What writers would you want for new trek series?

[RandyS]

Stephen Baxter.

No more Ron Moore, please.

Agreed on both counts.

 

[kirk55555]

Literally anyone but Kurtzman, Orci, and Braga. As for who I'd want specifically, Ron Moore (as long as it wasn't in his BSG style) would be cool, and Joss Whedon would be awesome.

 

[Maurice]

Noel Coward.

...
Dennis P. Bailey

Who?

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

Kor

Yes, which was rather the point. Dennis P. Bailey will likely never write another script.

 

[stardream]

Nicole Perlman

 

[Mudd]

Putman, not Putnam.

If they're looking for pastiche I'm waiting by the phone. I think they'll do better to go for something more original.

 

[Kelso]

Charlie Brooker

Andy Weir

Steven Moffat

 

[Mudd]

Russell P Davies, now that you mention it.

 

[The Wormhole]

The writing staff of TNT's The Last Ship, they're already writing one of the best Trek shows never made.

 

[Nerys Myk]

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

If he doesn't do the dialog it might be okay.

 

[Tim Walker]

Science fiction writers were brought in to write for early TOS.

In fact, TOS might be regarded as an early example of a shared universe.

In what way? A lot of TV shows had multiple writers before Star Trek.

I kind of think *the universe* would be an even earlier example of a shared universe.

 

[Greg Cox]

Science fiction writers were brought in to write for early TOS..

Many of whom had already written for The Twilight Zone.

A shame we can't simply poach from TZ this time around.

But one can hope.

They can poach from the new Amazing Stories writers. I'm sure Bryan Fuller would be okay with that.
