Rumor: the show takes place between TOS movies and TNG
- Thread starter AvBaur
- Start date
Is there a rumor the series will be set 50 years after Enterprise and the crew is entirely homosexual?
The 50 years after TNG part of the story has been removed from Samurai8472's link,
Others talked about American Horror Story after these posts, and that was pretty much the style I was talking about. By following the alternate versions of the same characters on the same ship, they could keep the cast and sets, but still do totally different, stand alone stories each season. I know this is almost guarenteed not to happen, but I just thought it would be a fun way to do an AHS style Trek anthology series.
Yeah, I'm not putting any trust into "news" coming from anyone but CBS anymore.
Post-TUC, post-NEM, post-TNG, pick one!

Amen. Never take on-line "rumors" seriously.
My apologies; that's the danger of ignore settings.
To be fair, the last two are basically the same time period
We already know from Voyager and Enterprise that the Federation exists in the future. According to the time traveler Daniels, the Federation is still there in the 26th century. So if the new series is set following NEM, or in the 25th century, you are still in a position of not being able to credibly threaten it with destruction.
If I understand your position.
Yes, but how many times through the years had the Federation negotiated a treaty with the Klingons? The negotations broke down, or someone broke it, or the resulting treaty only lasted a few years, etc..
The Federation apparently had some kind of agreement with the Klingons at the beginning of TNG, it didn't last.
To be fair, it's not "The Inner Light" level of horrible.
The Inner Light? It's not one I am fond of either, but to rank it low enough to use as an example? Goodness. (though I also don't see the problem with The Alternative Factor, especially for its time.)
Yes...Daniels and enterprise j etc....I would say that's borderline apocrypha in what I am thinking of, since it was a few seconds of a potential future seen during the middle of what these days is I believe known as Timey Wimey shenanigans.
It would a lot harder to pull a Pyramids of Mars and suggest swathes of future continuity would not exist...so 50 years after Tng sounds good and frees up the show from running into the kind of kinks that plagued enterprise. (can't see the Romulans, can't call a borg a borg, etc...) There's a difference between the odd continuity cock up made with the best of intentions (especially when thinking about things retroactively...moon colonies that we never see when we see the moon. Maybe it's all duckblinds at night because of the Earth Trust or something) and being forced to chuck a ton of it out whilst trying to also benefit from that very continuity, or considering oneself creatively hamstrung because you desperately want to see a movie era Connie dust it up with the Borg.
It all comes down to how they plan on playing with the toys and if they plan on putting them back in the box later so others can play with them later.
What? That's an amazing episode.

Some have a problem with the invasive nature of Picard's experience in The Inner Light, likening it to "mind rape." And so that colours their whole perception of the episode.
And then there's the wacky notion that Picard spent many decades in a simple life in a less developed civilization, but was then able to get right back to commanding an advanced starship without missing a beat.

Was this meant as some kind of slam?

I tend to think it is mind rape. No one asked Picard's permission and essentially threatened to kill him when Crusher tried to intervene.
Yeah, Daniels was weird... But then again: He only talked about most things. What we saw (Enterprise-J) was apparently only one of many possibilities (where Archer never met the sphere builders and Earth was never attacked by the Xindi), like the three-nacelled Enterprise from "All good things" or Captain LaForge from "Timeless", or future-Janeway from "Endgame". He did specify the Federation exists in the future though. But there was enough leeway to allow drastic changes: it was never specified Earth still exists, or any other member, or what exact form the Federation had. If they were an Empire in decline, a stable society since centuries, or a "re-born" Federation from the ashes of apocalyptic events. Hell, we never actually confirmed Daniels was human. He just looks like one. Which doesn't mean much in Star Trek.
With a prequel series we would have the definite confirmation every piece of the puzzle will fall in line. Since I bet we will never actually see the Enterprise-J again, this was only one of the many alternate futures Star Trek had shown us in the past, and still leave the door somewhat open. A prequel is not necessarily a bad thing, but it would somewhat limit the greater outcome and thereby the possible focus of a series. If they handle the minutae right, and focus on the characters, it still could work. My general preference would still be a move forward though.
