Concept Art For Trek XI Enterprise

[Flexor the Mighty!]

Reimagining is not what Trek needs. What it needs are executive producers that can recognize a good script when they see one. There are still plenty of stories that can be told without reimaginging things.

I agree. I have no interest in a rebooted Kirk & co.

Need I mention how incredibly sad I am that Manny Coto wasn't given the reins for Enterprise from the start, or at least much sooner? That's got to be the #1 missed opportunity in recent genre TV. Followed close behind by the cancellation of Firefly, and then having Kevin Sorbo have too much control over Andromeda....

True. What I don't understand is why they are going backwards. First, Enterprise and now this.

To defend Enterprise, the fourth and final season was the best of all previous three seasons (under the mantle of Braga & Berman). It's no wonder why Manny Coto is part of the production staff at 24.

Why not take the Next Gen route?

The cast is getting old.

If they can't do any stories set in the same time frame as Next Gen/Voyager/DS9, why not jump ahead 100 years?

Because in 100 years, they'll be making timeships ... and I don't like temporal-themed stories. Only The Voyage Home I can stomach as far as time-travel stories go.

They were until aircraft began to dominate, at which point battleships started to bristle with guns albeit of much smaller caliber then their main battery.

And, strictly speaking, there are no battleships in service with today's navies.

Personally, I'm surprised they don't slap some VLS photon torpedo cells on the back of the saucer. Higher potential rates of fire, and you can still have the magazine-fed version for longer fights.

I wasn't commenting on the quality of the show, just that it was set in the past. I've only ever seen a few episodes. A couple were okay, but they were all ruined by the finale. Wow. I heard people complain about it, but I couldn't imagine it was as bad as they said. It turned out to be worse!

The cast is getting old.

No. No. I meant doing like Next Gen did and jump ahead a generation.

Because in 100 years, they'll be making timeships ... and I don't like temporal-themed stories.

The irony being that Enterprise was set in the past, but a major part of it was the "Temporal Cold War".

That the show was set in the past didn't bug me at all. There were lots of stories that could have been told in there, about how the Federation came to be. And the actors had the chops, too. And Manny Coto proved that it could be done well.

Unfortunatley, Mr. Coto didn't do the finale. That was more B&B bungling.

For the record, Manny Coto didn't do the series finale. It has Berman's & Braga's (Manny's bosses) handprints all over it.

No. No. I meant doing like Next Gen did and jump ahead a generation.

Too big a gamble. Never had Star Trek new cast of main characters ever debut on film. Only on new TV series.

The irony being that Enterprise was set in the past, but a major part of it was the "Temporal Cold War".

And I re-iterate, I never like temporal-themed stories.

Not necesarily. Navel battleships have been steadily moving towards a smaller number of larger guns.

Fear my mighty bellybutton gun! I'm like a giant Japanese robot!

 

[The Grumpy Celt]

I want to know where the wave-motion gun is?

I've been looking over this image and looking over this image and I don't see it anywhere? Where is the wave motion gun, blast it!

 

[Azlan]

I lo-ooove the "battleship style" phaser turrents!
