Should STAR TREK be Kept Alive?

Started by Darth Vicious6 pages

hello, a little late but the only Star Trek series i like was Next Generation, original as kid not anymore and Enterprise is good as for the movies ive only seen some bits and pieces with the riginal cast but mostly with the Next Generation, i did like a recent episode of Enterprise where the Borg came out and i really liked hoe they tied it in with ST:First Contact and NG since in the episode th Borg send a message that was gonna take 200yrs to get to their home planet and i believe thats when they first met them in NG in "The Best Of Both Worlds" as for Voyager and DS9, they both sucked!

Didn't like Voyager either.

ya voyager sucked, and they did ruin the borg. i do think that there is still a future though for star trek films but they definitely need to be done right. i would love to see a film based almost completely around warf and the klingon empire. perhaps another civil war and of course have cameos by different characters from TNG. perhaps at the end of the movie theres a great battle and just as it seems all hope is lost in comes Riker with a fleet and saves the day. maybe i should write a script, lol.

I am certain you could do a far better job than the boys at Paramount who seem to love recycling old plots and making them into new episodes. The Borg actually were intoduced before "The Best of Both Worlds" but that is when they first became a major threat for the Federation.

books

maybe you should try and read the books. It reintroduces old concepts and concludes them. they also introduce new cocnepts. well do whatyou want

I have read more than enough of the books and hate the story arcs that take three and four books to finish.

How many books are there??

Nearly three hundred I would guess. Not all of them come numbered so you can't tell that way.

Really damn that's alot.

Pocket Books have been doing them since 1980 after the first motion picture came out. Then they added a numbering system for the classic series of novels which continues to this day. That is not even taking into account a novel range for each tv series including hardbacks and other non-numbered sets.

Like everything it should be kept alive only in the right way.

It is a matter of gross overkill in my humble expert opinion.

True.

me read? ya right... lol

Anyway back to topic: I think Star Trek has had its day and a half and no more spinoff movies or series should be produced.

There should be no more Star Trek whatsoever. Is it not a tad overdone?

This is my thinking as well. Gene Roddenberry would roll over in his grave if he could see what Rick Berman has done to his dream!

Yeah it's sad that sometimes the ST name hits the dirt.

Especially when you consider Roddenberry had absolutely nothing to do with the last three spinoff series and any of the past four films.

But ST original shows can't be beat.
