Ridiculous.
Is Bryan Fuller right? A series in the Kirk era, but not on the E?

But then again..we are talking about Paramount. "GREED" is what will drive CBS/VIACOM..and if they think they can do a movie series and a TV show they will...they have before. Lets hope logic wins the day..but does it ever when considering TREK's past?? I am not that hopeful...

In fact..if TREK XI begins in the future I am willing to bet you right here and now NO MENTION of anything TREK centric (Berman Era) will be made at all....The movie will be here next year, we'll know then. But look at the hell Ellison is putting them through. Harve Bennette claims rights to some of the Star Trek past, and he has threatened legal action..you don't think Berman believes he has a piece of the pie?? Well..then if I were you I'd stop watching that TREK snuff film in your avatar and wake up..

that wouldn't be a prequel. it'd be a parallelquel, taking place in a parallel time period...
I would like to point out that "Kirk era" doesn't just mean when the Enterprise was on it's 5 year mission. It could mean any time that Kirk was alive. Therefore if the series really is a "Kirk era" series then there's about 5 or 6 different decades the series could be based in.
Nah....Too many continuity gremlins would prop up. Also I'm really not a fan of *gasp* TOS' antiquated looks. This movie may go a long way in allaying that feeling but I just don't want to see people dressing in what looks like, by today's standards, clowny campy attire.
I would like a TOS remake series. New versions of the best episodes among new stories with the intention of writing a new canon.
A new Khan, new Klingons and Roms. That would even enable them to remake TNG and DS9 one day, plus give us the ST ENT it should have been.
This is a one-time chance to do it. It would be better than some half-assed attempt at going with the old canon and failing.
The canon ppl (like me) could accept it as a new thing that doesn't even try to mess with the Star Trek canon because it would be outside of that original canon.

Maybe it should take place in those fateful hours when he left the Nexus with Picard. Seven years of stories in all pockets of the galaxy, each one taking place at the exact time the two captains defeat Soran.
By doing a Trek show in the 25th century, it's far enough after all that stuff that happened in "Berman Era" that you essentially have a blank slate while maintaining continuity and without actually rebooting anything.

DS9 writers always say that the Franchise has to get off of starships, but that dog don't hunt - hence, everyone since DS9 including and especially Abrams sets their stories aboard starships.
Considering the boffo box office of NEM and the ratings phenomena that were VOY and ENT, seems no Star Trek doggie is doing much hunting these days. I'm not counting on Abrams (who has done absolutely zilch that impresses or interests me thus far) to revive a necrotic franchise.
I don't think he meant that we couldn't, the century isn't important, just the fact that it takes place long enough after TNG that we can largely ignore most of the minor continuity issues. You can introduce all kinds of new ideas and not really worry about things that happened one or five hundred years ago. New characters, political and social landscapes, you can introduce major and universe-altering events into the intervening years, etc., all without upsetting the apple cart.
Uh-oh, not the dreaded C-word.
It's proof of how a 23rd century series could be great. The only downside to doing another prequel is everyone knows that certain things can't happen such as Earth being destroyed, the Federation falling, Vulcan seceeding, the Romulans doing a full out war with the Federation, etc. That's the weakness with prequels.

Star Trek series should be on HBO or Showtime and include sex and nudity and graphic violence. Plus one crew member should be a polygamist vampire who smokes pot. Another character could be a sex addicted mobster.
it is not allowed to have a tv series featuring the same characters on a movie unless the tv show came first. that's just how it goes. so no chance whatsoever of a kirk/enterprise show.
if the movie does well, it will either be the kirk era of the reboot or future of it.
A snuff film is one in which one of the actors is killed for real on camera.
I see nothing of that nature in his avatar, its actual content aside.
Would one of the characters from "A Piece of the Action" do?
How DO you spell "Ox-mix" anyway?
