What writers would you want to see for the new trek series?

Ron Moore?

 

[BillJ]

Stephen Baxter.

No more Ron Moore, please.

 

[alexbigman]

Stephen Baxter.

No more Ron Moore, please.

how about other tv/film writers?

 

[BillJ]

Orci, Lindleof, Bryan Fuller.

 

[Greg Cox]

Michael Taylor?

Maybe some of the writers from Continuum, who are presumably up for grabs now.

 

[T'Girl]

Ron Moore.

 

[Mudd]

Joss Whedon.

 

[Kor]

Bring in some literary science fiction writers, and also make good use of established television writers. Here are some ideas:

Larry Niven
Harlan Ellison
Ursula K. Le Guin
Chris Carter
Joss Whedon
Vince Gilligan
Dennis P. Bailey

[BillJ]

Dennis P. Bailey

Suck up!

 

[ManOnTheWave]

Orci, Lindleof, Bryan Fuller.

Yes.

Joss Whedon.

More than anything.

No Ron Moore.

 

[Bad Thoughts]

Considering his work rescuing Enterprise: Manny Coto.

 

[Maurice]

...
Dennis P. Bailey

Who?

 

[Greg Cox]

Didn't Neil Gaiman script a DOCTOR WHO ep or two?

Wonder if he has any interest in STAR TREK?

Or you could go really crazy and try to get Stephen King to do an episode just for fun.

(Don't laugh! If Robert Bloch and Richard Matheson could write for STAR TREK, why not Stephen King?)

Another idea: Get Norman Spinrad to do a sequel/reboot to "The Doomsday Machine." Norman is still around and writing and living in Paris last I heard . . . .

I'd suggest Harlan Ellison, but that would be opening a completely different can of worms!

I hope Neil Gaiman is a better writher than a singer....

I'd like to see a J Michael Straczynski penned episode.

Dennis P. Bailey

Who?

The P stands for Putnam. There's an interesting anecdote behind that, too.

[TheSeeker]

Considering his work rescuing Enterprise: Manny Coto.

I liked what he did, but he didn't exactly rescue the show.

 

[RAMA]

Stephen Baxter.

No more Ron Moore, please.

Well Hells yes. He almost wrote a script for Voyager. Braga even inspired one of his novels.

 

[USS Triumphant]

I'd like to see a J Michael Straczynski penned episode.

Me, too. And one by Keith R.A. DeCandido, one by Greg Cox, and one by David Mack, too.

Other suggestions:
Diane Duane
Peter Morwood
Margaret Wander Bonanno
Arthur Byron Cover
David Weber
Manny Coto
Joss Whedon
Lawrence Kasdan
David E. Kelley
