Bringing characters from a show that was cancelled? When has Star Trek ever done that? :rolleyes:
Last time I checked he had just spent 5 years starring in NCIS, I can't imagine he's hard up for cash. Maybe he liked the idea and wants to explore one of the characters that has defined his...
Sure, I bet the new owners of Paramount are just chomping at the bit to bring back characters from a show that was considered a failure and was prematurely cancelled after four seasons of having no clue where the show was supposed to be going, and killed off the most popular character at the end.
She was a mid tier character. Not great, not terrible. Perfectly cromulent. Her personal views that got her sacked were pretty damn bad, the ignorant train sailed when she doubled down on them. Anyone that thinks being right wing is comparible to a jewish person during the holocaust has some...
...not been rectified. Despite some Enterprise love from LD (T'Pol!) and SNW ("Those Old Scientists."
Not saying their have not been some cancellations and characters I thought could have been done better (Kirk's death in Generations, Laris, no Kelvin wrap up), but I don't think the DS9, VOY...
I don't think either of those decisions were based on the charges against Gaiman. I think Netflix were pretty clear we were only gonna get two seasons of Sandman.
Its going to continue with a continuation of the tos years. We all know that. Something i dont want. The franchise can't stop looking at the TOS crew.
Us classic trekker/trekkies know how it works..
You do know SNW has been cancelled right? 6 eps for S5 and then done. Can't you take the fucking win and leave the rest of us alone? All your complaining doesn't mean more Trek. It means LESS.
You're pretty much already saying what I was thinking. The Gamble possession was the strongest part of the story, and could have carried an episode by itself. Trek has never done an alien possession quite like this one, to the best of my recollection. Not being able to tell if the person you're...
Yes! Also true.
This was my exact complaint last week. The murder mystery and the 60's Trek homage were two good ideas that, as presented, cannibalized and diminished each other. They couldn't fit it all in a single episode.
On a similar note:
I think recently SNW does too many different sci-fi concepts at the same time.
Like EITHER do "energy beings possessing humans" OR do "parallel reality shifting dungeons".
If you do both at the same time, they somehow cancel each other out.
Like back in the day, the X-files...
The remake "S.W.A.T." seems to be successful.
Cancelled after eight seasons, cancellation reversed, came back for a ninth season, getting a spin off, and finally cancelled a second time (no second reversal yet).
I agree. It was a bold promise, but I can't ignore that there are fans whose idea of Trek is different. I doubt there is a magical formula thst allows each series, each story to be universally appealing. Ideally, they should have launched three new series, not cancel or wind down all of them...
As Therin says, it's probably a trial balloon and there will be more if it does well, It's actually the second Secret Hideout-era audio production, after Picard: No Man's Land, though that was from Simon & Schuster Audio.
There have been a lot of ideas for potential TV series that got cancelled...
As @UssGlenn said. :)
I quoted that article to illustrate that demographics were not some new thing that revealed an ideal audience after NBC had cancelled Trek (as the well-worn and oft-repeated Roddenberry anecdote went). The show's demographics were well understood while it was running on...
Destroying the molds probably makes the chances "slim to none" - the market was going to be limited by having done the model once before, that demand would be more along the lines of another limited run versus remaking the molds, the latter is probably cost prohibitive compared against the...
