if discovery never existed and we got the TV/cinematic shared universe bad robot wanted, what would you want to see out of a kelvin timeline TV show? i have my own ideas, but i'd rather hear yours. pitch it.
Star Trek Towards The Future Set immediately after the events of Star Trek Beyond, this series follows the adventures of the U.S.S. Kelvin, NCC-0514-A, on a mission to support the Federation's colonization efforts in the Armens Expanse. Normally this would be a cakewalk assignment except for the presence of a xenophobic and belligerent species called the Sheliak that views all non-Sheliak as inferior and pests to be exterminated. Can the crew of the Kelvin, led by the capable but inexperienced Captain Janice Lester, keep the fragile peace between the Federation and the Sheliak while simultaneously trying to settle this still mostly untamed region of the final frontier?
because "star trek into the future" would be too close to "fly like an eagle". i like the deep cuts here, the sheliak are due for a reappearance in which they do not just look like beaded couch cushions.
Finnegan, PI Greg Grunberg stars as Jake Finnegan, disgraced former security chief of Yorktown, working as a private investigator on the station while also trying to clear his name.
you kid, but i'd be all about a yorktown spin-off. especially if lady keenser gets to finally make her appearance: http://morphologyfx.com/images/com_droppics/116/Deep-Seazer.jpg [Let's not hotlink images directly from the artist's website, shall we? Host it on web space belonging to you, pls. Converting this to a link. - M']
I would literally want to see Discovery. And I'd want the series to basically bookend itself with the Kelvin films so that that the first season ends with ST09, the Second Season ends with STID and the third or fourth season ends with STB. Each season finale would basically run in the background of the films, so that we would see Discovery having to rush home after learning that Vulcan was destroyed, or arriving at San Francisco to help clean up the aftermath of the Vengeance's crash (and/or deal with the fallout from the incursion on Kronos), or having to go and help defend Yorktown Starbase when Krall attacks it. LORCA: "Jim Kirk... I shoulda known. Do you ever just go somewhere without the entire place exploding all around you?" KIRK: "Very funny, Gabriel. Nice burn. Hey Chekov, how do you say 'burn' in Russian?" CHEKOV: "I believe it is 'Buran' Keptin." KIRK: "Riiiiight. Buran." LORCA: ""
I had had an idea for a story about Spock Prime as an amateur detective investigating crimes in the KT using his prime reality knowledge. "The Prime Detective".
With very minor tweaks (and one prosthetics change), DSC could be a Kelvinverse show and I’d be quite happy with that.
Still this: Deep Space Voyager the Next Generation An epic multi-POV, arc based series in the mode of Game of Thrones. Deep Space Nine- Formerly an orbital Cardassian ore processing station, the Bajoran Provisional Government has turned it over to Starfleet to serve as the base of operations for the defense and exploration of the Bajor Sector and beyond. In addition to Starfleet and the Bajoran Militia, there is a large civilian population on the station that includes Bajorans, Starfleet dependents and other foreign nationals. Commodore Benjamin Sisko- Starfleet Commander for the Bajoran Sector. Sisko is veteran of the Cardassian Wars. His wife, Jennifer and son, Jake live with him on DS9, but he has misgivings about them being so close to the Cardassian border. Lt. Commander Tuvok- Starfleet Intelligence. Tuvok oversees various on ongoing SI operations in the sector. Some of which might be above Sisko's "pay grade”. Commander Katherine Pulaski- Chief Medical Officer. A veteran officer with strong opinions, she's often a thorn in the side of Sisko and his unofficial conscience. She's also fond of needling Tuvok and has a low opinion of "spies”. Lt. Commander Data- Chief Operations Officer. An android. Data oversees keeping the station running. Given its blend of Federation, Cardassian and Bajoran technology it is a task that keeps Data busy around the clock. Not needing sleep, he is well suited for the task. As an android wishing to become more "human" Tuvok finds him fascinating. Colonel Kira Nerys- Bajoran Liaison Officer. Kira was a member of the Bajoran Resistance during the Cardassian Occupation. She is still wanted in the Cardassian Union for terrorism. She coordinates activities that involve Starfleet and the Bajoran Militia. Constable Odo- Chief of Law Enforcement for the station. A shapeshifter of unknown origin, Odo was raised on the station by Bajorans. He is strongly attached to the station and sees it as his only home. While nominally in charge of civilian law enforcement, Sisko likes to use Odo for Starfleet related operations as well. Quark- A Ferengi merchant who runs a casino on DS9's promenade. He is also heavily involved in various criminal activities in the sector. As such, he and Odo have an adversarial relationship. Garak- A Cardassian tailor who runs a shop on the promenade. He is the only Cardassian still on the station. His reasons for staying are currently a mystery. Though Tuvok certainly has a few ideas. Dukat - A Gul in the Cardassian military. Dukat is the former Prefect of Bajor and presided over the transition from the Cardassian Union to the Bajoran Provisional Government. Currently he is the military commander for the Cardassian territory adjacent to the Bajor Sector. He would very much like to be Prefect of Bajor again. The USS Enterprise- A Galaxy class vessel, the Enterprise is the newest and most advanced ship in Starfleet. Its primary mission is establishing diplomatic relations with the new worlds beyond Bajor. Its staff includes a large diplomatic team. Captain Jean-Luc Picard- The ship's Commanding Officer. Picard is a man weary of war. The prospect of commanding a mission of exploration and diplomacy has kept him Starfleet. He sees a new war on the horizon and is making every effort to change course. Lt. Commander Chakotay- The ship's Executive Officer. Chakotay's homeworld was on the frontlines of the Cardassian Wars and now lies in Cardassian territory. He's not happy being on a ship whose main objective is to "make nice" with the Cardassians. Ambassador Deanna Troi- The sector's Chief Diplomatic Officer, she divides her time between DS9 and the Enterprise. As a civilian, she's not always greeted with open arms by Starfleet. Her goals are often at odds with Commodore Sisko's, the sector's military commander. Picard is more openminded and she prefers the Enterprise to DS9 Lt. B'Elanna Torres- The ship's half Klingon Chief Engineering Officer. She served with Chakotay in the Cardassian Wars and shares his views on making peace with them. [/I] Lt. Commander Beverly Crusher - The ship's Chief Medical Officer. The widow of Jack Crusher, Picard's former XO and closest friend. Her son is in Starfleet and she worries about his future. Ensign Ro Laren- The ship's Flight Control Officer. Born in a Bajoran refugee camp she'd never been to Bajor before this assignment. She's at odds with native born Bajorans, who see the refugees as cowards who chose to flee rather than fight The USS Defiant- A Defiant class light cruiser. Its primary mission is defense of the station and the Bajor system. It serves as the flagship for the commander of DS9.The Defiant is a warship, part of the legacy of the Cardassian Wars. It’s crew is small and most are experienced combat officers. Commander William T. Riker- The Defiant's Commanding Officer. Riker comes across as a genial sort, quick with a joke and a twinkle in his eye. He's also known to have an eye for the ladies. In a combat situation, he's all business. A clever commander with a trick or two up his sleeve. Lt. Commander Elizabeth Shelby- The ship's Executive Officer. She's all business, all the time and isn't afraid to speak her mind if she thinks Riker (or anyone else) is wrong. She has exacting standards and if she had her way the crew would be drilling around the clock. Lt. Worf- The ship's tactical officer. On a ship the size of the Defiant, tactical includes flight control. He respects Riker and admires Shelby. EMH- Experimental Medical Hologram, a new technology that is currently being tested on the Defiant. It's inventor, Dr. Louis Zimmerman is on board overseeing the test. (or is he?) Lt. Ezri Tigan- Medical Officer. Tigan is Combat Field Medic and provides backup for the EMH. An unjoined Trill, who's not on the candidate list, she lives life to the fullest. Lt. Geordi La Forge- The ship's Chief Engineering Officer. Blinded in the Cardassian War, La Forge can interface with the ship's systems through his VISOR, a device that enables him to see. As such he feels and senses what the ship does. At times this seems to cut him off from his crewmates and he wonders if he is losing his humanity. Ensign Harry Kim- Operations Officer. A rookie right out of the academy he's in awe of these "heroes”. The USS Voyager- An Intrepid class scout ship. Its primary mission is science and exploration. Most of its crew are in the Science division and the rest is comprised of young officers, some just out of the Academy. Because of this, the ship has been nicknamed "The School Bus". Voyager spends most of its time away from the Bajor Sector in unexplored territory. Commander Kathryn Janeway- The ship's Commanding Officer. Formerly in the Science Division, this is Janeway's first command. For her the thrill of the "hunt" is what drives her. She needs to know what's behind the next nebula and beyond the farthest star. Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax- The ship's Executive Officer and Chief Science Officer. A joined Trill, Dax can call upon decades of experience from her previous hosts. Which is at odds with her youthful appearance. A close friend of Sisko in her previous host, he still calls her "The Old Man". A name that followed her to Voyager. Chief Petty Officer Miles O'Brien- The ship's Chief Engineer. The real old man aboard the ship, he has a decade on most of the crew. A veteran of the Cardassian Wars, He's one of Janeway's trusted advisors and a father figure to the younger crewmen. (Just don't tell him that). His wife, Keiko, lives on DS9. Lt. Julian Bashir- The ship's Chief Medical Officer. Young, inexperienced and on his first deep space mission, Bashir is out of his element and tries to cover it up with bravado. O'Brien has taken him under his wing. Ensign Wesley Crusher- Operations Officer. A gifted young man, Crusher completed Starfleet Academy in record time. He's the youngest member of the crew and very aware of this, as such he is over eager to prove himself. His mother is the CMO on the Enterprise. Lt. Tasha Yar- The Ship's Chief Security Officer. Growing up as an orphan on failed colony where every day was a fight for survival, Yar feels out of place on a ship full of scientists and overachievers. Lt. Tom Paris- Flight Control Officer. Paris is on board the Voyager as a favor to Admiral Owen Paris, Janeway's former CO. Paris has been a disciplinary problem (and embarrassment to his father) in the past. Voyager is his "last chance”.
For awhile I've thought a Kelvin show should be about the Excelsior. Everyone always wanted an Excelsior show and we know John Cho does TV.
This sounds like “Star Trek’s Agents of Starfleet”. I am happy with DSC just the way it is, but I wouldn’t mind an additional show, be it Prime or kelvin universe.
I'd have Discovery, just it's set in the future and Michael is Spock/Uhura's daughter. Sarek would be grandpa, but you'd see more of Spock instead of him and, obviously, a different dynamic. She'd actually have Vulcan in her, that would explain the similaries with Spock, but got raised to embrace both her Vulcan and human roots. Honestly, there are so many spin offs they could make using this timeline, with other ships and characters..set in past, present or future. I'd love to see a series featuring Starfleet academy, or Yorktown, or what's up with new Vulcan.
