Faran Tahir as Captain in next TV series.

[MichaelStivic]

I think Faran Tahir should play Captain Robau's younger brother or son in a new Star Trek TV series that takes place on a ship in the same time period as the new Trek movie. Tahir's character could be captain and Kirk and Co. could appear in the first episode.

The buzz around Robau has been incredible and although he's dead, the actor was great and would be an awesome captain. It wouldn't be a stretch to have a close relative of Captain Robau become a captain himself 25 years after Robau's death.

Nah, I just want a Captain Robau prequel. In fact, I'd love to have a film or TV miniseries or something that gives us the adventures of Captain Robau and his first officer, Commander George Kirk.

And something focusing on Captain Pike, too. Now that I think about it, I was more interested in the secondary and background characters than the main characters we were supposed to be rooting for.

I would love this! And it could be a series more in the vein of DS9 since it wouldn't be a "flagship of the Federation" series, it would be working vessel at the arse-end of space series.

Yes please!

Pocket Books better get to work on Kelvin novels.

And it won't get confusing either, since the timeline is the same up until 2233, so a Kelvin prequel would count for both timelines.

Yipee-kai-yay.

And we get the cooler communicators. Damn, this is just reinforcing my impression that the opening scene was the film's best moment and it was downhill from there.

Agreed and Amen to both!

"Captain's Log, Stardate... fuck you stardate...

Got up, had breakfast. Flew over to the Klingon planet and beat the entire High Command in hand to hand combat. Then I drank some Postum, took a massive dump and polished my head. Memo to quartermaster: Need more buffing compound. Next on the agenda: practice my fake death grimace so I can fool people into thinking I'm actually dead so I can get some %*&(&ing sleep sometime.

End log."

Not to mention having Faran Tahir as Captain on his own show would represent what Trek is supposed to be about: Diversity. The first arab descent actor playing a lead role in a television series.

Nuff said.

As a ''mini'' series, maybe about 13 episodes exploring the KELVIN crew a little more may work, but as a full fledged series...thanks, but no thanks.

That would be cool, too.

What is everyone's fascination with this Captain Robau? He was in the movie for like 3 minutes, and got his ass totally handed to him.

Not getting it.

Robau only pretended to get punked so easily. He realized that Nero had a very fragile ego, and decided to give the guy a break.

I'm speculating that it's mostly fans who are of Pakistani descent who are flipping their shit.

 

[ian_tee]

Mmmm I am intrigued about the Robau time period. It could be explored as a TV series and would fit in the two "canon" timelines. But as far as a TV series (or miniseries) specifically focusing on Capt Robau and the adventures of the USS Kelvin, I think it is a bad idea as we know that the two lead characters will be dead at the series end.

That's because it was.

I think the rest of the film was very good, but the opening scene was amazing. If the opening scene had been the END of a Kelvin movie, I would have been more than pleased.

Not necessarily. It could be about the Kelvin in the Prime timeline.

 

[Shim]

Yeah that's the right idea - try and tell every new fan Trek has picked up, "this is an old timeline, you know the one that would have happened in your father's trek. You know what happened in that big movie we pestered you to go see that you really liked, yeah don't worry about that."

Culminating in the alienation of new fans with more technobabble, dooming us all to no Trek.

Yes, it definately was. I think the Kelvin scene was the only true stand out moment of great cinema in the film , the rest was just your standard summer action flick guff, but that actually came across like great filmmaking of old.

If you want a Kelvin show it could be done.........just set it in the original 40 year timeline!!!!! That way you don't know whether or not the ship will get destroyed in the future or the Captain killed.

Hell, I think I just came up with a idea for a prime timeline show that doesn't rubbish canon, leads to TOS and escapes our knowing the fate of the ship!!!!

Dammit, now I want to see this Trek.
