Spoilers Continuation of 25th Century Trek?

[Unimatrix Q]

The thing about this is that it's less tied to a time period and more to choices made by the creators. TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT, and various Streaming Trek shows have all had varying amounts of "frontier-eque" vibes. I think people go back to TOS as having the most because, well, it probably did, mostly thanks to the fact that the overall universe/canon/whatever weren't as established (hence a lot of inconsistencies across those 3 seasons) so it feels different. By S7 of TNG a lot more of the universe was established and DS9 really turned the Federation/Alpha Quadrant in to a much more "real" place, so we approach the franchise that way now. SNW might take place chronologically before Captain JTK but the creators and audiences are so much more aware/knowledgable about the canonical universe.

This is actually one of the reasons I like some of the retcons/changes SNW makes. Scary XenoGorn are new and cool and add a new, very intense dimension, for example.

Yeah, but i think it's more about atmosphere and tone than the lore. All the shows since S2 never got it right imho.

One of my biggest issues with Disco and SNW is that their version of the 23rd century completely loses the frontier aspect of TOS. Too much real-time communication, too-fast travel, recurring characters casually dropping in.

SNW has the pre-TOS vibe going pretty good. They even had pirates!

Spoiler: Spoilers for too many 'World Ending Threats' in Star Trek

The UFP is basically out in the boonies / suburbs.

Spoiler: UFP Territory relative to the 100,000 ly Thin Disk Diameter/Square Planar Area

UFP Territory covers < ½ of a % of the total 2D Planar Area along the Thin Disk.



It's TINY in terms of 2D Planar Galactic Real-Estate since the 100,000 ly Diameter of the Milky Way only really applied to the "Thin Disk" section of the Milky Way galaxy.

Spoiler: Thin Disk structure of the Milkway Galaxy from Side Perspective. (NOTE: NOT to Scale!)

This is how big the major structures of our "Milky Way Galaxy" seems to be from my basic research over the internet.

Spoiler: Size of of our Milky Way Galaxy's larger Natural Galactic Structures.

We still have ALOT of the Milky Way Galaxy to explore, not just on a 2D planar level, but also in 3D. Remember in space, we can go Up/Dn on the Z-axis to other Star Systems.

If you think the Final Frontier isn't big enough, here's all our nearest neighbor Galaxies

Spoiler: Here's our Local Galaxy Map and our nearest Galaxies.

We have ALOT of neighboring Galaxies just near by.

Spoiler: Laniakea - Our home Supercluster

We are part of a MUCH larger SuperCluster of Galaxies.

That's just "Space Alone".

We're not counting Time-Travel, Parallel Universe, other Dimensions.

Those all need to be explored as well.

Parallel universes, other Dimensions...etc. Think Star Trek meets the X-files.

Those are just one of many domains to explore.

Thinking back, the X-Files had a remarkable diversity of episodes, even though the setting was restricted to modern day earth. If something similar was applied to Star Trek, the diversity, and potential, would rival Dr. Who.

We can even have a small StarShip that is "Bigger on the Inside" if we go with a X-Files type division.

In the 31st century shows yes, the 31st Century Discovery refit is bigger on the inside.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

As is the travel pod from ENT's "Future Tense".

To answer the OP: yeah, I definitely want a follow up after Picard. I'd rather have that than a DSC spin off tbh. TNG/DS9 has most of the interesting alien races and I want to see the fallout of the Dominion War 25 years later

 

[Robert_T_April]

A Titan/7of9 show seems to be the most popular idea. A Fenris Rangers show has been brought up by quite a few of us. Those 2 options could be a single show with the Titan spending a lot of time near the old Romulan NZ, if they went that route.

Wasn't the Titan rechristened?

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Wasn't the Titan rechristened?

Sure was. A month after I posted that

Same idea applies if they do Star Trek: Legacy instead of Titans Of Starfleet or somesuch.

 

[Mudd]

Wasn't the Titan rechristened?

Wasn't that in some variant timeline caused by Picard fucking around with some Soong in the 21st century?

 

[F. King Daniel]

Fans be like, "Omg Picard reached #9 in the Neilsen ratings make more of it hash-tag Legacy!" but nobody says anything when SNW comes in at #7.

Between PIC and SNW, only one of those shows is over, so…

Because SNW is no TNG reunion. We all know this.

I guess familiarity is a selling point

 

[fireproof78]

I guess familiarity is a selling point

I mean, ultimately there is a psychological component to it, that while I don't share, I can at least slowly grasp.

People want people they know, familiarity and predictability breeds a certain level of trust and safety, possibly ones that people haven't felt before.

Also Nemesis was a subpar way to end the TNG era so maybe seeing a better ending was a selling point? Idk

 

[Mudd]

Only if it's updated in the same fashion that SNW has updated TOS.

 

[MikHutch]

Updated?
