Which series would you want next?

[Ray Hardgrit]

It's funny how Legacy can inspire such strong reactions, even though all we really know about the concept is 'Captain Seven on the Enterprise, doing stuff after Picard s3, they'll probably check in on Star Trek things, and Shaw isn't dead somehow. Showrunner: Terry Matalas'. I might have forgotten some things, but that's the gist of it.

It's so vague that it could be like Picard at its most grimdark or Strange New Worlds at its lightest, but it would certainly have people Star Trekking on a spaceship and isn't that generally what Star Trek fans want?

Thought Terry said something about catching up with old characters.

I'm just tired of the era. There's been over 600 episodes set in the late 24th/early 25th century. I feel it's been done to death. The idea of a series that goes around revisiting all the things we've already seen throughout that era, sounds incredibly boring.

Lower Decks could get away with it because of the humor aspect of it and because i've always thought Berman-era Trek took itself to seriously. The concepts of Legacy that I've seen thrown around the most just sounds like Lower Decks without the comedy.

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

You'd better hope I never become Trek's next showrunner, because 'Lower Decks without comedy' is basically what I'd make.

My number #1 goals for the show would be:

• Follow up on the 600 episodes set in the late 24th century, revisiting things we've seen.
• Make Star Trek at least as serious as Berman-era Trek.
• Try to get Avery Brooks back for an episode.
• Carpets.
• Lights.

Actually I'm pretty sure if someone phoned me up and asked me to write a Star Trek series it'd be about new characters doing new stuff somewhere new, but I'd totally be watching that other show.

If it were up to me, and thank God it isn't, I would set a series during the very early days of the Federation.

Setting the series in the aftermath of the Romulan War and the early days of the Federation would present a multitude of opportunities for melodrama and teen angst, being they want a series for young adults.

You could have kids following in the footsteps of parents killed in the war. You have an era of rebuilding from the devastation while looking ahead to the stars and finally being able to explore the galaxy. You would have a massive shipbuilding program and the expansion of the Federation and an opportunity to examine the roll of Starfleet. Are they a military or are they explorers? You could add political intrigue and cultures learning to work together. Vulcan, Andorians, Tellarites and Humans forming the lasting bonds that make the Federation strong.

I'd greenlight that show. If we're going to have a young adult/kid-oriented Trek series with lots of angst, go back to one of the most unsettled, scary eras of the Trek chronology. A huge war had just ended and Earth and her allies had unified to form something both incredible and very, very intimidating, plus a concept that had the potential to not only fail and impressively but plunge the known galaxy into even further chaos, and the orphans of officers and crew lost to the Romulans could provide a very interesting perspective on the earliest years of the Federation and how almost nobody outside the people who founded it had any idea if it would even last long enough to celebrate a major anniversary.

Yeah.... I'd watch the hell out of a series like this!

 

[The Wormhole]

Were I doing my own Star Trek series, I'd probably do mid-25th century aboard the Enterprise H, though with new content. I envision a twenty-episode season with only one fanwank episode per season, otherwise I'd be doing something completely new or at least new spins on things from before.

I haven't really thought much about the crew aside from the chief engineer being Romulan and sarcastic and rude as all hell to everyone except the Captain, which is why aside from the fact he really is the most skilled engineer around his bad attitude is tolerated. The assistant chief engineer would also be main cast, someone who although the Romulan chief engineer is also rude and disrespectful towards, secretly he does consider him to be a very good engineer. This wouldn't come up until the episode where the crew is exposed to a Naked Time like virus that exposes the true selves. At first the rest of the crew thinks Romulans are immune the chief engineer is still acting the same as he always does, until finally he and the assistant have a scene together and the chief starts being nice to the assistant and praising him, causing the assistant to realize "oh my god, you are infected!" Basically, with the rest of the crew, the chief actually does express his honest opinions of them all the time, the assistant is the only one he puts on an act around.

Honestly, this concept has been in my imagination for close to twenty years now. Only minor changes have been made along the way. At first, I incorporated stuff from the alternate future in AGT about the Klingons conquering Romulus as the chief engineer's backstory, he escaped Klingon conquered Romulus sought refuge in the Federation and eventually joined Starfleet. Since Trek XI I adapted that to having him grow up on a Romulan colony world that got conquered by the Klingons. Also, my original idea was this was on the Enterprise G, because back in the day I foolishly thought there wouldn't be an Enterprise G any earlier than 2450. Since we now live in a time where there is an Enterprise G in 2402, I've decided to go with Enterprise H. This is a ship which has been in service for at least a decade when the show starts.

Obviously it'll never happen, but, this is the hypothetical Star Trek series I imagine myself being the creator of.

His weekly catchphrase: "Books, young man, BOOKS!!"

That’s an excellent t-shirt, right there.

I want the Enterprise-J. The 26th century would be interesting to explore as theres quite a bit to unpack in the brief glimpse of it plus the Universe class is beautiful.

I’ve always liked the idea of an Enterprise-J show, but at this point anything you could do with it, you could also do with an Angelou-class in the “current” 32nd century, so it would make more sense to do the latter, I think.

 

[Turtletrekker]

I would love to see more Seven of Nine, but would prefer to see a show about the Fenris Rangers, rather than Legacy.

 

[Commander Richard]

To avoid making the Enterprise-J just another exploration show, have it be on a mission to the Andromeda galaxy. TOS already set that up. And they should use OTOY's Enterprise-J with the transparent hull.

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

I think Discovery said that ships from the Enterprise-J's time hadn't left the galaxy.

 

[fireproof78]

Maybe it got lost in space.

Matalas basically said he wants to make a show and because people like what Matalas did last time, actually making his show feel like Trek, people want more of that. And not whatever Section 31 is/was.

Not hard. Personally, I didn't like the end of Pic S3 - nepo baby, Titan renamed, Captain Seven etc - but I think Matalas has shown enough where he could do something with it.

 

[fireproof78]

Matalas did like Season 1 with a mystery box and was a part of season 2.

So...50/50 on Legacy. Not a home run to me.

I'd enjoy the extra-galactic adventures of the 26th century starfleet.

I think Discovery said that ships from the Enterprise-J's time hadn't left the galaxy.

I think that they said no ships have crossed the barrier since the 23rd or 24th century. I could be wrong, and may need correcting.

If thats the case, they could have avoided it via a wormhole or a unique conduit that led into intergalactic space. One that conveniently doesnt exist by the 32nd century.

If its not the case, then the records couldve been lost. Its a stretch, I know.

Maybe it got lost in space.

Maybe it's still on its way back? (As of the 32nd century) Or, they were never supposed to return? It has all the hallmarks of a generational ship.

 

[at Quark's]

Perhaps a series focusing on engineers and technobabble?

I'd call it : Star Trek: Strange New Words

[cooleddie74]

Won't last a full season. The "Science and Technology Forum" episode alone will sink the show.
