It's fiction. Nothing is finite.
What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?
- Thread starter Amasov
- Start date
Do you plan on moving the events of "First Contact" Day?
Change how we first met the Vulcans or how the Federation is formed?
That seems like alot of unnecessary Storyline Re-treading and World Re-Building that nobody is asking for.
Since the date isn't as important as the event, why not? Again, it's fiction not history.
Ok, but you would cause alot of Trek Nerds to become very angry that you're doing this.
It's not worth the trouble to re-tread old material.
Just move onto the future of Trek and stop covering old material like this.
When aren't Trekkies mad about something?
IT's literally what Trek is doing right now.
Fans are constantly angry. I honestly don't know if many fans know how to not be angry.
I'm mad right now at this thread. And it knows good and well what it did.
Not seeing the downside.
If these "nerds" think the dates are more important than the stories and themes, then it's my unpopular opinion that they're doing it wrong. Star Trek isn't a trivia contest or a history quiz.
Because it makes some nerds uncomfortable? SNW has proven there is plenty of life left in the 23rd Century.
The 23rd Century is the future.
Actually, Space Seed never mentions a number.
SPOCK: No such vessel listed. Records of that period are fragmentary, however. The mid=1990s was the era of your last so-called World War.
MCCOY: The Eugenics Wars.
WWIII is not explicitly stated. The Eugenics Wars is/are only called the last of the World Wars. Could be III, could be V.
Of course, other episodes do not refer to any World Wars past 3. It's easy and understandable to connect the one to the other. But this is the Internet so we don't go for easy and understandable.
When it's covering material that is "Post TNG".
They do, you just have to satisfy the majority of them.
But it covers the era, immediately right before TOS.
I'm talking post Nemesis time frame.
ST:Legacy era, where it's the start of the 25th century.
Nah. It's mixed Bag. Some people hate PRO, LDS and PIC.
Just make a good product. Screw "the majority."
So? What difference does that make?
There is no "ST: Legacy" era or otherwise. Make good product set in what ever era works best.
Right now that's the LD/PRO/PIC Era (2381-2402).
That sucks to be them, I'm enjoying all of them.
And that's how you fail to hit the mark.
You do need to worry about "the majority".
It makes ALOT of difference to the fans of that era of Trek.
It's easier to move forward than to move backwards in terms of what part of the timeline you want to cover.
You don't like Terry Matala's proposal for "ST:Legacy"?
I'm fan of PRO and LDS, myself. Parts of PIC as well.
Sounds like something someone who "toes the company line" would say.
As a fan of TOS and someone who has watched it from pretty much the beginning I'll have to disagree with that broad generalization.
I find SNW much more satisfying as fiction and Star Trek, than PIC.
Star Trek: Nepo Baby? Hard pass.
I haven't seen it in my fan experience. There's always a fan mad about something.
No, you need to worry about making an entertaining product. That's the whole point of the framework of "action/adventure" in STAR TREK and TOS original series bible. Entertain first. If you do that, then the majority will find it entertaining before moving on.
Indeed. SNW takes the best parts of "The Cage", mainly "Pike" and his challenges, and weaves it in to the TOS era familiar elements while still feeling more modern and a reasonable projection of our future. As far as tight rope walks go, it does that pretty well.
Blame Amasov. He started it.
Good!
Funny, I want more Trek TV shows to get produced, you don't make them w/o getting results from your existing series and making hits.Sounds like something someone who "toes the company line" would say.
You weren't part of the fanbase who were complaining about the setting of SNW.
As much as I enjoy the TOS era, I'm still a TNG era guy, so I like that time frame of the late 24th / early 25th century more.
He's "Our Nepo Baby". Terry Matalas is a Trekkie, just like us.
I have no issue with this, I LOVE ST:SNW.
That's a can of Worms I'm willing to support.
Don't worry about the whiny fans who complain.
You're never going to satisfy everybody, just do the best you can and try to get as many people satisfied as possible.
What about the TNG series bible? It gave rise to one of the most popular eras of Star Trek, ever.
