He still posts a lot, his avatar is a very bright head shot of Sophie bexter.Medalion said:Dax01
And I don't remember seeing them around as much for awhile
And Uhura married the Vulcan that appeared in Amok TimeMorn said:The game is higher canon than this. It's official CBS/Paramount canon dealing with the Trek universe post-Romulous.
This is done by the people who do those horribly non-canon movies like Of Gods and Men where Captain Chekov can save the day.
Charlie X returns and screws up time so Captain Kirk never existed or something and it's up to an alternate reality Chekov, Tuvok, another character played by the guy who plays Harry Kim, and Uhura who can somehow remember the other timelinegdt5016 said:lol, never gonna happen.
And wtf is the story behind that Gods and Men movie?
hee hee heeMedalion said:I watched maybe half of that Of Gods and Men on youtube... I just could not get past the crappy production values, even the cameos didn't do it for me, story was lame
It was like a really really bad early 90's CD-ROM game kinda bad
Which version of events it's building on doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the style of any future show.Medalion said:If anything, the reboot style would be brought to TV before another of the old skool style Star Treks come back...
Medalion said:WTF is that abomination of a Star Trek fanfilm... how did they get so many of the Star Trek actors and side characters to show up?
General Martok....noooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Alcibiades said:i'd prefer they keep the planet destructions to the abrams universe and keep any part of the supernova storyline out of the old canon (unless it involves a slingshot around the sun by old spock going back to fix it so that romulus isn't destroyed or something like that)...
too bad insurrection and nemesis destroyed the goodwill towards the next-generation film franchise because First Contact was a good launching point for pleasing both avid Trek fans and a casual audience... now they've basically given the finger to hardcore trekkies (which admittedly, is a smart move financially)...

Medalion said:Even when Sci-Fi tv was in fashion it was never in fashion... it was always a nerdy thing, if anything today's culture should be more accepting of it as nerd culture has really spread a lot more

Guardian Bob said:Yeah, the world is a lot more nerdy. Everyone has smart phones and if you put a star trek tv show right behind the big bang theory (also CBS) it will get big viewers.
Medalion said:Super heroes and super villains from Comic Books movie/tv adaptations, fine
Sci-fi based on something set in the future in possibly real technology to come, too nerdy

Guardian Bob said:You do know the last star trek movie made almost 400 million? More than Iron Man and any other comic movie. Plus is was sell enjoyed by a lot of people. What makes you think some of those same people wouldn't watch a tv show?
BattleMonkey said:Super hero shows have not done well at all, Smallville has gotten lucky but it's almost made on a shoestring budget.
Busty said:Could you please explain how a TV show can be 'lucky' for TEN YEARS?!
BattleMonkey said:They don't seem to agree with this, and when the Trek shows had kept failing in ratings while the movies are now succeeding, it just sends the message to the heads of the studios that TV trek is dead for now.
TNG was a huge hit, one of the most successful sci fi series ever really, but each series after took a huge drop in viewership. DS9 still pulled in good numbers, but at almost half to 40% of TNG viewers, and each afterwards did incredibly bad numbers. Voyager on any other channel would have been long canned at the time, but it sadly was the highest rated show on that shit network at the time.
Guardian Bob said:There is a pattern to all this. The original series got canned because of low viewership, then after a break TNG was a big success. They tried to do too much and viewership dropped again. It's possible after another break another very successful show will take off.
BattleMonkey said:Mean lucky in how long it's been on despite how shitty it is, but also lucky to survive when super hero shows are notorious for failing hard.
Busty said:Neither of these factors are luck.
People watched Smallville. That's more than can be said for Enterprise by the end.
Medalion said:People watched Smallville because it was a teen soap opera, cheesy as all fuck hell, the oh so pretty young people
Star Trek would intimidate some people... but somehow the Star Trek reboot changed that for some reason
Yep, that's why it's format would be perfect for the CWGuardian Bob said:Yeah, but unfortunately the new movie did have that 'casting young sexy people to attract other people' aspect.
That's pretty irrelevant to the future of Trek on TV. It's not like Rick Berman or Brannon Braga have any say in the matter anymore.Teh Hamburglar said:They've demonstrated they don't know how to do TV anymore. Voyager and Enterprise were creative abortions.

Guardian Bob said:Honestly, I don't think CBS has the guts to try a new TV show...
The vision that we have created is true to the pre-2009 screen canon (TV and movies). We were also careful with the Star Trek: Enterprise canon as well. Through the years, I have had the chance to get to know many of the original series cast, crew, and even some of the studio execs. I have developed an extremely deep passion for the original vision of Gene Roddenberry. And while Star Trek has moved on with other series that were not exactly in line with Genes original vision, the roots are there to tap into.
Enterprise is canon for both the Prime and Alternate timelines. The split happens between ST:E and TOS so all canon post ST:E only affects Prime (witch the film points out is still ongoing).Hobbun said:Now this is exactly what I want to hear. Where Abrams movie was certainly enjoyable, you have to separate it from the previously determined Star Trek timeline. As its been said, its in own universe.
GDJustin said:I'm as big a Trek fan as anyone, but any new Trek that doesn't recognize the 2009 film is DOA. This is a waste of time for all involved, if it truly ignores the film. Will never happen.
I would prefer the Dominion War happen for a 2nd time but bigger, more stakes than take place during the old oneevil solrac v3.0 said:make the new show set during the dominion war or during the battle of cestus III or something....
B_Rik_Schitthaus said:"Where's Spock gone?"
"Some alternate timeline"
"OK then."
they should make more of those movies that throw random trek actors like the guys who played tuvok and uhura on a ship together.
BattleMonkey said:New show set in a holodeck, crew can't ever get out, non stop changing setting because its on the fritz. Everyone loves holodeck episodes, so lets have a whole show be nothing but that! And make sure it has lots of kids! Kids make stuff great!
They could use the bar from Cheers as the holodeck scene. In every episode.BattleMonkey said:New show set in a holodeck, crew can't ever get out, non stop changing setting because its on the fritz.
