The Inevitable TOS Reboot

I don't know I don't feel like I would enjoy an anime style treatment of Star Trek. I mean JMS' "Crusade" was effectively a remake of "Space Battleship Yamato", so who knows what space-based anime he'd draw from to redo TOS?

 

I haven't clicked on that yet, but some ongoing TOS storylines would be pretty fun IMO; I'd love to see a narrative running through, say, Little Girls, I Mudd and Return to Tomorrow concerning androids, or that City created the Mirror Universe.... so a Preservers storyline to explain (Miri, Omega Glory, Bread and Circuses, Paradise Syndrome, etc) would be a fun arc to explore.

 

I like the Preservers idea. Was that term used in TOS? I recall an episode of TNG that covered it. Even a show based on a science ship researching the Preservers or the planets they visited would be cool.

 

Wasn't it a Preservers obelisk in Paradise Syndrome?

 

The term was used to TOS, but not TNG.

 

William Shatner's novels covered them in detail. It explained the duplicate Earths and alternate universes of Trek, all of which were Preserver experiements. And of course the Mirror Universe was the control universe, and ours the one heavily tampered with.

 

I love the idea of a control universe, but the mirror universe being the result of humanity left to its own devices is a pretty depressing idea.

 

Pretty accurate too. I think the Mirror realm had some Dark Side elements to it...more than just the nearest alternate universe over

 

Tonight, we are a giant step closer to a TOS series reboot:

 

I see nothing.

 

Indeed.

I think Gene's words about someone bringing their own spin to Trek were never more true.

 

Nice hair.

 

He's too old. They should set it after TMP.
The ship:

The uniforms:

I'd watch that.

 

He's playing Kirk not himself. He can pass for late twenties.

Fanfic is down the hall to the left.

 

How old does he look?

 

The last thing they need is more fucking uniforms.

 

At least 30. By the time SNW ends he might look older.

 

Human aging is weird then. I'm late 30s and get called 50. I would peg this actor at 27 to maybe 30.

 

The inevitable TOS reboot will have new uniforms. Count on it. Starfleet Academy, new uniforms. Section 31, new uniforms. Picard Season 3, new uniforms.
