In any new TNG era series they will have to...

I'd rather go to any M-class than Death Valley. The only similarities between the two people are pointed ears. They don't share the same culture or language. Infact, their cultures are pretty much diametrically opposed.

Yet "unfication" seemed to be a big deal for some of them.
 
Well, the Roms DID have a whole empire. So I'm assuming that there are other worlds in their sphere of influence upon which the refugees can settle. The race isn't endangered and the Empire isn't ended.

Just crippled.
 
I think it would be cool. Romulans would then be the 'Endangered Species' and their Empire effectively destroyed. There could be an entire series based around such a crisis and trying to put them back together again.

But who would watch it?

Right. Like a series originally based off helping a devastated society getting back on its feet :cough: DS9 :cough: would be watchable at all.

Not saying it wouldn't have some merit or potential, but as you've just demonstrated, its already been done.

A series about the staff working the bar shown in the film would have potential too, dealing with strange aliens who don't when they've had enough, but who'd watch? Enough to make it viable?

Some people will watch anything
 
Yuck, I'd rather not mix Abrams trek with prime Trek, thank you. When I play Star Trek online I had better fucking see Romulus there, intact, and fully explorable or away goes me and the SO's subscription.

Seriously, no joke. That is a deal breaker.

Well....i have been keeping up with the STO timeline they are making before they release the game. Romulus is not there. They followed what heppened in countdown, but did not follow Nero and Spock, they stayed in the prime timeline.

STO timeline where Romulus is Destroyed

"Star Trek XI" takes place eight years after "Nemesis," so that's plenty of time for an entire "Star Trek: Titan" series starring Captain Riker to run its course, complete with Romulans.

(But it would be even more interesting if it took place in the post-Romulan era.)

If that's your stance then save your money. The destruction of Romulus has been integrated into STO's "Path to 2409":

I would.

If it's done by the TNG era production crew it might actually be good! But I wouldn't let JJ's people touch anything that has to do with Trek Prime. Why? The movie viewscreens are a good example!
 
...include the destruction of Romulus, this has been established in canon as something that happened in Trekverse!
Yikes, that changes the landscape quite a bit doesn't it?

Awesome question! I posted this question a couple days ago, but after some research, it looks like a moderator moved and deleted it for some unknown reason.

I think they would have to include it. Because by not including it, you are saying the events of Star Trek XI never happened because the catalyst for those events was the destruction of Romulus in the Prime Universe.

::tounge in cheek:: You know how movie fans can be. If a Star Trek series does something that will wipe out the events of the movie, they can be very harsh because they take everything so seriously. ::tounge in cheek:: :lol:

EH NOT REALLY, the Romulans have been defeated by klingons many times in the "anti time" futures of TNG... now you know why!

The viewscreens/windows make perfect sense if you've ever worked in an office without windows. If its wrong to have windows on the bridge, why isn't located deep within the vessle, where it would be less vulnerable.

Whether it was an oversight or a budget concern, the lack of windows has now been addressed. Its called progress and hardly a senseless departure from tradition. As real technology advances, so will our predictions of the future. If trek is to be boxed in by some 60s/80s aesthetic then it deserves the death of obscurity it will receive.

The production crew of the TNG era is the reason Trek fell apart and we had to go to a JJ Abrams anyway.

Moved but not deleted. ;) (Actually, we never delete anything except against-the-rules stuff like porn and links to torrent sites.) We're just trying to keep sequel discussion somewhat compact, since the main purpose of this forum is discussion of the current movie. This thread may be merging there soon, as well.

Fortunately, Star Trek Online is incompatible with (and, AFAIK, not referenced in) Trek's current novel continuity. Not that I don't care for STO, just that the novels are a damn sight better:

ST Online still has the Borg, for instance, who were all permanently wiped out in the Destiny novels.

Now it is true that Countdown takes place in the universe of ST Online. But that doesn't mean the novels have to deal with it. I've just demonstrated that the two are incompatible anyway. ;)

Would make for a cool direct to dvd Mini Series to show what the 24th century is like without Romulus! I would think it could lead to alot of very interesting stories.
