New terrible Trek series coming

[Temis the Vorta]

If our goal is terrible Trek, that's a very good start.

 

[bgdrewsif]

Sounds better than Enterprise.

The day that Seth McFarland creates a Star Trek series, is the day that Star Trek hits an all-time low.

This thread will never be relevant. Bring on the TITS!!

Ond one of the crew will have 3 (.Y.Y.), lol

Who is Seth McFarland?

Oh yeah, and what does he have to do with South Park?

Or, it could be the start of the comeback.

Yea, it has to hit rock bottom for it to come up again. what? Wait a minute, I've been told that there's something below rock bottom. He will what? Hell? Hot? What? Fire? Ice? What?

 

[wahwahkits]

Star Trek definitely went below rock bottom with 'These Are The Voyages'

 

[Captain Robert April]

Nah, it wasn't the worst Trek has done. Just the worst series finale, which does put it into a special category, but mainly for the bad aftertaste than for any real lasting damage done. After all, TATV can just be chalked up as a badly written holoprogram, with the only real continuity damage being limited to TNG's "Pegasus", and that can probably be finessed back into shape somehow, provided one had the interest in doing so.

Usually there is something right after terrible - great again. Darkest before the dawn. TNG to me was like James Cagney crying for mercy in the electric chair in 'Angels with Dirty Faces' to turn the young kids away from crime. I honestly thought Rodenberry was being deliberately bad to ween people off of Trek - and still do.

Yeah, right.

What about ENT?

Well, it did come after Voyager.

I think you should know, though, that when Dennis says he speaks for 'everybody here' he's just referring to himself.

Usually, that's true. This time. he does speak for the rest of us.

The fact is that everybody hasn't gotten here yet.

If they did, they'd likely have the same reaction. But I think the word 'yet' is unnecessary. Don't flatter yourself. Not everyone will read this thread.

You never know. Everyone might read it. I read it. But they may not all post a reply. Dennis doesn't speak for me. I HATE people putting words in my mouth. I can talk and think for myself, TYVM. I have to agree with Dukhat. "You sir, are insane." But I like insane. Xortex, your version of Trek had my imagination working more than any Trek novel ever has. This thread is the most fun I've had reading anything on the www (or the internet, if you prefer). All of you are a bit insane. But then again, so am I because here I am.
I hope this thread lives long and prospers.

See, this is why we have a problem.

You guys do realize that people from CBS do cruise this board? And if they are trying to find out what kind of Star Trek to make (based on our postings) they won't have a clue because there is too much horsing around.

And yes, the do listen to us because they know we are the one group who will definately spend our money buying products related to the series. And they want our money.

If you've got something that will help, by all means post it. If not, go make a hot cup of tea and watch a few re-runs, okay????

I don't think they do. ( Well the last part, maybe)

Re-booting TNG For TV?

 

[Temis the Vorta]

No! CBS honchos, listen to meeeeee! Make a Star Trek series for Showtime and make it all violent and sexy and grownup like Game of Thrones!!! If that works for HBO, why wouldn't something parallel work for you?

You guys are reading this, right? Beep once for "yes"...

I find it very, very unlikely that a) television producers are going to trawl TBBS for ideas and b) the reason why we don't have a new Trek series is that we're goofing off too much in this thread.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think it works that way. From what I've read about the topic, we don't have a Trek series on TV because a) the head of the network isn't into scifi and b) scifi's much more expensive to produce than shows that make a lot more money for the network.

It's really only reason b that you mentioned. Moonves has nothing against science fiction besides the cost and expected revenue of the shows. Convince Moonves that a sci fi show can be produced for the cost of CSI and generate as many viewers as CSI and it'll be on the air next fall.
