Star Trek Rebooted
- Thread starter James Wright
- Start date
Lets see here, as I understand it... TOS kinda-sorta rebooted Forbidden Planet, TMP then rebooted TOS, then TWOK rebooted TMP, TNG then reboots TWOK, meanwhile, back at the worm hole, DS9 is taking place at the same time as TNG, Voyager then reboots TNG, ENT reboots or is it "preboots" TOS, then Jar-jar comes along and reboots TWOK... (Shakes head to clear cobwebs)... H-okay now that that's cleared up. Star Trek...to boldy reboot where noone has rebooted before...Ya got to love it!
I think TNG movies spelled the end of TNG movies.
So every time someone changes clothes it's a reboot?
It's a pity, Riker finally took command of a starship and we'll never see him put Picards' advice to use on screen, only in novels.
The same can be said for Sulu with the Excelsior when it comes to TOS movies.

Go read the Destiny trilogy if you want some good Picard/Riker adventures.
I suspect that at some point in the future, maybe a goodly number of years down the road, people who grew up with TNG will be feeling nostalgic about the "Good Old Trek"--and someone in Hollywood will eventually try to mine that nostalgia in some way. Depends on who is still around from the TNG cast and what the Trek climate is like.

TOS = original
TNG = sequel
DS9 & VOY = spin-offs
ENT = prequel
I-VI = continuation of TOS
VII-X = continuation of TNG
XI = reboot of TOS
TNG = sequel
DS9 & VOY = spin-offs
ENT = prequel
I-VI = continuation of TOS
VII-X = continuation of TNG
XI = reboot of TOS
XI = in-continuity reboot of TOS / sequel to X 
TNG never had a chance when it came to the films. There's not a really good film among them - only First Contact comes close, and it's deeply flawed. The death-knell, to me, was when Picard and Worf sang karaoke on a shuttlecraft on order to stop a malfunctioning android from interacting with an alien race we couldn't be convinced to care about. Or the 'firm boobs' conversation. Or Picard freezing time with his mind. Or the Enterprise having an emergency joystick. Okay, all those examples were from Insurrection, so I guess I should say that Insurrection killed TNG, but Insurrection was only a bad movie following two mediocre ones.
I won't even bring Nemesis into this.
TNG killed TNG. 000-destruct-0. Or alpha whisky foxtrot tango, or whatever Picard's command codes are.

If NEM matched FC's quality at minimum and came out in 2000, then it could've salvaged TNG as a movie series. But if fell short of FC and came out too late. No one cared anymore by 2002. It had been too long since the last good TNG movie and there were plenty of other options.
Indeed. It was pretty sad, for me, when I went to the theater to see Nemesis on opening day, and the theater was mostly empty. The fire had gone out at that point.

Yep.
XI = in-continuity reboot of TOS / sequel to X
That's debatable.
