What timekine should a new Star Trek Series begin in?

hawkwing43

#1 I want to add, if a new show gets made, maybe the best place for it is online streaming. Have a company like Netflix or Hulu Plus pick it up, and you watch it there,

That being said....


What time period should a new show cover im your mind?

After the events of Undiscovered Country?

The Romulan Wars?

After Nemesis?

How about in the new timeline, but im TNG era?

What are yout thoughts on this topic?

BTW Netflix has new 1st run shows they provide, just look at the following link:

Even DreamWorks is going to Produce Multiple Shows for Netflix:

So the idea of them having a NEW star trek show made from them, isn't out of the question, and I say why not.

The Mirror universe, Enterprise era.

This way they can remake the universe almost anyway they want ala JJverse.

I was actually thinking it might be interesting to have a show slightly prior to TNG, during the Cardassian war.

I think STO's time period, about thirty years after Nemesis, would be nice.

There's already a pretty substantial effort going on to get a Fifth Season of ENTERPRISE made by Netflix.

Personally, I'd love to see a series set during the Romulan war.

Heh, which one ?

drogyn1701

Would love to see a tie-in show with STO (though maybe a bit more integrated than Defiance). Make it about one Federation, one KDF and one Romulan Republic captain and rotate the focus between episodes. Have it be about their rise from taking over their first ships all the way to being promoted to captain. Utilize plot points and ship designs from the game.

Off the top of my head I'm thinking Damian Lewis as an Andorian Fed captain, Ty Olsson as the Klingon captain and Lexa Doig as the Romulan commander.

cmdrscarlet

I agree ... STO timeline.

starkaos

Star Trek VI was set in 2293 and TNG started in 2364 so 71 years difference. The next series should be set about 71 years after Nemesis so 2450.

Opening scene
Nero lies on the floor of his bridge
A slightly transparent figure stands over him with a drawn phaser and fires
Nero vanishes

The figure reports in "Anomoly Erased" (brent spinners voice)
And vanishes in a high tech transporter effect
The ship then explodes

Cut to scene of hobus shockwave starting Stuttering and reversing
Same voice "causual event Erased"

pan back to temporal destroyer slowly fading out of reality ships name visible on the side "U.S.S. Tipex"

Then open a new series with everything back where it belongs

You realise that would effectively wipe this game out of existence, right?

You also realise that that is a reset button, which many hate VOY: "Year of Hell" for doing?

I would personally go for post TNG - if only for the chance of a Capt. Juan Luc Picard or Admiral William Ross cameo. Maybe have it set following the aftermath of the Hobus Supernova, and Starfleet's difficulties during that time? I believe the Klingon-Gorn War started a few years after the Supernova, and even if it didn't, we know the Klingons used this as an opportunity to regain lost territory.

Well, I have an idea for a fanfic! :cool:

Otherwise, I'm hopeful for Enterprise getting a 5th Season. I really liked that show, and it was just getting its footing when it was cancelled.

eldarion79

I would go for a early 26th Century Trek Series or a new Trek Series that does a crossover like Defiance for STO.

thecosmic1

Just as the TNG era jumped roughly a century past the start of TOS I'd prefer to see a new Trek series jump a century past TNG. And now that CGI is quite prevalent we can have new ships without needing to use older models and convolute the time period, and we can have exotic aliens, and also have expanded further into space with new species and objectives.

It's not that I hate Borg, Klingons, Romulans, and Cardassians. It's just that in some ways those species have become the old songs of rockstars who refuse to make new music and spend their careers still singing The Twist or Blue Velvet. Trek needs some new rockstars.

As amazing as this game is, it's story is not considered to be true canon, so to me that's not really a concern.

That being said, I wouldn't want to put an erase button on the Hobus supernova either. In fact, I think a series following the supernova (and disappearance of Spock, as I assume would happen) would be awesome. Explore similar issues that this game has explored, such as the destabilization of the Romulan Star Empire, galactic political chaos, Klingons jumping at the chance to flex their warrior muscles (a well documented complaint of some Klingons in the show), etc. Shoot, the breakdown of the Federation-Klingon alliance would even be interesting. Have episodes about former friends being forced to fight each other, the struggle between honor/duty and personal feeling, and so on. I think that could be some really good stuff.

Wuzza "Timekine"?

wraithshadow13

I think, for me personally at least, the best place to start is the current timeline roughly 20 years since nemesis. This would be a great starting point for a show since it would still allow anyone from TNG, DS9, or Voy to make an appearance, as well as allowing the continuity to set up the game as a possible future. It would still allow plenty of leeway to make additions as well as show us the canon version of the fallout from the shows and movies while setting up its own pace.

marc8219

Anytime from nemesis to 2409. Going back in timeline like Enterprise did just leads to too many contradictions and ends up not making sense.

otisnoble

What about Frontiers.

markhawkman

I'd love to see something that picked up where Enterprise ended. Maybe not THAT ship, but a different one in nearly the same era.

During the Dominion War on frontline a starship for the first episode then continue after Nemesis.

A series revolving around the Enterprise J would be interesting. One big city ship with thousands of different people aboard, exploring other galaxies. It could rotate around different characters, from the ship's crew to the regular everyday citizens living inside it.

breadandcircuses

I vote for the Mirror Universe. Goatees rule, as do empires.

javaman1969

The further along in the future the timeline is, the less new, exciting and treacherous space travel it's self seems. I would like to get the original air of mystery back, so I would prefer something farther back in time. Either just after Enterprise Season four, or Just after The Undiscovered Country, both time periods that have been relatively untouched. i like the aesthetics of both those periods, too. DS9 proved that the main action doesn't have to take place on a ship named Enterprise, so there is freedom to go another way if someone wants to.

I'd like to see it set 100 years post TNG.

Far enough ahead that too most viewers, there would be no recognition as being from a specific universe. Leave that up to interpretation, on purpose.

It's 2 years after the Second Hur'q Invasion of the Klingon Empire. With the help of the Federation, Gorn and Cardassians, the Hur'q are pushed back through the intermittent wormhole - leading to another galaxy.

The series would focus on a next generation Starship, the first production ship to utilize a new type of foldspace drive capable of intergalactic travel. Her mission to make the trip to the Hur'qs home galaxy and to assess whether they will contonue to pose a threat, and to find the prototype ship that traveled before them - The Enterprise-G.

Her crew is made up of a mix of battle-hardened troops from the Hur'q Invasion, and an eclectic mix of characters. A Cardassian doctor, an Alpha Jem Hadar first officer, a vulcan engineer and a human captain. Secondary characters would include Romulan science team, members of section 31 and a Ferengi quartermaster with remarkable trading skills.

New technologies would set it apart from other ships. Her main power source would be an Aldean Dark Matter Accumulator and a pair of troublesome Romulan Artificial Singularity reactors. Think massive engineering set.

Transporters are a back-up in this day and age. Iconian gateway technology is used both inside the ship and as a means of transporting to other ships.

Personal armour and shields, both MACO and OMEGA will be part of combat away teams.

The biggest technological oddity, is that this new class of ships is bigger on the inside. Shaped like the classic 2 nacelles with separate saucer and engineering bodies - this ship has no nacelle struts. The nacelles appear to be held in position with nothing at all, yet engineer crews walk between the ship sections at will. Structural fields and Iconion technology make this behemoth work.

The initial big villian would be the Hur'q, but over the course of the first series the Tholians cross-dimension Empire would spill into our verse, allowing us to play with ALL the universes.

Whoah - I have thought about this waaaay too much

starkaos

Having a series focused on the Department of Temporal Investigations, Starfleet Corps of Engineers, or Section 31 would make for an interesting story. Each have their merits so maybe have the style like the Outer Limits were it doesn't focus on just one group. Could have Department of Temporal Investigations uncover some Temporal enemy in one episode, Section 31 deals with the Temporal enemy in a couple episodes after that, and Starfleet Corps of Engineers deals with the aftermath like helping damaged colonies and scavenging for tech from the Temporal enemy for a few more episodes.

centersolace

I would like to see one happen during the years slightly prior and during STO. While a lot of it is really silly, there are some interesting ideas STO has, and would make a good part of a series.

aliensamongus

As long as it involves exploration on a Federation starship and include many races to visit for diplomatic missions and even detective-like episodes where backstabbings take place..

Also:

Mirror universe

History turned out much differently for the Vulcans of the mirror universe. When the Vulcans made first contact with Earth of this universe in 2063, Zefram Cochrane shot the first Vulcan to publicly set foot on Terran soil, believing his vessel to be the vanguard of an intended invasion. The Terrans stormed the T'Plana-Hath and studied Vulcan technology. Eventually, the Terran Empire was able to conquer the Vulcans.

By the 2150s, Vulcans were considered slaves to Humans and not treated as equals. A number of Vulcans and Vulcan ships rebelled against the Terran Empire, but by 2267, their attempts seem to have been unsuccessful. By that time, however, it appeared that Vulcans, such as Spock, were treated with more respect and feared by some Terrans.


Now who doesn't want to see that? x)
