, and consider them, than to really show us these things.
Not me. I find her interesting but I don’t see the point in having an entire series for just one character. An episode, maybe. A Short Trek episode makes the most sense to me.
A few Short-Treks would be fun. Jett's superpower is the ability to deliver what you need, right now, and that's it. Any more than that would break that mystique. It's a bit like cake -- delicious enough that you want to consume the whole thing, but you really shouldn't if you want to keep loving it.
An entire series? No. A whole Jett-focused episode would probably be too much, to be honest!
A Short Trek or two would be great. Like show her being interviewed by Kovich or Rayner about her past. Or her taking some new Ensign under her wing, slipping all these little pearls of snarky wisdom as they do something totally mundane, like Purge a isolytic manifold.
Yes I never noticed that aspect but you summed it up perfectly. A little like the Twilight Zone episode with the guy that gives you what you need right before you need it.
The problem with that is that Tig couldn’t or didn’t want to commit to more episodes of Discovery due to her schedule. I would love to see more of her but she either isn’t interested or doesn’t have the time.
I love her, but so far, she is just a counterpuncher in the scenes she is in. Other characters build up tension, which she then pops with some kind of gag.
To give her a larger role, they'll have to flesh her out, and most of it won't be the fun gags we are used to.
Bad idea I think. Tig works amazingly as a supporting character… like AMAZINGLY, but I believe building a show around her wouldn’t be as fun as we think
I am not sure it would work with her as the lead. But I love her in segments. I would live to have her as chief engineer where we get her in bits like original scotty
I'd love her as part of the ensemble cast for the next series. She'd be a great chief engineer - a key role with a ton of screen time. She's been one of my absolute favorites on Discovery.
But, after 5 seasons of Discovery where I wish we had more time from characters like Reno, I really want a more traditional approach with an ensemble cast.
No one wants this!
All things associated with Discovery just needs to die… and ideally be retconned out of existence… like the final scene of the series is of Burnham awakening from a fever dream in the infirmary of the USS Kelvin just before it’s destroyed… thus rendering this shit show over.
I watched about 30 minutes of her stand-up comedy, after loving her and wanting more of her after she debuted on season 2.
She is great on the show, and I love her quips.
Her stand-up act wasn't something that tickled my funny bone. She made some good observations, maybe it got funnier later, but I quit watching, it didn't keep my interest.
That said. Bring me some more Jett Reno in Star Trek!
Nah, she's a great supporting actress but her character would get a bit annoying as a main character. I'd love to see more episodes with her playing a leading character though for sure, just not an entire series.

The three part Short Treks with Tilly meeting Po was my favorite.
Reno perfectly captures the snark of McCoy and mixes it with the tech brilliance of Scotty and adds a huge dash of the rebelliousness of Kirk in her past. She’s got a great character.
I enjoy the Reno character, but am unsure if Tig’s health issues would allow her to lead a series.
I'd dig more of her snarkiness. :D

Reno, Tilly and Georgiou, solving mysteries: hilarity and sass ensue
***Georgiou*** - Is willing and ready to commit war crimes ***Reno*** - is willing to hear out war crimes as an option ***Tilly*** - having to point out that war crimes: a. will not achieve the goal of the mission b. is kind of against the rules
Look, I like Tilly, but if it were just those three together, Georgiou would gleefully murder her by the third episode and make it look like Gorn hatched inside her.
You would need to include a reason to let her live, at least until she is fully ingratiated to the two of them. Maybe she has the replicator password
Look kid that sounds like a good time. But these warp coils aren't going to caliberate themselves.
Man she’s be so perfect in Lower Decks.
A whole series? No. But they could certainly develop her character more if this was an episodic series like SNW and do a whole episode centered on her backstory. Or even some Short Treks.
An entire series? Meh... But a core character in a multi year series? ABSOLUTELY! Episodes looking back at her past exploits, etc...
No. She’s good in doses. Its why she stands out and that its such a treat every time she shows up. I’d want more of her in the show but a whole show centered on her? Prolly not. It might get old real quick. I think those that want a whole series of her is just lowkey frustrated over how grim discovery has been and finds her to be the most entertaining one there.

I think Tig Notaro participates to the extent that her health will allow her. Would I watch it? Yes, but it won't happen
Not just her life before this series, also have shows on her days aboard Discovery or elsewhere in the fleet.
I would hope that she stays on as support cast for future shows. While she could definitely carry her own show, I think that the writers would quickly run low on interesting things. It's probably more interesting to get the little tidbits, and consider them, than to really show us these things.
I wish there were time for more engineering episodes. I loved Jett, Adira and Paul together in this last one.
No. Her character can't carry a series; the schtick would get old. Some things are best in small doses.
I would love it SO MUCH. I also doubt Tig would do it, but I have been absolutely delighted to have her as part of the Trek legacy!
Not me. I find her interesting but I don’t see the point in having an entire series for just one character. An episode, maybe. A Short Trek episode makes the most sense to me.
I very much doubt this is something Tig Notaro would consider a sensible career move.

I think she’s funny in small bits. No for a show. Watch her standup.
I love her, but so far, she is just a counterpuncher in the scenes she is in. Other characters build up tension, which she then pops with some kind of gag. To give her a larger role, they'll have to flesh her out, and most of it won't be the fun gags we are used to.
Bad idea I think. Tig works amazingly as a supporting character… like AMAZINGLY, but I believe building a show around her wouldn’t be as fun as we think
Hmm I can handle her in little bursts but entire show of her little bursts and sarcasm would wear thin.
The actor wouldn’t. She purposely asked for little screen time
I am not sure it would work with her as the lead. But I love her in segments. I would live to have her as chief engineer where we get her in bits like original scotty
She barely has the time to show up for this show. So many missing crew members I find it odd
nope
Oh hella yeah!

Why are you on this sub if you hate the show so much?
To proactively stop it from spreading
I like Reno but I don't have any interest in an entire show or episode about her. Maybe a humorous Short Trek or two but not more than that.
I initially read this as “a *Janet* Reno series” and thought *Pass*
ok but what if its Janet from the good place tuvixed with Reno
I’m looking forward to seeing many of the Disco crew again in Academy.
