Poll Favorite Star Trek that didn't happen?

[Lord Garth]

What's your favorite Star Trek film or series that didn't happen? Or rather, the one you most would've wanted to see?

I think I covered all the bases, but feel free to add another one in too.

 

[Henoch]

I voted for projects that would have spanned the gap between TOS and the TOS movies and TNG. TAS just didn't do it for me. Endless TOS syndication made me a die hard fan, though.

The Lions of the Night, inexplicably unlisted, was our last great shot at continuing the tales of the Original Series crew (thru Captain Sulu and his crew, post-movie era), expanding back into the realm of animation with CGI, and also tying-in to the animated series by featuring the Kzinti as villains.

The Enterprise cancellation put all of Star Trek on hiatus for a time, but I feel that it could have been prevented with a well-written animated film that could lay the groundwork for future animated films and series and given us a much more expanded field of works in time for the fortieth anniversary.

 

[Qonundrum]

There were four options of interest that I voted on, but ironically enough the series that would have sprung from "Assignment: Earth" actually would have been enjoyable at one time in my life. A recent rewatch of " A: E" had me cringing frequently - Robert Lansing could only do so much with his big magic pen* and that sappy Mod Squad parody script.

Phase II, JMS, and Singer were the other big choices.


* which seems so beneath Roddenberry's own standards, it's amazing

Any of the unmade Kelvin Timeline Star Trek movies (some of those concepts are fucking loopy, like the one that ends on a cliffhanger with Khan and the Klingons taking over Starfleet HQ on Earth, or Kirk and Spock meeting their older Kelvinverse selves played by Shatner and Nimoy) are top spot for me.

Then the 1991 Starfleet Academy movie, because I love the idea of an X-Men: First Class semi-reboot way back when. And the idea of Young Kirk, Mullet Spock, Cowboy McCoy and Scotty flying an older USS Enterprise to save the day sounds awesome.

Planet of the Titans would likely have been another TMP, a little crusty but epic in scale would have been worth seeing.

 

[The Keller Machine]

Star Trek V with Sean Connery would have been interesting. The first Vulcan with a Scottish accent?

 

[Kilana2]

Assignment - Earth with Gary Seven and Roberta Lincoln. I loved the novels with them.

 

[BillJ]

Star Trek II, the "Phase" was added later on to keep it from being confuses with TWoK.

I really can't believe CBS All-Access hasn't jumped all over Assignment: Earth. I guess there would be issues with rights, as Art Wallace was one of the writers on the episode, and possible conflict with Doctor Who's sonic screwdriver.

 

[Mysterion]

The 70's Phase II series, the JMS reboot proposal, the Tarantino movie, and the book Unseen Frontier that was cancelled.

star trek , the begining.. if I had to pick one.. The Romulan War really does need a movie or series.. sad that Enterprise didn't get the chance to lead up to it! and no offence to the book writters.. but the book version of the war.. sucked..

There is an explanation. I was the one who put together the poll options and I never heard of it until now. I knew something would slip through the cracks, so that's why I have "Other".

But now that I look it up, that's something I would've liked to have seen!

 

[Sakonna]

I suppose you might also include the hoped-for "Enterprise" seasons 5 - 7 -- the show was finally getting good, and reaching the most interesting and worthwhile part of it's premise, the founding of the Federation.

I voted for Kelvin Trek #4 -- I was excited for more in that world with that cast.

 

[Orphalesion]

The Animated Series and Star Trek:Federation, I thought those two would have had potential.

Also anything that doesn't just reboot a crew we have already seen, so sick of that.

I was seriously debating whether or not to include it, but I was looking at films and series as a whole.

Maybe I should've made an exception in this case.

 

[Lord Garth]

UPDATE: I've now included ENT S5-S7 as an option. So, if anyone wants to vote for it, feel free.

 

[Viper78]

I went for Enterprise S5-S7.

I would have love to have seen the refit NX-01 during the Romulan war.

 

[AresB]

I'd also have liked to see ENT finish its run properly. I enjoyed it, even if it often felt like an episodic and formulaic TNG variant with the occasional Temporal Cold War or Xindi story mixed in.

A Captain Sulu series would have been great as well, too bad it didn't happen. Though, made in the Berman era, it would probably have been an episodic and formulaic TNG variant with the occasional "Klingons learning to get along" or TOS nostalgia story mixed in.

 

[ThreeEdgedSword]

I didn't know that JMS was planning a Reboot, where can I find infos about this?

 

[Greg Cox]

"Assignment: Earth, " of course.

 

[Tim Thomason]

"Assignment: Earth, " of course.

If you're interested, there's some books by... wait, no, nevermind.
