Trek 90210
- Thread starter Nomad V
- Start date
I've thought about this over and over again, and though I wouldn't go the 90210, I would like something similar to occur. More like a day-in-the-life in the trek-verse on a planet or something, rather than always on a mission.
I'd like to see more about local customs, culture, social climates between species, colloquialisms, accents between the species and local dialects, local foods, hang out spots... the list can go on, and I've constantly wondered about these things!
30-year old actors playing teenagers?
Nah. They're 30-year olds and people in late 20s playing people in mid and late 20s, and 30-year olds playing 30-year olds, and a teenager playing a teenager.
For something much closer to 90210, look to the original series: a 30-year old actor playing a kid, cast because he was a lookalike of a popular boy band singer, and supposed to attract a teenage girls audience.
To follow in the foosteps of TOS and be more like 90210, ST09 should have had Chekov played by a 30-year old actor who looks like a member of Tokyo Hotel or Jonas Brothers. Any ideas?

Bashing Star Trek (2009) by comparing it to 90210; what novel idea!
Apparently, some people are just too shocked that there is a Star Trek movie whose main stars are under 50.
Yeah I just don't get the age complaints. Yeah the new actors look a bit younger than the original actors on TOS did, but that doesn't mean they look like a bunch of teenagers.
John Cho is 37?!?! 
Maybe we could put the guys in miniskirts too.
Let us explore the idea. Still on the Enterprise, but it's more of a drama, a little comedy from time to time, maybe a single goofy officer (think Kramer). Landing partys and new civilizations. Not government crisis and season long wars.
There are still adventures and battles, but they're in the background, the B stories. The A stories are people and charactor arcs.
Or not.

Calling something 90210 is just an easy way to attack something using something else as a frame of reference even though you don't know anything about that something else.
Everyone talks about 90210 on this forum like it was some kind of hip, sexy show, but as I recall it was actually pretty tame and full of heavy-handed moralising and "very special episodes" (come to think of it, maybe it was kind of like Trek after all...)

You know it would be cool to see teenagers and people in their early 20's playing in a new Trek TV show say on Mars or some new planet doing a hip sci-fi/soap opera mix in some of the characters going to Starfleet Academy and you might have a hit. If they did it before XII came out and they didn't want to risk live action yet they could do CG animation and on Cartoon Network to attract a younger audience as well, sci-fi can be appealing to a broad audience when done right.
We've got no problem with a young crew as long as they behave like a young and inexperienced crew should behave. So when they're more experienced (despite never having graduated from Starfleet Academy) than the older officers we start having questions.

Star Trek could easily become Twilight, instead of Vampires & Werewolves...Vulcans & Klingons.
I hoped for a soap opera type of show, really, lol. I don't mean the same kind of content, but the same quality and number of episodes. I don't care about quality that much, just give me this many episodes to wade through: Taken from wikipedia - Guiding Light - No. of episodes: 15,762.
Something to think about, lol.
