A Show Set In The 25th Century

The next series should take place in the 25th Century and feature a captain who was once a late 1980s astronaut that got frozen, a spunky female first officer, and their robotic sidekick who goes "bidda bidda" or whatever. The uniforms must be made out of an unflattering white spandex. In the second season, they should introduce some alien birdman, the last of his race.

That would make a pretty awesome show. Why hasn't anyone done that before?
Thom Christopher! :drool:

They might also want to make the woman act subordinate to the man even though she significantly out-ranks him (because shes a woman I assume), and in the second season dye her hair brunette and look hotter.

Oh, and it should be comically bad as well.

I remember Thom Christopher! They called him "Hawk" because of that ginormous beak he had in the center of his face...
 
The only way that a new Trek show will be successful is if they market and deliver it direct to torrent. Forget about TV or Direct-to-video, a new Trek show will only work direct-to-torrent. Mark my words.

Not to mention the fact that Star Trek is about humanity's future, so the captain will always have to be 100% human. It might have worked in New Frontier; apart from his name and eye colour Calhound's identical to a human; but this guy would be too alien for us. I mean 300 years old, that's simply too old.
 
I'd either like to see a 25th century show, or an animated series of some kind. IMO, either of those would be more successful than anything else they could come up with.

I think an animated series would work well.

Sorry, but an animated series would not work well at all. Unless it was specifically made to be a comedy (i.e. Simpsons, South Park, Futurama, Family Guy, etc.), no one would take it seriously as a legitimate serious series.

And as for setting a new show in the 25th century? That really doesn't matter either. Setting it in the 25th century, the 21st, the 39th, etc. makes no difference. Enterprise was set in the 22nd century, yet it was pretty much TNG/Voyager Jr., in that the looks, writing, characters and acting was pretty much the same as what came before it.

Additionally, as was said before, if there is going to be a return to TV for Trek, it's going to be based on JJ Abrams' Trek, not anything else. And that's only if the return to TV is next year or so.

Now don't get me wrong. I truly believe that Star Trek will return to television, perhaps in 2020 or so, because Hollywood ALWAYS returns to past successes when they run out of creative ideas (which they do all the time). But by that time, it will have zero to do with the TNG universe.
Sounds like you've got it all figured out! :rolleyes:

It's a more accurate and realistic analysis than most of the stuff I read in this forum.

The only way you could bring a JJ abrams version of Trek to the small screen would be through animation(I'm thinking something similar to the Clone Wars animated series, but not shitty) or by introducing a new cast and crew set in that same time period. There's no way you'd get the entire movie cast to sign on for a weekly TV series. It'd be cool, but it ain't happening.
 
I think a 25th Century series set in the Alternate Universe would be far more interesting. New versions of loved characters, a whole new future history to ponder, it would be awesome!:klingon:


The next Trek series really should take place in the 25th century (in the prime universe) about 10-20 years after Voyager.

I do, Nerdius, because that's exactly what Hollywood did by creating TNG twenty-odd years after TOS.

First, go back and read what I said. I said that any return of Trek to television within the next year or so would be "based" on JJAbrams Trek. I never said the cast of Star Trek '09 would be starring in it. And your statement that "the only way you could bring a JJ abrams version of Trek to the small screen would be through animation" has zero basis in reality. After the M*A*S*H movie premiered, was the television series animated? No. How about Buffy the Vampire Slayer? No. How about Stargate? No.

I disagree. Clone Wars is taken seriously as an animated series...

I think there's a chance we could see a new Star Trek TV series based on the new movie in the next year or so, but I believe the odds will be considerably better a few years from now if the next movie does as well in the box office as this one did...

Different casts, like I said.
 
If there is a new show, I want it to be a few years after Voyager reached home or early 2400's

The 2400s would be the 25th century.

Yes, I know that.... I don't see what you are getting at. The title of this thread is called "A Show Set In The 25th Century" this could imply a date of 2460 or 2480 which IMO is too far in the future. All I am saying is i'd rather it be a few years after Voyager got home or the early 25th century.
 
Touche. However, my definition of "animated" means a cartoon, so that's the examples I used.

So is mine...

I'm talking about the Clone Wars cartoon that came out on Cartoon Network between the release of Episode 2 and Episode 3. It was done by the same animation crew that created Samurai Jack...

I rather enjoyed it...
