Very very much agreed, but if there's ever a day when production begins on "Crisis on Infinite Federations", I'll be the first in line!
+1
Just get the broad strokes right and I'm happy. I think that Abrams got the broad strokes right.
Based on what I'm hearing about the new Trek film, it being helmed by a Fast and the Furious guy, and Paramount's desire to get the Guardians of the Galaxy demographic, I'd say there won't be any prime continuity continuation in theaters.
TV is where more cerebral fare is having its golden age, and so I think if and when CBS decides to do another Trek show, they might decide to link it up with prime continuity, but aside from carrying over the most superficial elements (like LCARS) I would expect such a show to come across differently enough that people would not be prejudiced against it due to any residual Berman-hate. So imagine something Battlestar Galactica-like in aspiring to elevate the source material, but through a continuation and not a reboot.
I don't think a decision like that starts in a boardroom, either. I think it would take someone with clout who has decided to champion this, and nobody's out there plugging for it right now. I think it would sell itself mostly based on that person's clout, like someone of the stature of a Chris Nolan.

It's being helmed by a successful up and coming director. What is the "GotG"demographic? People who spend money to go to movies? Yeah, I see why Paramount would want that.
Exactly so.
I can imagine this coming to pass, because why would the suits care? I suppose another time line could appear, for example, if the suits demanded a Trek more like the Guardians of the Galaxy.
But if we never go back to the Prime Universe how are we ever going to see if Harry Kim and Ezri Dax are able to captain a Yaeger-class starship together!
And all this time I thought Star Trek was about looking to the future, not looking to the past.
I'm sure the novels will tell that tale someday!
Last I checked, the 23rd century is the future. But arithmetic isn't my strong point...
Just for the record, you can bet good money that primary reason Paramount execs would be clamoring for a GoTG style film is that GoTG made a tremendous amount of money.
Shoot, Rodenberry himself arguably rebooted Star Trek twice, with TMP and TNG.
Nicely put. Star Trek is more than just an encyclopedia of fannish trivia. It's a format for telling a wide range of fascinating stories for all audiences.
I just find it hilarious that Star Trek fandom is so nostalgic and backwards looking.
"I hate the reboot that has given Star Trek a newer and younger audience. Reboot it back to something I like."
The TNG era is as dead as the Shatner/Nimoy TOS era was in the mid-nineties. It seems weird so many people want to revive a zombified corpse rather than witness an evolution.
Star Trek is dead. Long live Star Trek.
What lackluster reviews?!? I really wish these inaccurate statements would go away...
Critics rated it a 7.6/10 and audiences rated it a 4.2/5 on 307,000+ ratings.
Personally, I am hoping they never return to the Prime timeline. It had its day and that day is over (and I can watch that day anytime I like). Some folks don't like Star Trek Into Darkness and the Abrams films in general. Which is normal. Nothing is universally loved. But I don't really see how the numbers quantify it as anything other than a critical success.
Its day isn't over. Many fans want to see more stories in the Star Trek Universe not just the NuStar NuTrek Universe. I agree with Dar I really hope when the 3rd movie is made it will be its last and then we may get to see a return to the classic trek universe. The last movie while it got good reviews didn't review as well as the first and many fans did not like it as much. It also made less money. The third movie will most likely continue the down trend as is the norm for sequels.
A zombified corpse that NuTrek had to feed off of. SOrry but the original is far superior then the drivel Abrams and company have given us. They took out the smart writing and drama and put in pure action. Big deal whats so revolutionary about making Star Trek a poor copy of Star Wars?
Yeah and most of the fans voting on STID are young fans that have never seen the original TWOK. Do you really think STID is superior to TWOK?
