New Movie: Star Trek 11 in 2008
Star Trek the early years sounds promising. With the guy from Lost writing and direct this could be good.

There needs to be DS9 movie, with Sisko back where he belongs. But this time, as an Admiral. After all, the guy ran a whole station and they had the nerve to originally not have him as a Captain.
Anyway...you're right. It gets no respect at all.

J Michael Straczynski was the B5 dude. And what sucks is he actually expressed interest in doing a Trek series not too long ago. And was shot down. Fuckers. He coulda done it quite well. But yes. DS9 REALLY improved as it went along, mainly, I think, because it took a page out of B5: Continual plotlines. For the most part, no particle of the week, no deflector dishes, etc etc. That, and they finally started making the Federation falllable. |

I agree that Star Trek needs a few more years off. I wouldn't miss it if it took the next decade off, and let some new blood come into the picture.

I don't even think it necessarily needs time off. It just needs 1) a fresh writer/director and 2) to not have ANYTHING to do with the old characters. |

I think they need to give Star Trek a 10-15 year break. Its not like they need to do anything new for a while. After all, they have reruns from 5 series now that they can run...over...and over....and over.....and over.

Voyager is the series that really gets no respect. Truly a shame, because some of the writing was superb.
Quote:
I agree that a Next Gen/DS9/Voyager era movie would be the best choice. They could use characters from all three series. A Q movie, though...well, I am not sure how they would explain how the immortal Q (John DeLancie) turned into a 50+ year old mushy potato of a man. Maybe if they used a new actor.

I guess I could understand, maybe from a commercial standpoint, that a long time off could build more desire for a new product. Right now it seems there is more ambivalence than anything else. But from a creative standpoint, yeah, I don't think time would be the difference. They just need to come at things from a new angle, catch up with the times. The last couple series seem very sterile and boring compared with newer fare such as Firefly and Galactica. They definitely need a new group of people in charge. |

Do we have any readers out there. I still enjoy the books very much.
Reading the Dominion Wars and what Picard and his crew were up to during this time was great. I also really enjoy the Cross over books. Q-Squared was fun seeing how the Squire of Gothos was actually a young Q in training. Peter David is my favorite Trek author. BTW. I am still waiting for my Quantum Leap movie!

What I find interesting is that this isn't the first rumored Trek project. That was the one where they were going to bring in the guy from Gladiator, but the script he turned in was so terrible they shelved the whole project.

That I'd definitely agree with. Enterprise should have been good. The premise was there- show what happened at the very beginning: people go into space, people meet all the characters for the first time, all the aliens, etc. And it just never really goes anywhere- it just lacked writing and directing skill. Voyager, well, that was kindof crappy to begin with. Had a few good episodes, but, on the whole, when you're cross promoting with your big chested character and WWF, which your station also carries, it's just time to give up. (Tho I love how people vastly overrate Firefly, it's almost comical.) SI

I hear the calls for a DS9 or Voyager movie, but those are movies that wouldn't have any appeal outside the hardcore fans -- which we have determined is a $43 million gross based on the last outing of the TNG. There is no appeal outside the diehards for this one. A fresh take from a hot, creative writer might be able to pull in the more casual fans. The thing about going back to the past is I think it makes making the movie appeal to fans without being distracting is impossible. I think that bothered people about Enterprise -- I know it bothered fans I talked to. The original series had low-grade graphics and sets -- If you make a $500,000 Star Trek movie today, it's going to look like it took place a thousand years after the original series. To keep fans from bitching about how the movie looks out of chronology, the story and creativity has to be out of the park. |

I grew up watching ST:TNG and loved the run from about season 3 onward. However I have very little interest in watching a "prequel." I'm excited that Berman is not associated with the project, though.

I missed this the first time around. Matt Damon as Kirk? And to echo the other Q fans, we need a Q movie! And I would definitely see another Next Generation movie. |

Although I think Damon would be hated by the fanboy community, I don't hate the idea of Damon as Kirk for one major reason -- he's not Ben Affleck. |
