Trek Returning to TV in 2017!

[HIjol]

3000 dollar suits

Come on!

Believe it. I just got back from Saville Row. Believe it! $7600 for a bespoke handmade suit...unreal.

Gerrold was last relevant in 1975

Um, he won multiple awards, including the Hugo and Nebula, for his 1994 novelette "The Martian Child," which was made into a movie in 2007, starring John Cusack as a thinly-disguised version of Gerrold.

And don't we all want to be played by John Cusack in a movie?

Well, that's my goal, any way

Can't speak for anyone else.

<respectful snip>


I can say now that Cusack played me in "2012"

...check that, it was Woody Harrelson.

Just to clarify, when I say I want it set after the other shows that doesn't mean I want it to be a sequel to any of those shows. I just want it in the same universe. That's my only request. They can do whatever the hell else they want with it. I don't want it to be about the fallout from the Dominion War or the defeat of the Borg or anything of that sort. It should be able to stand on its own two feet without constantly running back to the old shows to prop it up. I'm not after Enterprise 2 or Voyager 2. Let it stand on its own like TNG and DS9 did.

I agree. I think it needs to be far enough into the future it can stand on it's own.

 

[Myko]

Yeah, okay - 5000 dollars. Better?

[Misfit Toy]

I meant Harve Bennett was a 60's burnt out degenerate. David Gerrold was just an all too clever kid.

Too late. Thanks for playing. Bye now!

Ah. Thanks for the LOL.

 

[Karzak]

When do we get some new stuff to talk about?

We've stunned the CBS executives.

You must remember that there's a cadre, nay, a generation of sharp but unblooded young TV execs who've never faced down an angry trekkie on the Internet.

They started reading our responses to the 5.99 streaming thing and...well, spilled hot lattes, ruined 3000 dollar suits, dogs and cats living together.

So, they've gone off for a week-long retreat at some spa, steeling themselves to announce that they've cast Marina Orlova to sit in Chekov's chair.

Come on!

Some of the suits worn by execs are more valuable than the programming ideas they come up with. That's just Science™.

 

[Squiggy]

Agree.

.... and stay away from the dystopian stuff...

Trek has never been dystopian.

...and I have said differently?

I dunno. You seem to be afraid of something that's not a risk. Might as well say "stay away from the aquatic musical spectacles of the early 50s".

I don't known. Ricardo Montalban was pretty good in one of those . . .

Montalban isn't around. Could we recast him?

If we're talking Busby Berkeley style choreography, I'm in.

 

[cooleddie74]

Benicio del Toro with blonde hair or I'm boycotting the whole dumb thing.

I have no idea what you are saying...

So who is the modern-day Esther Wiliams?

 

[Shaka Zulu]

"Marvel is better than DC because . . .."

They did a KISS comic book.

So did Archie Comic Publications: Archie Meets KISS

Benedict Cumberbatch.

 

[Squiggy]

Go on...

 

[cooleddie74]

This Bendaneck Cucumberpatch fellow won't last.

 

[Trekkin]

Anyone seen 'Fiesta'? Where it's a plot-point that Esther Williams is nearly identical to KHAAAN? Dennis theory makes so much sense!

 

[Myko]

I vote Deborah Ann Woll for Khan.
