OT: Star Trek 11 (?) news...

[geoschmo]

Zabel told SCI FI Wire that the show would reset the mythology to "start a new 'Universe B' which would be free to move in new directions as needed and yet allow us to work with the classic characters that all fans love and cherish. The best of all worlds, if you will."

These people really have no freaking clue what makes the average Trek fan tick do they? The average non-Treker will not see this because they don't like Trek. And the average Trek fan will hate it casue they are screwing with the established timeline. And he thinks this is the "best" of both worlds?

There just pissed that they let RB and BB screw things up so badly.

This old Harvy Bennette idea has been laughed to death so many times that they really must now be utterly desprate to even be thinking about it.

They SHOULD GO WITH THE ROMULAN WAR TRILOGY!

I agree with Geo. Don't call it a Star Trek movie if it's not going to fit in with the Star Trek universe.

While it is an interesting idea and previous productions have been successfully in re-booting franchises (ie Batman, prolly Superman), I'd rather see their creative energies in create a new Sci-Fi type universe instead. Perhaps one with vegetables, and fruit, and meat, and...

They should just create a new space opera series based upon Star Trek. Look at what the books have been able too do. Lets face it, the original series is over, the cast are dying off, and to now go back and try to remake history is just plain f***ing stupid in my book. Sure Matt D. would be an interesting Captain, but who would they get to play Spock or McCoy? Gary Sinese (sp) as Doctor McCoy, and some unknown dude to play is playing Mr. Spock.

For Gods sakes, listen to the fans for once and just make a trilogy dealing with the Romulans. Hell introduce a new cast and give us something to call Star Trek.

Really I would love nothing more than to take these young yuppie stuck up producers of today and beat them to near death with their blackberries and liberal "lets remake Star Trek" scripts.

Here's a thought, have Matt Damon play Kirks great great grand son. The plot would be simple, on the maiden voyage of the Enterprise F James Thaddous Kirk and crew uncover a secret plot by the romulans to destroy the Klingon Star system using an ancient Federation technolongy, the Genesis device.

Kirk and crew must stop the evil plot form succeeding with a damaged ship, limited ability, and a cunning and devious enemy commander bent upon finishing his mission.

Kirks great great grandson could easily be explained away as the child of one of Kirks many sexual excursions.

Think about it, Admiral Picard giving a new Star Ship Enterprise to the great great grandson of James Kirk. Picard having met Kirk and been there at his death would have taken a special interest in Kirks offspring. Then Kirk and crew set out to save not only the Federation, but the Klingon empire as well.

If I can come up with a story.... then why in the hell can't they?

And lets make the enemy Romulan commander an intelligent bad guy like the dude in Serenity or Darth Vader. No more of these idiots of year bad guys.... That just insults people and pisses me off.

Make the movie a long epic film.. hire Peter Jackson to help develop it and to direct it. Take a page out of the Gene Roddenburry book of success and move on with a new crew, a new mission, and a new philosophy toward intelligent story telling coupled with good characters and exceptional plots.

[censored] can these remakes and pre-tos ideas and start fresh. Pick up where Nemesis left off and move on. Give us something fresh, not something thats been reheated, remade, and reserved so many times that the meir thought of it sickens one to the point of vomitting.

Woah, Trek has an established time line? It seems to shift and bend as the writers see fit (like that awful Enterprise...).

[Atrocities]

There is a way to fix all of the time line muck ups. But no one will ever be brave enough to do it. Like I said, hire Peter Jackson and tell him to fix Star Trek.... then leave him to do his job.

J. Michael Straczynski could do a damn fine job too, though he might kill himself in the process.
