New Star Trek trailer online

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.
More like rewriting history, IMHO. Unless you consider the Star Trek Universe is set in an alternate reality that run parallel our own, the Eugenic War was supposed to have happened in 1999.

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...
Well I don't know about stoning you to death, unless I have a soundproof dungeon... :devil:

The first few seasons were better, IMHO, if only for the simple fact that Brannon Braga didn't run the show. He took over during the third season on, casting his future (now ex) gf, wrote many episodes spotlighting her and ignoring the starting cast.

Wow... I had already forgotten it was... You are absolutely right. Infact, Khan was supposed to be "absolute ruler" of quarter of the world in last decade :D.

You're lucky I don't use my Ignore List lightly... ;)
But really, I can only congratulate you for your honest. Now you just need to repent, and everything is fine again. ;)

Continuity with our reality doesn't matter to me. I am pretty sure there was no Klingon Bird of Prey in San Franscisco in the 80s and no Whales mysteriously appearing. It's okay with me if the timeline strongly diverges around 1999 or earlier. Doesn't really matter.
 

I've always wanted something that happens after DS9 where we pick off after what happened after the Dominion War on Cardassia. But I don't think it's very likely that's going to happen.

Unless someone wants to reimagine DS9 with Samuel L Jackson instead of Avery Brooks.

Not even Cheech and Chong and Nate Newton have that much weed.

Oh wait...you mean "stone" as in "rocks"...nevermind!

Anywhoo- there were things I liked about Voyager (and Enterprise, for that matter). Unfortunately for both series, they were both too inconsistently written in comparison to both their predecessors in the franchise and other sci-fi series that were airing at the same time to really have any success or fan loyalty.

Voyager actually features my single least favorite moment in all of Star Trek- there was an episode (1st season) in which they encountered humans who had been abducted by aliens but who had since built up their own civilization. At the end of the episode, they invited Janeway to see their city.

Instead of actually showing us the city- even in the form of a walkthrough a simple town square set, a bluescreen/greenscreen or a painted backdrop which any other show in the franchise would have given us- we get a direct transition to Janeway sitting in her ready-room post-visit going "Wow, what a fantastic city!"

ARRGH!

You're not the only one who liked Voyager. I liked it, but I can understand why many people don't like it. There are parts of it I don't like. Voyager is set in the Star Trek universe but it isn't really Star Trek.

I think some people just have a more narrowly defined ST universe than others.
