If you could make a Star Trek series yourself....

53 posts in this topic
And it would have a female klingon Chief Medical Officer.

 

If any one is interested, check out the IKS Gorkon/Klingon Empire series of books by Keith R.A. DeCandido which follows the adventures of an all Klingon crew. The characters that the author uses are from both canon, non canon, and his own characters. In addition to their own series of books, the crew was also featured in a couple short stories and other novels (the latest novel, Klingon Empire: A Burning House, has all of the past appearances listed).

 

CMO B'Oraq is the best. She's just really cool, and is a great character as a Klingon healer dealing with the rough and ready "we can deal with pain! what is this medicine you speak of?" Klingon outlook.

If you look closely in the wedding scene of Nemesis, Crusher's there with a uniform and I think Lieutenant pips.

Because we all know how big of a Nemesis fan you are. :)

I think you see his rank in the deleted scenes, if I remember right.

My favorite ST is TNG but I still limit myself in watching TNG movies because I always get so angry at how contradictory, (just like the crusher thing), they get when TNG is usually when of the better STs as far as sticking with canon. When I saw Generations, and Picard was looking at PAPER photo album, it just made me.... And then in Insurrection when Picard takes up arms against the SF when, in the series, he lets an race die because of the prime directive, it just seemed non-picard. What I don't get is why the actors agree to this, (MONEY, MWHUHAHA), why can't Frakes say "Well guys, my character doesn't want to marry Troi" or something like that, "How about I marry Ro Larren or someone who isn't just my best friend." (though not seriously)

 

The movies are just aimed at a wider audience who might have saw a star trek episode here and there so it doesn't seem like anyone even tries to make it coherent. Thats why I'm still pondering whether to be all excited and go to the first day of the new ST movie. My problem is that I don't think that being called Kirk can make you Kirk. At least Nimoy will be there.

 

Ahhh. It feels good to get that all out.

I agree that the Trek films (TNG) in general went for a wider audience, but Insurrection Picard did not take up arms against all of SF, just one rogue Admiral/faction.

 

There was a Starfleet observation post stationed at the planet (name?) in Insurrection, and the people they were observing showed no signs of aging and had remarkable health. The rogue Admiral (played by actor Anthony Zerbe) in charge of the "observation" post was working with Ru'Afo, an alien whose people practiced some pretty freaky cosmetic surgery in an effort to stay young. Both men wanted the de-aging and health perks of the planet, and in order to do that, Anij and her people were to be moved secretly and during the night to a holographic representation ship of thier village. Picard chose to take up arms against the rogue Admiral, who had somehow circumvented Fleet command with his activities.

 

I'm a little fuzzy with the recall, but I think when Picard tried to make some inquires at Command, he was given the brush off as well.

 

Picard took decisive action and dealt with the situation because there was no time for negotiation or the typical Next Gen "lets discuss this diplomatically in a meeting", or Anij and her people would have been taken in the night.

I'd like to see a show in the year 2050, when we are traveling to Mars. The whole series would be on a 4 man shuttle and the 6 month journey, and there isn't any alien interaction of course, but it's a character study to learn about these 4 people and their backgrounds.

 

 

Ok now for the real ideas:

 

1) How about a show that evolves similar to the style of this game? It starts off w/cadets learning at the Academy and preparing for life on a starship. You get glimpses of what future education and training methods would be plus of course holodecks that could simulate all kinds of situations that are creative. One kind of drawback I always had with Star Trek was that every episode a major crazy event happened, there weren't any routine days. But with the holodeck training simulation creating events of all kinds of unusual types of physical and mental challenges at least they would have a valid excuse for having a crazy adventure each episode! :)

 

2) I of course would like a show that is way into the future especially with the increased capacity of new technologies that we had glimpses of in other episodes. In particular I wouldn't mind a show that is from the point of view of Q and his adventures of various natures to get us a first hand look at many different races and other stuff that a Q would spend on his day to day. This would give blanket creativity to a lot of avenues. It could be almost like a soap opera style where you have full character sets at sooo many different junctures. Maybe in an episode part of the time you are on a Vulcan ship in one year, a Romulan ship in another, a planet based community etc etc etc. and each episode you are continuing on with a multitude of character sets and story lines. In a sense this would comingle as many creative ideas as possible and make as many come true to satisfy my content urges. You could come up w/a million ideas for star trek shows and it would suck to just have 1, let's have this one that can open us up to as many of these ideas as possible all at once. Whatever ideas they choose in this mix I'm sure I'll love each and every one of them, give me Q-uantity!

Insurrection was different from that particular episode Cuda. The Prime Directive does not apply to warp-capable worlds. Also, that episode was about 10-15 years before Insurrection. Time changes things. Perhaps in retrospect he couldn't do that again? And as someone noted, Starfleet had already mucked with the planet in the first place. I thought it was very much Picard to save the Baku.

Actually, there is an episode, (name?) in TNG in which Data shows a day of life aboard the enterprise from his viewpoint. That one is relatively calm.

I guess. Still, they aren't exactly warp capable, and the Federation also had an outpost in that episode. Still, I think that the movie Picard is a lot more like Kirk. I sometimes feel that 1 out of 3 TOS episodes features Kirk fist fighting and tearing half of his uniform, and he is a lot more emotional than Picard. Movie Picard does a good bit of fighting which is something we usually don't see him do. He is usually more politically minded and this phrase of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy can sometimes apply: "They wouldn't even lift a finger to save their own grandmothers from the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal without orders signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public enquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters."

(just joking :)) but you do sometimes get that impression.

I think that one is called "Data's Day".

 

I have to say that I like TNG better than anything else. I didn't enjoy watching TOS very much because I can't watch it without thinking about all the tension going on behind the scenes with the actors. I didn't watch DS9 very much. The episodes I did see were never the Dominian War episodes but were still dramatic, I kinda felt like I was watching a Sci-fi soap opera. ENT was too old fashioned for me. Voyager is ok though I felt like they overused the Borg. They weren't afraid of them anymore.There wasn't the fear of being assimilated because the old EMH would save you and by the time the series was over every Tom, Dick and Harry(who's Dick?) had been assimilated and saved. So what happened to Picard wasn't special anymore. He wasn't the only person to be saved from the Borg because you had Seven of Nine(I never really liked her), Chakotay, all those Borg kids and the list goes on. Annnd(I'm not done) in the end the Voyager crew didn't even defeat the Borg themselves, one of them from the future had to come and do it, with special futuristic equipment. I going to stop ranting now ::tosses two cents in the barrel::

I could never stand the dramatic music that would come at the end of each TOS scene but they still had good plots. Good plots which were used by each series after them. (whats the deal with the first few episodes of DS9 and the first season of TNG when they just reuse stuff from earlier shows?)

 

I am usually against the american art of sequels- aka taking EVERY single thing that has ever done well and redoing it- but TNG was SO different from TOS that it was okay. On the other hand, DS9 and VOY really resembled TNG too much.

Argh! I know! I feel your pain!

 

This has already happened to me. When I learned they were making a Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, I swear, I cried out, "Simon Jones is Arthur Dent and the book is Peter Jones!" Also, when I saw Ford Prefect on the advert I thought, "Man, that's not Ford. Thats some action figure who belongs in 'Transformers!'"

 

But still, the movie is made for the general audience and not for fans, and might jump-start the dying Star Trek franchise. Anyway, because of all most having a heart attack from frustration during the Hitchhiker film, I promised myself that I would just enjoy the new Star Trek film, because I know that I will, just like all the other Star Trek fans, will see the movie on the first filming within 100 miles, even though I know I will hate it.

 

Then again- I thought I would hate DS9 after TNG and ended up getting addicted to it and liking it almost as much. On the other hand, I braced myself on the sofa while pressing the play button, (actually, engage or launch button on Star Trek menus), of the first disk of Enterprise, and found myself cursing loudly throughout the entire two part pilot.

 

My problem is that I love Star Trek so much, (at least TNG and DS9, I'm less fond of TOS VOY ENT, even though I'd rather watch them then anything else), that I feel responsible for it and I hate not being able to phone J.J. and to ask, plead, that he rethink letting another actor be Kirk. William Shatner is Kirk! William Shatner is Kirk!

 

Too late. :)

 

Although maybe they could let Tim Allen be Kirk, for his stellar Shatner performance in Galaxy Quest. :P

A rebuilt ship and a seasoned Captain that finds himself temporally out-of-step with his environment. The new era (2379 - ?) of exploration in front of him.

 

Captain Morgan "Bulldog" Bateson leads a new diversified crew of Humans, Tellarites, Trill, Vulcans & Edosians aboard the Loknar III-Class U.S.S. Vonnegut, brought together from components of damaged Miranda & Sovereign-Class vessels salvaged from the Dominion War battlefield known as Rashanar (from the "A Time To..." pro-lit mini-series.)

Somehow I find that it would be difficult to find a crew to serve for a captain nicknamed Bulldog. :P

Captain Morgan Bateson was Kelsey Grammer's character from the TNG episode "Cause & Effect", where Data helped the Soyuz-Class U.S.S. Bozeman NCC 1941 avoid a collision during a temporal causality loop with the USS Enterprise-D. He also had temporary command of the Enterprise-E in Diane Carey's "Ship Of The Line".

Meaning that the proposed Star Trek series would have to be either pre or during TNG-DS9-VOY timeline, though I think what Star Trek needs is a series a good couple of centuries ahead of VOY because of ENT and the new movie which is going to over-explore the pre-TDV centuries.

Actually I thought the idea for Enterprise was an excellent one for a TV series. I would have done it differently tho. The series would be all about how Starfleet came about and the Federation. First contacts with the different species, meeting the ancestors of everyone (Kirk, Spock, Picard, etc), the creation of the Prime Directive, the building of Starfleet Academy, the perfecting of star trek technology, the forming of all the treaties, the creation of the neutral zone, etc. I think it would be cool to have a series that shows how everthing happened and then progressed.
