Absolutely!! Vic would be amazing at the role. He's already as real a Kirk to me as Shatner, and much moreso then Pine. I've always wanted an actual series on the TMP style Enterprise. There was so much work put into those designs and we barely see them. A few movies does not do that ship or style justice. I always wanted that, much more so then "finishing the mission."
I've never seen those pictures before, just the video. Thanks for sharing. The STC crew looks fantastic in the monster maroons, and the TMP tunics have never looked better. That is awesome...
Thank you for the elaborations on my points. You (and Maurice) absolutely nailed everything I was getting at. There were some serious hurt feelings of disrespect with the Mindsifter debacle, for sure, but Origins was definitely the biggest waste of the bunch. Ironically, it may have been what unintentionally launched STC.
I had no idea they had done that to Exeter. Very ironic, considering their anger at people jumping ship to STC. Didn't realize they had changed the goal of their engine room, either, but it makes sense, considering STC was already building theirs.
NV/P2 were perfectionists in some cases, and completely destroying canon in others. Did they want to be an alternate timeline split into a Phase II with Xon and Spock and new engines on the TOS E and a grown Peter Kirk and an insanely late birth of David Marcus, or a bridge into the movies and future shows? It never seemed sure of its identity, and then got caught up in wanting to be perfectionists / compete with the new show and ended up completely combusting along the way. The Buck Rogers thing was a huge loss. They over-reached and failed, which was fine when it was on their own dime, but becomes an irritant after years of kickstarters and promises. The retconning of history to blame it on the guidelines is misdirection at best.
Anyways, whatever happens at this point, I'm glad we have gotten what we did from STC, and wish them all nothing but the best, but am definitely holding out hope for a movie era series at some point. If anyone has proven that they have the talent, ambition and patience to get something done, its STC.
