i think it would be awesome if Star Trek Created Another TV series!

NOW i don't believe in going backwards... one bit...

i would like to see a new TV series based in the year 2409 same as the Online game!

And another female captain.... the man to woman ratio is 4 to 1... in all honesty... Janeway was the only female captain i remember seeing! (been awhile tho) Female Captain should be human, vulcan, Trill or Bajoran (my personal preferences)

If Trill Captain should get implanted with a Symbiote at 2nd season or so.

Could start off like the game, your an ensign. get promoted while fighting the borg, get command of your own ship and a crew of freshmen.
Could start with the renewed war with the Klingons.
could then move to the Romulans.
Could then move to the True Way. (see some DS9)
Could focus on Species 8472 (undine)
Get Assimilated by the borg around mid series, get rescued by your crew.
Then the Borg resurgence! (getting assimilated gives the captain an advantage.... and nightmares
TV show would need to be alittle more action packed! Alittle more... Bad A** if ya know what i mean XD
This would also go good in a game format using Mass Effect Story Depth and Character development :)

    The last 4 or 5 trys have gone like this. They go to CBS and want to do during TOS timeline and CBS says NO but we will let you do during the TNG timeline and it fail apart..

    According to reports, JJ Abrams is the reason there is no tv series. Which might well be a blessing since his alternate anti-Roddenberry universe sucks.

    We won't see a new series for a long long time. And when we do, it will be for a whole new generation of viewers. The current era fans of TNG/DS9/VOY will feel like the oldies that watched TOS on the tube, and wont like it one but. Oh well I have all the DVD box sets and looking forward to the blu-ray rleases :D. And please don't suggest another female captain; The last one was incompetent and irritating.

    Sci fi series like start trek are dead, they are very expensive, and even with a good viewers ratings they always get cancel because of profits. The stargate franchise did a good fight, but also die (stargate universe cancel after a few episodies, and all the movies related to SG1 and SGA cancel too).

    Is more easy make a normal series, some comedia or real-life stuff, with a few unknown actors, low-cost, hight-benefit, or just another stupid wrestling show. Sadly but true

    If they could somehow turn a reality TV series into Star Trek we may have a chance .... Hmmmm

    stargate's demise had nothing to do with profitability. SG1 and SGA were the highest rated shows on Syfy, and did well against the networks on friday nights.

    Stargate's problem is that it's owned by MGM which is in the middle of bankrupcy. if Stargate:Worlds had hit th servers I'd be there before here

    @jkstocbr:


    SGU ran an entire season, and it was fairly good. Let's not count it out entirely because it got cancelled. So was Firefly, after a fraction of same number of episodes.

    SG1 had about half a dozen movies made towards the end and after the end of the series. SGA tied it all in and was back on earth (rather tidy, but so be it) so there was no need for any movies.


    Your analysis is a bit flawed.


    Fact of the matter is most often networks don't know what the frak they're doing with shows, good or bad. That's why Survivor and American Idol remain on the air when shows like The Good Guys, Invasion, or any number of other decent shows, get *&#$-canned.

    It would be tough because of budgetary contraints, but it could be done.

    However, J J Abrams shouldn't be allowed anywhere near it.

    Good writing can make a series fly even with a small budget.

    I think we've seen a ship flying around a frickin dozen times, so I don't think it's gonna happen. A Starfleet Academy show might be interesting, showcasing some of the young actors everyone likes. They can do shuttle missions around Jupiter or some TRIBBLE.

    They should make it like a reality show and cast Snookie as the barracks *****. Or make it like Teen Mom but call it 'Academy Mom'.

    Or we could have a TRIBBLE Captain and when he gets a hail the calling Captain tells him he is the Captain of such and such ship, he could do a finger snap head roll and say "Oh yes you are and I'd like you to command me Captain".




    Okay, okay I'll be serious now. I have been honestly thinking that we have seen Starfleet and thier side of the coin. Why not make a show about the Empire? Kilingons have been a mainstay in ST since before most of you were born. I feel they deserve a fair shake.

    Make the show begin in the 25th century where the treaty has fallen apart and we are at war once again. We could follow a young warrior say two episodes of character development on him. He goes to the Klingon Academy. His mother, first officer, on a Klingon cruiser was assimelated by the Borg and the Federation Starship that was supposed to help her...needs of the many, you get the point, when he was the equivelent of 11 Earth years old. So, the hatred has been swelling for ten years in his heart.

    Not all Kilingons are warriors so this show would cover a very broad spectrum of thier lives. I'd really love to see it in the visual artistic fashion (film effects, lighting ect...) of the movie '300' and the Stars TV show 'Sparticus' and just as adult like (Hell all us old Trekkies are pushing 40 anyway).

    Just call the show 'Empire' and give it a new subtitle every season. So Season one would be called for example 'Empire:Warrior Heart' then 'Vengence' so on and so forth.

    You can even run two shows side by side that compliment and entwine with eachother. You see both sides of the story. The other show could be called 'Federation - Damage Control. Or something to that effect. Maybe with the talented people we have here we could write a pilot episode, storyboarding, writing ect...What do you all think?'

    Rather have the new series take right after nemesis. Have a new crew ya but they can also have old TNG/DS9/VOY crew make speical guest apperances and find a way to bring the Ent crew back as a flashback or in a holodeck simliulation.

    Flashback or time travel I'd say, even just to retcon that disaster of a finale, not like the way TGTMD does just to completely contradict it as if it never happened :P

    The alternate reality and the destruction of Romulus nonsense really needs to be kept out of the way, in my humble opinion. I don't know why people solely blame JJ for it, I mean those awful writers probably deserve more.

    To we honest we don't NEED a new series for some time. And it's official that until all movies are done with there will be no more TV shows. I like to bring up the gap between TOS and TNG...a nice, long time, a long time to really think about a story.

    We should never rush Star Treck, we need to let her roll out at her own pace. The fans that "NEED IT NOW b/C I GOT WITHDRAWL!!!!!" will mess up the franchise more than anything if we follow the "NEED NOW" route.

    Also forgot to mention that the new crew should have more aliens as well. I agree that once the mvoies are done then they should do the new series. But then again the movies is set in alternate reality and its done by JJ so lets have a new series now and have it set in the primeverse. :D I suggested a while back they should stick with doing a series but when they want something major they should make that in to a movie.

    This is CBS testing the waters and seeing how many people are actually interested and if they like the ideas being presented. One of the things you do in Major corporations when you can't talk about something is leak a rumor to see if it's worth fanning the flames for. In this case this is more of PR and not so much a rumor. These guys are pretty serious. I'm going to take a guess and say CBS is really worried about over saturation which is what happened in the 90's so they are taking things a bit slow. I can't speak with any authority on this measure but I will say a new Star Trek series that's hip and tackles modern issues is probably in the works. They can easily run it along side of an alternative timeline movie and keep to the original cannon. Just my two cents ;)

    Also, this is similar to the news releases you found. It's all over the web as of last year.

    This.

    Honestly, I understand why Abrams/CBS did it, but I would love it if we did the prime universe, and forgot the whole "destroy Romulus" ever happened.

    Like Many I practically grew up on Star Trek, and to be honest, I miss it on the air, a lot. But I want it done right. Set it in the prime universe, close to after Nemisis. Not necessarily Immediately after, but we are talking no more then a few years. And please, no Hobus supernova. Leave The Romulans as a major power. Tell us about the Cardassians, how are they rebuilding their military might after the dominion war. Get Bajor into the Federation, and maybe introduce a new hostile species (Correct me if I am wrong, but I think we have only explored about 25 percent of the alpha quadrant, so it could happen). Definitely go back on the science/exploration aspect. That would all be awesome.

    Technically Nemesis wraps up the Voyager Arc and TNG.

    How does nemesis wrap up voyager arc? There was only a Cameo apperance of Admiral Janeway nothing more than that and it hinted she was promated, voyager ended in Endgame Episode. Nemesis in my books is a good action movie but needs to be redone or they need to make a proper send of for the TNG crew. Hence why I mentioned the series and guest appearance which now I just had an idea for a pilot episode, have the TNG crew back make the the 1 and 2 episodes as one e.g. smallville finale. Make it like the undiscorvery movie near the end when the crew go off but also introduce the new crew. Have them work to gather to solve something.

    If STO was made into a TV series, I would break my TV in rage.

    Now, a series focused on Ezri Dax and her exploits as captain of the USS Ovaltine or whatever that ship is called might be palatable.

    I like that idea as well, btw I differentiate ending and wrap up. Their was always that very small lingering thought to what happened with the voyager crew and Nemesis did a pretty cool job of answering it.

    Riiight, because Star Trek 5, Generations, Insurrection, Nemesis, much of Voyager and most of Enterprise were just top-notch stuff. Hate to burst some bubbles here (again) but those are the kinds of examples which could have or actually DID lead Star Trek to tank. Talk down about Abrams and his Trek production all you want, but his movie made a dying franchise something the suits in Hollywood felt was worth investing in again. That means the chances of future productions of any type are far more viable and/or likely to happen than they were post Nemesis and Enterprise.

    But hey, keep telling yourselves that all the most popular Trek productions out there prior to "NU-Trek" were the kinds of things Roddenberry would have approved of. TWOK, ST6, First Contact, DS9'S Dominion War story arcs? Yeah, keep telling yourselves that stuff was part of his holy vision. You may now return to watching your episode of Spock's Brain.
