I'd watch Takai, but he seemed to be able to get NO support over the years for any series with him as the center. Enterprise got cancelled because a lot of people gave up on it after the storylines failed to thrill. And Archer was written too much like a man in need of a a laxative. Scott's a funny guy, so it had to be the writers...the same ones on strike now. Hey, somebody get a script to the producers. There may be a chance yet to reanimate the dead.

Bang, I don't see why they couldn't follow the premise from the early TNG episodes where the Captain was supposed to stay onboard the ship while the First officer leads all landing parties. Sulu could be like Adama in the real Galactica, remaining on the bridge and giving orders. As for his age I think it would just serve to make him more respected by the Junior officers. Take Care.

I still like the idea of a Star Trek movie or series focusing on the starship Excelsior, with Sulu in command. Unfortunately, I guess this idea was nixed, and George Takei is getting up in years now to play a captain in charge of a starship. I always thought Mr. Takei had great acting ability, but he rarely had the opportunity to show it off. Instead, we get saddled with some drek called "Enterprise", in which some episodes completely contradicted information given in earlier Star Trek shows. Just one more reason a show needs to be carefully thought out, instead of being thrust on the air in a hurry just to make a buck, as Rand has stated. Have a good one, everyone.

Red Warrior, according to the official Trek site there are plans for a Star Trek 11, but they have yet to release anything about it. As for a new series, I still feel that the best thing to do is let things settle down to avoid another Enterprise. I also think any new series should be more action driven, and a little more humorous. The one thing I do have to agree with Ron Moore about is there's just too much techno-babel on Trek. I honestly believe the producers should sit down with the writing staff and go over everything that's come before, decide when things started going wrong and start changing things from there. The next thing I would do is take all but one of the series out of syndication, and cut down on the number of novels and other Trek related merchandise released every month. You can't have a serious demand for a product that's glutted the market. I would also suggest a new starship, maybe not another Enterprise, new costumes, and reverting to the original Klingons. It also might be interesting to see one of the new crew being the child or grandchild of a member of the original Enterprise crew, maybe even Captain Pike and Number One. But the main thing I would do is ask the fans what they want. Take Care.

I always thought the new Klingons, which I have never liked, were inspired by the Borelian Gnomen on the real Battlestar Galactica. I miss the old, all bad Klingons, they were a lot more fun and interesting. I would have enjoyed TNG and all the other inferior Trek series much more if they had been more faithful to the original and real Star Trek. Take Care.

Boring, boring,boring. Gosh another treasonous Vulcan episode. I tried watching it. Adverts come on, I read a book, show comes on, I keep on reading. The Doctor was fun, but that was all it had going for it.
Classic Klingons were swarthy People. 20 years later, Movie!Klingons mutated into the big-budget Mars-bar-headed Barbarian heroes. Why were they Mars bars in Enterprise?

Did your mother eat paint chips while expecting you, Fred? Political reasons? Of all the shows faults, aside from one mild poke at the Gulf War, being somebodies political soapbox was never one of them. But you are right about one thing. The people watching it regularly ARE failures. Fortunately some actually wised up.

I think Fred Dawes just summed up why this dreadful series was finally put to rest. Freddie wrote that the series was not a failure, "the people watching it are failures." Touche!! Well, I only watched this accursed abomination a few times, so I guess I'm only a partial failure. Fred didn't exactly post a ringing endorsement for this sad show by calling its faithful (if very few) viewers as "failures." Way to go, Fred, you oughtta work for Ron Moore some day.

No. One of the core cast members said that Paramount is washing it's hands of any and all involvement with Enterprise again, save for maybe a novel or two and videogames.

Another idea for a Trek series. The main computer knows the ship has been stolen and feels it has a responsibility to force the crew to return it to the Federation, but since it can not cause a human being harm it resorts to mind games, like programming the food replicators to only create disgusting alien foods, the transporters to switch the crew's clothes around when they beam somewhere and to occassionally cause them to rematerialize in the nude. The ship's entertainment library, containing millions of videos and forms of music from planets throughout the galaxy will only play Rigellian or Klingon operas. In one episode a crew member might download alien porn and cause the main computer to pick up some weird futuristic virus. Take Care.

Those are very good ideas rand, When was reading your post, i kept thinking of how voyager might have been a state of the art warship/starship being stolen by mirror universe thugs abnd then tell stories about their adventures. Any mirror universe star trek is okay by me since enterprise's mirror darkly.(the only enterprise episode worth seeing besides first flight) Todd

I kind of gave up on any future, quality Trek after Paramount turned down George Takai's idea for a series featuring Captain Sulu and the Excelsior. Maybe something entirely new is needed. Maybe we could borrow one of the premises of Dr. Who and have a group of 24th or 25th Century renegades, maybe fanatical fans of a futuristic sci-fi series, very similiar to Trekkers, who steal a starship and have all kinds of adventures breaking the Prime Directive and unintentionally causing chaos while trying to right wrongs throughout the galaxy. Maybe they could steal a new top secret experimental starship model with hyper-warp drive and new weapons systems, and a sarcastic main computer, say a cross between Hal-9000 and Cora from the original and only Galactica. The Federation could even send out an elite military unit similiar to the Navy Seals to retrieve the ship. It could have some light hearted moments. Or if a serious series is preferred, how about a new ship and crew involved in a Federation civil war, or at war with a newly discovered alien race. Just a few suggestions. Take Care.

Yes , I am always with fans who want to move the franchise foreward..100 years, that way no TOS or next genereation need to be there. except for some of those hollodeck episodes which we enjoy. If the kirk & spock early days film is made. It will fail worse than nemesis. I'm so tired of paramount making really stupid decisions. it's like a bad bad soap opera. Todd

Rand is right. If it was such a good show, it wouldnt have been canned. Whether you liked it is irrelevent. Not enough of you existed to count. Archer wasn't like Kirk, Kirk was actually competent, he didnt doom a whole race to death by witholding medical treatment. Kirk didnt steal some innocent ships warp drive and strand them in the most dangerous area of space. Archer is more like Janeway, one catastropic bad decision after another. And his hair looked stupid too. And by trying to make Archer more and more important (Saviour of Earth, Messiah of Vulcan, single-handedly founding the Federation) it makes it less and less likely we would have HEARD of such a vially important man in all the other Treks. The undeniable fact about ENTERPRISE is that it was first and foremost a stupid attempt to cash in on the success of the Star Wars Prequels hoping to snare the great unwashed. They were banking on the audience being sheep here as well, that we'd take anything with the Star Trek label. Then theyd make it pretty similar to the 24th century because they didnt think we were smart enough to notice. Thats why the transporters work quicker than Kirks and the ship is just a thinly veiled re-hash of another 24th Century ship. But its an established fact that there are dullards who would like ANYTHING no matter how bad it is. THAT is whatt the Beebs were counting on. Unfortunately enough people who mattered realized the show was garbage and left it. If you don't like a turd, its a turd. If you DO like a turd, it's still a turd.
