No Ship, No Adventure, Just Poker. Honestly, I'd watch that. (thelemmy.club)

Basically just five seasons of the cast getting together, having drinks, and playing poker more or less in character. Call it "Galaxy [Class] Series of Poker". TV gold.

It's not too difficult. Each player gets six cards, except for the player on the dealer's right, who gets seven.

    Unless the player on the right is Worf who gets none because he's just going to fold anyway.

    Ah. I'll admit, my TOS lore is lacking. Was trying to deflect with a smile and nod, but you caught me lol.

    They should have done this a long time ago.

    Right? I feel like it would be a high quality, low budget, low stress series. No CGI, minimal costume and make up, the writers may just have to give them some in-character stuff to work into their otherwise ad-libbed banter. The cast's age wouldn't be a concern since they'd be comfortably seated the whole time.

    The framing device could be that after PIC S3, they decide to meet up for a weekly game of poker and we're just spectators to it.

    It could work 😆

    It could be a little story anthology series, with each player taking terms sharing an embellished story to distract from the strength of their hands.

    I dunno about just poker, but I’d watch a show that took place entirely on the ship (no planets of the week or big budget special effects). I loved the bottle show episodes of TNG. They were so damn cozy!
