Topic: Will there be another Star Trek TV show? Posted: 12-Nov-2011 at 10:50 |

Interesting idea. One issue with the series I constantly hear is the name Roddenberry invoked too often. "Gene wanted...Gene wanted...Gene's vision...." Producers are afraid to veer out of the transwarp corridor that is Roddenberry's 'vision'. I think having having the Alpha Quadrant being in total shambles after the Dominion War would be captivating to watch. No one superpower, etc., maybe less powerful species could become almost the equal with the Klingons, Romulans, Breen etc. Kind of a Wild West frontier.

There is too much money in a series to not do it again. Give it about ten years for the current batch of films run its course.
I would personally enjoy something like a scene in an episode where Worf was traveling through multiple dimensions/ enterprises. At the end, on of the enterprise ships is a total wreck, the federation is gone, and the borg were everywhere.

I prefer the movies but hope one day they do a new series (with Quinto as Spock) set sometime after the latest film

I'm hoping for a new series, but the powers to be seem more bent on movies than a series.
With Voyager making it back home from the Delta Quadrant, there's more than enough material for the new series placed taking place there.

I'm well aware that this is a fairly old thread, but I'm a Star Trek fan (mostly of Next Generation and the Original Series), and I must speak my mind here. I wouldn't mind a new Star Trek series, I know Enterprise was quite unpopular, even with Trekkies, but there is still potential in a new Star Trek TV series, especially after the released of the critically well accepted Star Trek film (the new one).
If they do another series, I'd want it to be mostly like TNG, to be honest. I suppose it's the one I actually grew up watching (well, I was born shortly after the first two or three seasons), so I'm sort of biased for it, but we need another Captain like Picard, with Solomon-esque wisdom, and understanding for his crew. Maybe that's what Star Trek fans are looking for in a new TV series?

Star wars is lame, and the character worth watching is yoda.

I think despite all of the canon and cast, there has to be a fundamental change from just a ship, a crew and people exploring the galaxy to keep people interested. A really good setting for a show would be star fleet command or star fleet academy.

the Borg underwent a serious change since the first appearance in TNG and the last encounter in Voyager. in TNG they appeared as some sort of mystical superior race of cyborgs whose massive ships even huge fleets can't stop. the last time we saw them on Voyager they were some sort of dumb man-toasters that could easily be outmanouvred and destroyed by a witty starfleet captain commanding a mediocre ship isolated from its homebase.

The Cardassians were prtetty cool, now the Bajorans WERE lame. You know, they could make a show were the Borg declare war on all unassimilated lifeforms.

they were original, what we saw in recent years was a flood of the same old humanoid aliens just with different make-up & masks, that was lame...

exactly my sentiments. the problem with both Voyager and Enterprise was that both had Vulkans who aren't like Vulkans (read: Spock). but that was not the only reason but the cast in both cases was a major reason of failure. DS9 worked well because it was pretty different from the previous Star Trek shows in many regards, however Voyager was just a weak copy of the original & TNG. and what happened to all those kick-ass clouds & energy lifeforms?
