They should go all-out and make an actual, literal space OPERA. 
Sy-Fy seeks new space opera
- Thread starter watermelony2k
- Start date
Yeah, Farscape is pretty much the definition of Space Opera.
How about we just bring Farscape back?
Works for me.
Something like Firefly would be great, too.
One thing the world does not need right now is another Star Trek tv series. Let's get on with the business of living, people!
I have a few things I could pitch to them but I doubt they'd listen to me, considering I have precisely zero showbiz experience.
I'll just keep writing books and hope one of them sells and gets turned into a movie or something.

DAMN IT! REVOLUTION!!!! 
It has a great premise and a promising cast. What is the hold up, you Skiffy bastards????
Just jump forward in time. Browder & Black should have no problem playing a tad older than they are; makeup will help if needed.
Klingon Opera! I'd watch it! But then I'm insane!!!

Me too! What's yours about?I don't suppose there's any avenue for civilians like us/me to pitch a space opera to them?

-STAR TREK- ENTERPRISE PHASE II
Are four years ago with ENTERPRISE.
I WOULD watch a series that was nothing but that!
But forget the Italian guff...it should be more like this.
Or like this...I love the instructions at the first part...but then it turns artsy farsty that any true Klingon warror would SLAY all involved.
You know it is rumored that Lucas has big news this weekend.The Star Wars live action series. Thankyouverymuch.
I'm pretty sure it'll beat all the ratings the network has ever gotten.
Sci-Fi or whatever they're calling themselves these days already had a "space opera" show and they canceled it at short notice despite it being the number one reason why they're still broadcasting.
I'm talking about Stargate SG-1. Never mind, though, I'm sure Eureka's doing well for you.

SyFy Exec - "This is a fantastic idea! Who can we get to play the Russell Crowe part?"
Producer - "No, that was Virtuosity."
SyFy Exec - "Even better!"
Corrected.
Don't ever do that to my posts, thank you.
If you ask me, they should ressurect the Farscape franchise. Lots of viewers there.
They should go straight to Rockne O'Bannon for something new.
Gods, no.
And I liked Star Trek: Enterprise. I'd just rather see some new producers go somewhere, you know, new - and that will never happen with Star Trek.
Well you know, on the topic of 'Trek, post Romulus Destruction would be a interesting "Wild west" era for 'Trek to get into in regards to the Original Timeline.
If I was going to go with something other than 'Trek-- and frankly, I think 'Trek on SyFy would be a iffy idea and execution at best-- I would say dig out some of old classics and base a series around them. Lensman, Foundation, etc.

The could always dust off the Pegasus sets from the BSG storage lockers and do that Lost in Space TV series or, maybe, a return to Space 1999 (of course 2099 now though).
I'm sorry to say this - being a Trek fan - but I think that a new series so soon after the success of the new movie is a horrible idea. We do not want to oversaturate the market again with another Trek series. Let's keep it a movie property for a little while and then in about I'd say at least three years (more like four) start a new TV show. Though I do agree a TV Series set in the Prime universe could be interesting, but it'd be confusing for people who aren't fans or may have been pulled in by the new film and only want that continuity.
