Discovery Spin-Off Series in the Works?

[Tomalak]

This Midnight's Edge brigade seem like the Trek equivalent of those Star Wars fans who spend all day hating on Kathleen Kennedy and Laura Dern because the last film didn't meet with their fanfic approval.

It's ok to be a fan and not like everything produced under the banner. I wasn't really into Enterprise when it came out, but I didn't spend all day bitching about it online. I just didn't watch it and didn't think any more of it. I later caught up with the show and found it wasn't so bad.

It's this toxic fandom thing that's got so much worse in recent years - it's not enough to simply not like something, instead you have to want the show to fail and for no one else to enjoy it to somehow validate your opinion.

I don't really get it.

No.

Section 31 is the antithesis of Federation ideals. Why not do a Obsidian Order or Tal Shiar series?

Because they would likely be a major adversary. The show still needs to have the Federation as the "Good Guys" even if they are ruthless.

I am not sure, but all of this sounds to be the effort put into too many cheap spin-offs, possibly milking the potential, instead of concentreting on less spin-offs that would be actually good. Section 31 series clearly sounds as bonus material to flagship (which it technically is) but made worse by terribly cheesy character association. I would be glad if I knew spin-offs will be written by talented people, but I don´t know if sources are indicating any such thing.

7. The Pike Show

9. Captain Worf

11. Star Trek: Random Ship Name

15. SCIS
16. Tales from The Romulan War

I’d actually watch these.

The others, not so much, but that won’t stop them being made...

Save budget on make-up and prosthetics by having human characters.

I am thinking they should all be part of the Disco forum, which should probably be expanded to cover all CBS-AA Treks.

Or perhaps not IDK

Well, I would put all series under one heading again (Star Trek series) and just list them in production order. If we maintain the current scheme, then the order would be something like this:

Star Trek series 2151-2285: Enterprise, Romulan War, Robau, Young Sulu, Discovery, Georgiou, Starfleet Academy?, Pike Show, SCIS, TOS/TAS, Random Ship, Khan Series

Star Trek series 2364-3300: TNG, DS9, Voyager, Lower Decks?, Picard Show, Captain Worf, AfterTrek, Zora, Infinity

Star Trek series other: Short Treks (if it expands beyond Discovery to stories unrelated to the above).

That's chaos. In-universe ordering is not preferable, especially if we ever get a true anthology series or a show that spans timeframes. We won't get 16 new shows in three years, but we might have upwards of five or six.

I've always found the canon chronological forum index thing confusing since the change came in. It was fine before with the shows in production order, and the films separated into classic and Kelvin-verse.

I'd love to see a series about Sarek's early years leading up to and after his marriage to Amanda and the birth of Spock.
They could include all sorts of flashbacks to his childhood and how he became so interested in Earth and Earthlings.
I bet he didn't have such a great relationship with his father either, especially after marring Amanda.
(the apple doesn't fall far from the tree)
I'd even conjecture that the reason Spock never got married at all, was because of bad family interpersonal relationships that he saw as a kid, from his Vulcan grandparents and kin toward his father.
I would imagine they didn't see any logic at all, in marrying an Earth Woman.

I too dislike the in-universe ordering of Treks, but if we do production order Disco/spin-offs will be lost at the bottom. Perhaps reverse order? Or perhaps having "current stuff" at the top (Disco + CBS-AA Treks, maybe Kelvin movies if they show life) and the rest in production or reverse production order beneath?

DSC is paying the bills, so should be given priority.

1. 66-2003
2. Kelvin reboot
3. AA reboot

3. AA reboot

It's not a reboot.

 

[DigificWriter]

2. Kelvin reboot

These things aren't reboots.

 

[Tuskin38]

These things aren't reboots.

One of them is.

The Georgiou Series will fall under the banner of "It's not for everyone" and that's fine.

On another note, I think "1966-2005 Only" is the new "TOS Only".
