When I was in the mix, I always thought a Star Trek series should follow Captain Sulu. Tie the universes together through his adventures. Would still like to see that. Cmon Alex!

So Cho Sulu and the JJsior cross over into the primeverse?

It could still work except maybe for the fact that Cho is going to be doing the live-action Cowboy Bebop series. But I'm not sure anything is needed to tie the universes together, although it could be fun to see an alternate Excelsior crew interacting with the Strange New Worlds Enterprise crew and have Sulu meet a different version of Spock from what he's used to.

Orci should spearhead it and write it and produce it. They were writing partners and I'm sure Kurtzman could pull some strings to get Orci on board to write some DISCO and Strange eps and then branch off to Sulu.

There's a reason they aren't partners anymore..........Orci hasn't done much at all that I know of for 5 or 6 years.

I'd watch a John Cho Sulu series... but what can it offer that Strange New Worlds, Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks or the half dozen other shows coming soon don't?

Other than John Cho, of course.

A show set in the monster maroon era, so people can bitch about continuity in all eras. First order of business, ditching the monster maroons!!!!

But that can be done in the Picard on the Stargazer prequel.

If converging two universes together is the end goal, then it should be the next movie really. Too good to waste on simply using as an excuse for Cho and Takei to share a scene.

You go with a huge cast crisscrossing the franchise, facing a common threat able to be in several different times and places at once.

So either Q, or...

Future Guy essentially quits making nuisance phone calls throughout the Enterprise era, gets actual time-travel ability and becomes more of a serious threat.

I don't see that happening.

Nimoy already "tied the universes together"

I don’t think anyone cares what Orci thinks at this point.

 

[Timby]

Yeah, Orci has basically become persona non grata in Hollywood after he got himself fired from Star Trek 3 and Matador absolutely bombed. It's kind of remarkable how quickly his star fell, while Kurtzman--who is arguably of similarly limited talent--is basically the god king of Star Trek on television at the moment. Just goes to show how far personality goes.

But that can be done in the Picard on the Stargazer prequel.

The only thing worse than the monster maroons is the monster maroons sans a shirt.

I don't see why it should be.

 

[Odo]

I don't need them to tie the universes together - but I really like Cho as Sulu, and would love to see him in a Captain Sulu show.

 

[Saul]

I'd watch a George Takei Sulu series.

The maroons are my favourite uniforms. Would be great to see them again.

 

[captainkirk]

Has anyone ever designed hypothetical Kelvin-timeline versions of the maroons?

 

[Tomalak]

I'd watch a George Takei Sulu series.

Might be pushing it a bit at 83. But hey, he's only got three years on Sir Patrick.

 

[GeorgeKirk]

I'd watch a George Takei Sulu series.

I used to feel that way, too, back in the early-to-mid 90s when Takei was lobbying for a Captain Sulu show. Then he did that Voyager 2-parter and it was pretty obvious that George Takei doesn't have the acting chops to carry a series.
