Both Riker and Kirk Tried To Make New Star Trek Shows

[Centrophy]

Im a Classic Trek fan. I cant stand the serious ones...I hate dramas, and Im not good with shows that I have to follow a plot for more than about an hour. I like that when I watch the origional Star Trek, it doesnt matter if I saw the episode right before, since each one was usually a stand alone episode. It was a status quo show, only ever gaining and losing one shot red shirts.

You mean monster of the week type shows? I really don't like those kinds of things, but I suppose people can like different things. Babylon 5 had a somewhat monster of the week approach at first (which as I said I didn't like) but there were always tidbits that would come back in the later seasons.

Well...not like that. The origional series was FUN and entertaining. I watch it more like a comedy or something. I dont like serious. Serious is boring. It was a more light hearted series with enemies and problems that rarely got to a devastaing point, or if they did, its hard to believe.

I think Frakes could do a good job creating a new century for Star Trek. I think the guys behind TNG, DS9, and Voyager wore out the 24th century by setting three series in it. Time for a change of era. Jump ahead 120 years after the events of Nemesis to the early 26th century and put a Romulan in the captain's chair of the Enterprise-I.

Am I the only one that felt Enterprise got better near the end?

but by the time those episodes aired, the show's fate was already decided, too bad.

I always thought Scott Bakula would make a good captain, but then I watched and was wrong.

Seeing as Frakes had directed quite a few episodes (and a few movies - which were really good), I might've thought he'd be an ideal candidate to get the ball rolling again- i.e. fan love, series love and having someone who knows what's going on enough without necessarily making an alternate universe where they can screw with things.

I'd love to see a series based around the Starfleet Time Police, or whatever they were called in Voyager. That would have some potential...

*entering Picard fanboy mode* William Shatner would have spend an entire three seasons speaking (with a coma after every word) about how awesome he and his fanboys think he is.

Kirk FTL! Picard FTW!

It would actually be neat to see, but with the new film (which people seem to have a bunch of unnecessary hate for, just sayin') going back and retreading ground doesn't seem like a good idea at this point.

I would be game for a new show. The Universe is ripe for story telling. They can go in so many directions. The problem I have with Fringe is if I miss an Episode I am lost for good (Like Lost), so I stopped watching and will just wait for the DVD. Star Trek could be episodic, watch one and done, yes there were over-riding plot points and a story that continued but you could enjoy one an dmore on.

Can someone please explain to me just why exactly Enterprise was canceled?
I always thought StarTrek was a bunch of boring space ninnies until the premiere of Enterprise came on TV. Then I became a semi-Trekker and started watching reruns of all the other series.... Except for Deepspace9. That one was crap.

Also, the reason Nemesis failed was because it was a shitty film. Not because there was still a TV show running.

The Next Star Trek movie will probably be a reimagining of Picard's journey, like how the recent one was about Kirk.

I'm sorry what now? Where are you getting that? J.J. Abrams spent a whole movie creating a new canon. He won't abandon those characters for quite some time I think.
