Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Confirmed.

the anthology series was nixed because of the high costs for sets/cast and it's too frequent turnover I believe.
I doubt it was just that as both problems are easily solved. Sets can be redressed/repurposed, and indeed already have been. The Shenzhou's bridge was turned into the command centre on the Section 31 ship is season 2, Disco's bridge was a Starfleet bridge in Picard. As for the cast, American Horror Story holds onto many of the same actors and recasts them as different characters in each season, there's no reason why a Star Trek anthology series couldn't do likewise.

With how pedantic most of Trek fandom is and the often total refusal to accept real world reasons for production and stylistic changes, i can't see this idea as being anything other than total nightmare.
 
No it actually doesn't. Spock would either become overprotective, or look for ways around the "destiny." It would make more sense that Pike kept it to himself, as he was told it was for him alone.

I disagree. The potential for drama is too great. The show won't pass that up. Spock will probably find out through a mindmeld. Pike will make him swear not to do anything....Spock might even feign getting the memory erased....then at the end of the ep we see him starting a program called "Talos Project".

Ok, potential for drama and making sense are not necessarily the same thing. So, no I don't think it makes sense.
 
See my above post about "doing it right*"

*right being defined as "I can't describe it but I know it when I see it" AKA the Star Trek paradox.

Then, there is nothing that we can call as "right", according to your own statement. Because you can't even describe what "Right" that you're talking about. the best solution will "No more Star Trek", or "Make a good Star Trek that the studio thinks 'right'. and ignore your preference.

Yes, those are the best possible solutions. Because then they will make something entertaining and potentially fun.

Or, no more Star Trek.

Either is fine with me.
 
Except for Parks and Recreation, every show I've watched in the past decade-plus has been serialized. From the beginning. Every show you listed is from the '90s.

Oh, there are some series from the 2000s and also from the 2010s, that also had this idea of "going from procedural to serial". The last two examples, where they did this very well in my eyes, were "Agents of SHIELD" and, of course, the underrated "Person of Interest". Another example would be "Fringe", although, in my eyes, the story didn't work at the end...
 
That title has a bit of ring to it....can't quite place it.

Will we see a big laser cannon?

RAMA
 
Have the Negative-Nelly's given up on the 'Star Trek Is Sure to be Cancelled' rumors yet?
I've kinda lost track.
