New Star Trek Series Pitch Approaches Warp Speed
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
Well, that could be really fun actually. I just hope it doesn't turn into the Star Trek version of Stargate Universe. That last thing I want to see is an awesome starship full of melodramatic misfits trying to get into each others pants. (Kinda like most of the Star Trek books I've read come to think of it...)
Meh. I can go for that. So long as they don't try to make it "cool" Star Trek has never been "cool" and people should stop trying to make it "cool." It's for geeks, they are not "cool", deal with it.
I was initially going to respond with this video rather than the "slap" one, but I couldn't find it at the time.Andy Chalk said:
For shaaaaaaame.
And in case anyone isn't aware of why Blake's 7 was so awesome:
It was the characters, and their conflicts that made it great. Having Avon's darkness only slightly tempered by Blake's optimistic leadership was the perfect backdrop for the series.

Im skeptical about a new ST series, many of them sucked IMHO
STTOS: THE GOLD STANDARD
STTNG: EPIC WIN
DS9: Not too bad
Voyager: No thanks
Enterprise: ho hum

Agreed. Well Abram's film was very entertaining, but I hated what he did to the franchise.LiquidGrape said:
Anyway, I'm skeptical. I mean I love Star Trek, but I think that perhaps we may have finally gone past the limit of what Star Trek can give us. Personally I think we went past that point after Voyager ended, but that's just me. Actually, arguably that point was reached when Rodemberry died, but that's neither here nor there; the point is we've past it. However I'll reserve judgment till more details are released before I come to any definite conclusions.
EDIT: Whatever they do, they must not let Rick Berman get his hands on it.
Ok I'm loving the idea of more trek - It's pretty much a full on nerdgasm BUT
"highly-energized with a much younger cast"
...I immediately think
...and I think I'll be right :'(

I was never so big on Star Trek that I could be called a Trekkie but I still love the series as I grew up with my dad watching Next Generation. While I never got into DS9, I enjoyed Voyager as much as I enjoyed Next Generation. I had no interest in Enterprise because they changed some cannon details, and you can lose me VERY fast when you do that, no matter what series you belong to.
I'd definitely watch a new series like this as it sounds like the guy is a good fan and planning on lots of interesting things. I have to admit part of what attracted me to Lost was that it was somewhat "planned out," and since it sounds like this is too, I'm pretty excited. I hope it comes out, and is soon available online or on Netflix since I don't have TV!

It would be nice to see some of the cast of Voyager appear in this one. I loved that series. Some of the episodes were on par with the best that TOS and TNG had to offer. I mean, Voyager's "Blink of an Eye" and TNG's "The Inner Light" and TOS's "A Taste of Armageddon" have to be the best Star Trek episodes ever made (personal opinion, don't rush). And while TOS had 3 great characters and TNG had one (Picard forever!), Voyager had the best all-round cast of all and with one hell of a captain. Plus, no f-king Ferengi (except in one or two episodes). If they hadn't wasted time in the last season, to rush it up in 2 episodes in the end, it would've been the best series overall.
While I'm looking forward to see the Federation again, I'll always miss the "one ship, tight crew" that Voyager and Enterprise offered. And I hope they don't turn it into a JJ Abrams series. I like battles from time to time, but the strength of Star Trek lies in its exploration of theoretical physics. I think that humanity owes a great deal to the Star Trek universe as it has provided a blueprint of a positive future. We should always have a Star Trek series on TV, just as we always have someone out there in space.

Little bit of column A, little bit of column B.Andy Chalk said:
I'll give it a try, but if it's as disappointing as "Enterprise" "Nemesis" OR the new "Star Trek"... I'll break out the TNG DVDs and lick my wounds...
Then follow it up with firefly for good measure.
This better be green-lighted by CBS because I am sick of all the "on-earth sci-fis" as of lately.
Come on people I need some outer space sci-fi over here come on we need it BADLY.

DO WANT!
I like Star Trek. I've waiting for a new series for quite some time. Re-watching Deep Space 9 every now and then because it's the best Star Trek in my opinion. So fuck haters.
