*facepalm* WHEN are these idiots gonna let us Trekkies have a say in this stuff.
-
So, we got a new movie starting over the universe to break away from being bogged down by 40+ years of canon, and they want to start a TV show after Voyager that depends on viewers being familiar with said 40+ years of canon??? :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Well, if you think about it...isn't Star Trek streaming on both Netflix and Amazon???? *ducks*

Couldn't agree more. Since there are currently no ST series I'll take anything at this point and reserve judgement till after I've seen it. Personally I think post Voyager would be a good place to start a new series, don't see why you guys don't like the idea to be honest.
-
hmm...never seen you before, and your a mod!
like I said, rather let us trekkies/ers in on this.
still wish Ida won the TNG competiton give-away...
-
Okay, let me clarify. While I would like a new series set post-Voyager, the average viewer, aka. the non-Trekkie, will see "Star Trek" on the telly, think to themselves, "Oh, this must be a tv show related to the JJ Abrams film!" Then they'll tune in, not understand what's going on, turn it off, and boom. Ratings down through a hole.
-
The trekkies will keep it alive :D
-
from what i understand, this concept hasnt even been introduced to CBS or whoever yet...
also, trekkies have no say in any matter - these people sell/forcefeed the shit to us they come up with, whether we like it or not...
as far as the concept itself, i am all for it - i just dont think its gonna happen...
finally -
hmm...never seen you before, and your a mod!
*kicks KCS*
trim is oldschool - a major part back at BCU, he has been on the BC forums even longer than i have been lol
i arrived in early 2003 at BCU but he and neb and many others were there for like year before i was :P
while he may not be as active as he was years ago, i think he was #2 in BCU postcounts (just under Neb, and both of them had 20000+ posts there) so of course when BCC was created, he had a staff spot here, no question... (we all did, those of us who were staff at BCU were given staff spots at BCC when BCC was created)
not to mention, he was also an admin at BCU :P
and BCU's Spam Forum was where i got most of mine 13000ish posts lol
we all go way back, the few of us left from the oldschool days :)
-
OW!
hey, I literally never saw this guy before. don't forget, I haven't been here that long, either *rubs sore ass* yeesh, I'm SORRY allready.

You'll find he posts a bit more often in the General Discussion thread...mostly the Funny/Awesome thread :P
Anyways, I remember the days when CBS/Paramount actually used some of our ideas in Trek *sighs* Alas those days are forever gone :(

indeed, i would love to go back to the days where opium smoking monkeys with typewriters took suggestions from us wee folk, but alas, they send the monekys to rehab and replaced the typrewriters with Ipads and locked them away in a dark room somewhere away from the internet. if TV/Movies were more focused on what the audience wants and not what those jackass producers want, then maybe some (keyword SOME) shows/movies these days wouldnt be cookie cutter crap fests where its the SAME damn story with the SAME damn plots, but different settings and character names. :facepalm:
PRIME EXAMPLE - Avatar = Dances With Wolves, but with 8ft tall smurfs, marines, and CG. :dontcare:
(note, i do not in any way say that Avatar sucked, but it is what it is if you think about it)
how many shows do you see where you go "wait, ive seen this before" hell they even spun off NCIS, wich i never thought would happen (F*CKING CRIS ODONNEL, are you KIDDING me??!?!?!? :facepalm:)
wash, rinse, cash the F*cking check.... woa... deja vu..
... sorry.... ive been drinking again :P
*runs from jimmy*
-
Have to agree with Jimmy, I would also like to see this happen but I seriously doubt it will. They should be able to look at TNG, DS9, and Voyager and see which direction they need to go to create a successful series. I don't need to see what happened before TOS, I don't give a shit. While I liked the new ST film, I'm really over all the remake crap that's been coming out of hollywood lately. With the advance of CGI and special effects since Voyager ended, the possibilities for an excellent post Voyager series are endless. :dontcare:
-
As long as nothing from Voyager is in this, or Voyager Tech is just brushed to the side.... it should be alright.
Nice CG would be nice aswell.
-
While I would like to see a post Voyager show, the Gamma Quadrant is out there to explore, I would like gaps filled in.
The Enterprise B goes begging to be done or the adventures of the 1701 during the 20 years before Kirk got her.
If it is done right it can be good. The Galactica franchise has success in doing prequels that haven't messed with that has been laid out in other shows. And while I liked Enterprise only season 4 is the best when they TOS-fied it.
-
Or a series that would not be human-centric, but concentrate on the work of UFP's ambassadors on foreign territories such as Klingon Empire, Romulan Star Empire.. just to get a deeper look behind the iron curtains between the trek nations. Klingons need it, Romulans deserve it, and Cardassians.. well, they can be forgotten. Some old foes could return though.. perhaps the Gorn?

Writers used to listen to the fans? Any examples in trek?

I watch both NCIS and NCIS:LA... I don't see a lot of similarities between them other then the name.
-

I think Enterprise's fourth season had a lot to do with the fans. Manny Coto seemed to be listening...
-

i wouldnt know, i watched 2 episodes and was immediately turned off by Chris O'Donnel (i just dont like his acting), so i cant rightfully judge the series as a whole.
-
there are several gaps to fill in
the Daedalus days: 2161-ca 2200, including the Romulan War
Post Romulan War to 2230-'s
the prime Kelvin era
the mark one connie era (supposedly, the first connie hull was finished in 2245)
the TMP gap 2270-2280 (commonly referred to as "the Lost Years")
the Adventures of Sulu and Harriman (excelsiors take the forefront) from 2295
the X era with the enterprise C (and watching Picard as a noob!)
Picard's time with the stargazer.
personally, I'd take Post TMP to Pre TNG, get a few "last shot" cameos in before the TOS cast dies off.
-
Personally, I'd like to see what the Kelvin got up to in the prime timeline.
-
I wouldn't like a TV series taking place during the Romulan war if it contradicted the Enterprise books that are dealing with it at the moment. I liked those books.

couldnt agree more there. that is a BIG gap in timeline that needs to be filled. but i would say have the B & C ents. make cameos as well, follow the crew of a regular joe Excel, or the Ambassador when it was still in NX Phase. considering the amounts of tech advances between the two ships the first season could be set as the shakedown cruise for the NX Amb, seeing the torch be passed between the B & C, noting at the stargazer and the events that happened there, actually witnessing a few events that were only hinted at during TNG - VOY and at the end of the series see the galaxy under construction as a last shot.

10 Things We Want From a New Star Trek TV Show (http://io9.com/5928143/10-things-we-want-from-a-new-star-trek-tv-show)
i could think of alot more than 10...
-
I like those 10, and agree for the most part.
But what In a Mirror Darkly proved is a show set during the TOS era could still look good in the 21st Century, everything was futuristically retro, give me Cpt April and the 1701 and lets go again where no man had gone before!
-
I think that the prime universe should be left alone in terms of TV shows - leave it to games and stuff to continue that part. I see parallels with Stargate - the technology is just too powerful now, one of the galaxy's big villains seem much of a threat and simply introducting yet another just seems wrong (Stargate Universe tried something different, but that didn't turn out well). A reboot of both is best, imo.
After a few films set in the new universe, I'd like a new TV series set 70-80 years after the films (around the same time as TNG) so they have a lot of leeway in how things are (butterfly effect). They could make it very different - completely different crew, perhaps a ship design nothing like the Galaxy. It would be nice to have one or two characters the same (like Guinan turning up in an episode, one of the main cast or recurring characters turning up, etc). It would also be nice to have one two-parter involving the Temporal Cold War (perhaps with even Bakula making an appearance) and even one or two episodes which have a similar plot to TNG.
But, ultimately, it would be a brand new mythos with similar building blocks. Much less canon to try and comply to and a bigger empty space for much more creativity.
-
I think the early 23rd century is just begging to be done. How's about the adventures of the Kelvin?
I think it has to be either that, sometime during the lost era between TMP and TNG, post nem or maybe even during/slightly before STO?
Tying STO into events that happen in the series and vice versa would be rather nifty if done right.
-
I'd love a TLE series, such an underdeveloped era in Star Trek.
-
My preferences would be a prime timeline post-Nemesis setting or a gen 1 Constitution setting, seeing Pike or April as a captain would be so cool.
-
I think its safe to say that they will never make another series, please morons from Paramount, prove me wrong.
-
I'd like to see something that follows the Juniors officers and enlisted personnel of a ship rather than the command crew. Sort of like the Walking dead but with the zombies replaced with the situations the command crew puts the ship in. I don't know if it would make a great series but I'm pretty sure it would make for a damn nice mini series or maybe a few specials in the same vein as BSG: Razor.
Or what about following one or two young joes through the academy and their careers?
