New Star Trek trailer online

[Fallen Seraph]

I am mixed on this. I am someone who always likes to "see what happens next". So seeing more Trek stuff either movie or series that goes more into the future I will be glad to see.

But I also would love to see some of the stuff we have heard happened in the past brought to the big or little screen. There are so many conflicts and such that we haven't seen.

Hell, why not a mini-series dealing with the Enterprise C from launch to the events of the TNG episode. We could also have a series dealing with Enterprise B (hello Sulu as captain).

A movie or mini-series I would love to see (I think either in this thread or the other I mentioned it already) but the Earth-Romulan war be great to see. It be neat to see old-Earth ships and Romulan ships engaging each other with nuclear weapons.

I'm groovin on SylarSpock.

I share some of the concerns about the age of the cast, and despite his appearance/build and skill as an actor, I see Zachary Quinto as yet another one of the problems.

At 31, he's fully 5 years younger than Leonard Nimoy was when he originally got the role...and he really looks it.

Simon Pegg as Scotty, though...

Right so if JJ Abrams feels there is an audience for a story involving TOS characters, then his track record shows he is probably right. Thanks for helping to reinforce my point.

Not really. It can make for a new TOS films series, like MGM rebooting the James Bond franchise with a new leading actor.

My skepticism regards with the TV series.

You might represent the majority here...

Here?!?!!!!

Hahahaha.

Doubt it.

Maybe not. We might need a poll.

I am torn between "reimagination" that fixes any plot holes and continuity issues, and a new series set further into the future, preferably with an Enterprise of a Federation that also includes Romulans, Cardassians and Klingons (either as members or very close allies) that goes to explore a new Galaxy.

When I read some time ago that George Takei was pitching the adventures of Captain Sulu on the Excelsior (i.e. around the Undiscovered Country timeframe), and that it was rejected, I was sad.

And what did we get instead, IIRC? Voyager. Voyager.

*sob*

What makes you believe that the people that botched Voyager wouldn't have botched Excelsior? I agree it could have been a very good show - but so could have been Voyager. You just need the right team, people with a good vision of their show.

Hope and (possibly misplaced) optimism?

Plus I like the original cast movies better than... most other ST series, so it would already be getting a head start.

Yeah. Voyager had a cool concept (Federation ship all by itself in a distant and unexplored part of the galaxy, mixed crew, scarce resources). It's just that the execution sucked.

Soo... If I bump in and say I actually liked Voyager, you guys are going to stone me to death right? Okay, just to make sure... I'm not going to do that then... Or did I just do it already...

I'm actually becoming more and more thrilled about this movie. When I first saw the new looks of the bridge I was horrified, but the more I see now, the more accepting I become for all the retcon. I'm still not sure about most of the cast, but McCoy and Scotty are atleast spot on
