Would you like new star trek series in prime time line

Post Reply New Topic

I mean new Star Trek, taking place in times after DS9 & Voy

Who would be you best choice for captain

I would definitely want another Star Trek series. Would it be too cliché to mention my wish of a Spock/Data character?

Tim Roth for captain.

A show in the early 25th century would be a good idea which would take place around twenty years after the last movie in the regular universe(Star Trek:Nemesis). That would be cool since characters from TNG/DS9/VOY would still be alive but much older, so some of them could possibly makes guest appearances on episodes.

How about Star Trek: Captain Wesley Crusher

I don't think a new series in the old timeline will be made. If they ever make a new series, wouldn't they set them in the new rebooted Star Trek from the films?

Why not old timeline?

The past Star Trek films were always about one of the existing series. First they create the series, and later they made some films with the same crew. Now they are just making films and did not make a new series out of it. Which will be difficult to do now, because making a film with the new Kirk crew would mean all those actors need to sign up for the next 5-7 years or so. I don't think there will be any series in the near future, maybe forever. There have been Star Trek series running from 1987 - 2005 and nothing since then.
I would like a new series in the old timeline though. Maybe a new series after Voyager, or maybe something between Enterprise and the The Original Series. I thought Enterprise deserved one more season to wrap things up, but apparently the ratings were too low. The number of viewers has been going down after The Next Generation. When you look at the ratings from all the series next to each other it looks very sad:

I heard that in not created Enterprise season 5, we would have T'pol as half Romulan and Shran in main cast, it's a shame that the fifth season was never made.

^^^ Technically they could still make season 5, because the Star Trek 2009 reboot takes place after that as far as I know. Probably will not happen, many of the cast will have moved on. Too bad, I really wish they would have made season 5.

The only thing we know for certain (more or less) is that there will be a third Star Trek movie because the cast has signed on for 3 films.

I put little to no stock in Nielson ratings.

TOS was on a major network when you only had 3 channels to watch (4 if you count PBS). Later series came out on 4th, 5th, 6th/cable networks.

Sci Fi has always been a niche market. You need a perspective of how well it does in its own market, not general entertainment.

That said, with the whole cold temporal war thing, I think Star Trek is out of ideas. New stories need new territory/new situations, and I'm not sure how you'd do that. Time travel is just fraught with peril for writer screwups.

I understand the Scyfy channel is working with Michael Dorn to create a new series which stars Worf as captain of his own ship.

Honestly, I wouldn't be bothered even if they did, and I think they ought not too. Chronologically they got worse and worse - TNG was better than DS9, DS9 was better than Voyager, and Voyager was better than Enterprise. There's been better Sci-Fi shows out there (Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica, Fringe, etc.) - the Star Trek franchise does not have a monopoly on good sci-fi any more, and since their recent history on TV hasn't been too great, I don't really see a need for a new ST series, or have any real desire to see one.

While I did rather enjoy The Next Generation, at this point I find that I'm sick to death of Human-like aliens, so my answer is no.

Yes, there should be a new Star Trek series. DS9 is my all time favorite, but Voyager and Enterprise also manage to outstrip TNG and TOS. I'm sure that any new series would keep up the momentum.

Not necessarily.

They could make a series involving minor or supporting characters who appear in the new films. Those actors are more likely to sign on for something like that, as opposed to in-demand actors like Zachary Quinto or Zoe Saldana. It would need to have great writing in order to win our hearts the way Uhura, Kirk, and Spock have, and to me that would be the real challenge. I think there is a stigma to genre writing for television, and a lot of the best writers don't want to go near it for fear of limiting their prospects. Even if they assembled a great crew of writers, getting them to stick around for more than two or three seasons would be a challenge, because when a series gets popular, so often other projects try to poach them or lure them off to something else. There are so many great shows that fall off after four or five seasons because the writers disappear, and even with much or all of the same cast, it isn't the same show.

I ask question again How about Star Trek: Captain Wesley Crusher
