    Who do you think should direct Star Trek 3? Do you want JJ to come back, or do you support #BringInRiker?

    As much as I love Jonathan Frakes and want to see him direct Star Trek 3, I think that JJ is actually the better choice. Going back and thinking about the problems that I had with the other two movies, I find that most of the complaints that I have are about the script and dialogue, not the direction itself. I actually think that JJ did a good job directing these young actors. The main reason that I think that JJ is the better choice over Frakes is the fact that the main cast knows JJ and he knows them. As an actress myself, I can tell you that having an existing relationship with your director is a HUGE advantage in a production and it can significantly affect the end result. While I think that Frakes is a great director and is very qualified to direct Star Trek 3, I think that if he or another director takes the helm (no matter how experienced) the production aspects (such as camera work and special effects) may be better, but I think that keeping JJ may be more of a benefit to the actors.

    Nah. The Frakes idea seems too forced. Good for him for showing interest in doing it (that shows he would care about the material, even if it takes place in Abrams' sandbox), but no, it doesn't feel right.

    I would love to see JJ finish out the trilogy, and his vision of Trek (yes, I'm a fan of the Abramsverse). I don't see that happening... although, I don't understand why it's automatically assumed that Trek 3 will come out in summer 2016.

    There would be NOTHING wrong with pushing the film to a Christmas 2016 release date, and get it right with a great director (Abrams or not).

    Hello Star Trek Online fans and Priority One listeners,

    My choices to direct Star Trek 3 would be Alec Peters or Christen Gossett from Star Trek Axanar.

    These two gentleman have done more to relight the fire of core Trek than anyone else in the last twenty years, in my opinion. With a small fan funded budget, unmatched drive and imagination they have created a vision of Trek the fans have been wanting for a long time.

    The Axanar project started off with a kickstarter goal of forty thousand dollars and in the end made over one hundred thousand dollars, and they gave us Prelude to Axanar (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W1_8IV8uhA), a prof of concept twenty minuet film done in the style of a history channel documentary.

    The next kickstarter project was for the full Axanar film. Their goal was to rise a half a million dollar but ended up getting over six hundred thirty eight thousand dollars. It should be noted that George Takei social media support got Axanar the last two hundred thousand dollars in donations! (thanks uncle George) and the film should be out sometime in 2015. Now imagine what these two could do with a full Hollywood budget!

    Jonathan Frakes is Trek Royalty and I think he would do a good job, but it's time for some fresh blood and new idea's. As independent film makers Peters & Gossett have brought a vision/idea of Trek and crowd funding to a new level on par with a full Hollywood production. They have proven themselves in my eyes and I say give them the IP and a Hollywood budget!

    Just my two cents,
    Shawn “Airborne” Williams

    Modern iterations of Trek don't suffer from a lack of 'fresh', they suffer from a lack of experience. Bring in Riker.

    Just thought you should know, when you were talking about accidentally queuing for the "Winter Invasion" event while trying to eat pie, and everyone else was... silent: I too, had no idea what you were talking about, but not because I don't DO the pie eating contest, but because I've never had this problem. I suspect it's the boots, I don't use them unless I'm racing. That said, just yesterday, a fleet mate had the exact same thing happen to them while I was chatting with them, so despite the fact we all think you are crazy, it turns out you are not alone. :cool:

    Really? You think it's more likely for Elijah to not be aware of the original 10 movies than him just acknowledging that the new one is the 3rd in the new movie series? :confused:

    I consider it "Star Trek 3"as well, because I consider JJ Trek its own separate franchise. Which gets to why Frakes would be a poor choice as director. Michael Bay would be more fitting for this ADHD TRIBBLE.

    Then dont call it STAR TREK.. call it TRIBBLE TREK or JJ TREK or WARS TREK. Beacose if it is Star Trek, then is the 13th movie.

    Maybe, but only for ppl that want to change 50 years of history.

    Me, I am happy with the 50 years of Star Trek.. happy and proud to be fan of this franchise.

    I understand that you don’t like the ST universe as a hole (maybe that is why you love STO so much), but old trekkers like me, well.. they don’t forget easy their pass.

    That's a patently absurd claim. That "history" isn't touched IRL, and probably not even in-continuity. The Prime Universe still exists, at the very very least, living on in STO.

    If a person says "there are two Star Trek 3's" how are they not acknowledging the original?

    The fact is, Star Trek 3 is a placeholder name until we get an actual name. That doesn't ignore the existence of the Search for Spock in any way.

    I have a better placeholder name: Star Trek 13.

    It seems that some ppl is mad that JJ didnt manage to erease 50 years of history and that there some fans out there that remember that Star Trek 3 is The Search for Spock and that Star Trek Online the only trek thing that has is the model of some ships and the name on it.

    That makes you all mad, true?

    There is only one Star Trek III now, but it is ignorant to deny the possibility that the newest movie can't also hold that title. I'm sorry is you refuse to accept that some people will call it that, but that doesn't justify you implying that your mere opinion is fact.

    You do understand that the first two JJ films are part of the last 50 years of Trek History, yes?

    People they have not officiously put a number with the movies since ST6. So what if we refer to the re-imagined, rebooted universe as ST3, it's just a place holder name, who the frak cares. Good god can we please get back on subject of who would be a good director for the new movie.

    I do, that is why is Star Trek 13. It is not outside the Star Trek Franchise, it is where it belongs.

    Actually it isn't, not really, the Abrams films have a different style and tempo that set them apart from the TNG films just as the TNG films are set apart from the TOS films. For this reason I'm doubtful about Frakes being involved directing part 3, while yes he does indeed have vast experience, his experience is in a different kind of Trek and I don't really know if he could make a part 3 that would mesh with previous 2 of the Abramsverse Star Trek, but if he could, it would be a coup and mark of great talent as a director.
    And honestly get a grip, I've been a fan of the franchise for untold decades but have had to observe some of my fellow fans with a jaundiced eye because this rabid fan nonsense is embarrassing.

    Good.. now that I proven to you that is not ONLY my opinion, and that MEMORY ALPHA call it STAR TREK XIII (not III) then we can agree that anyone can call it what ever they want.

    If you wish, you can call it "Star Trek The Best III move ever".

    Anyway, I am going to stick with the math and until some one makes a time travel and erase the 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12th movies, I am going to agree with MA and call it ST XIII

    Now, lets go back to topic: evrything is not awesome on STO makes of the Priority One Podcast, maybe next time inform about that.

    I still support Orci or Frakes .

    The reasons ?
    JJ has no "vision" for Trek apart from lens flares . The second movie rehash of RoK was enough to prove that .

    And speaking about RoK (which is hailed as the best Trek movie ever) -- guess how many movies it's director has directed before ? Here's the big number : 1 .

    Orci OTOTH was writing and producing projects when a certain vocal podcaster was still in puberty , and that's not counting Producer credits on other multi-million dollar movies .
    In fact he has one of the largest number of producer credits in recent memory , often times working on several projects at a time .
    The writer/director of WoK had one directorial credit and a handful of writing credits to his name before WoK .
    So yeah, Orci having seen his scripts produced and filmed and having a large list of production credits to himself including on the very JJ Trek he was supposed to direct, WAS in fact quite qualified to make his directorial debut with a rebooted franchise that is at this point more caricatures then characters of any meaningful depth in and by themselves .

    ... that, and Frakes would be awesome too ...

    Memory Alpha is a Wiki and like any Wiki anybody can go in there and edit it to say whatever the hell they want so let's please not put the place on too high a pedestal. As for the nature of the Podcast, come on guys we've been down this road, the podcast isn't journalism it's a talkshow by a bunch of amateurs, we can't fault them for being something they're not.

    No. I just don't consider the use of the number 3 to be some cardinal sin against Trekdom. The fact that you read so much into it is kinda strange.

    I'd prefer to call it star trek 3 because it keeps up a wall of separation between the timelines.

    "I just watched Star Trek 3."
    "Real Trek or Nu Trek?"
    "Real Trek."

    Calling it Star Trek 13 legitimizes it into the original canon serial more than Id like to.

    I hear the P1 guys and gals bring up problems and issue's all the time, they just don't focus on all the negativity posted on the forums about the game. If they went off on the dev's for every little thing bitched about in the forums no one would listen to the show and they would end up going the way of the dodo bird like a few other STO podcast. You can't snag interviews if all you do is flame the game and the dev's and who wants to hear a bunch of negative Nancy's in a podcast? I sure don't.

    They take the high road and talk about the good things about the game and that's a good thing. Plus as the old saying goes, “you don't bite the hand that feeds you” Again they bring up issue's and problems, they just don't do it with a flamethrower and they don't focus their podcast around the negativity.

    But a hater is going to hate so carry on, those of us who love the game will still be here playing! And listening to Priority One!
