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:

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.

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.

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 -

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  :)

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

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?

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