Is there a new Star Trek series coming before the year 2398?

[Warp_Speed]

From my knowledge, just the new movie next year. I have heard no rumors on any web sites about an "official" new Star Trek series coming any time soon.

Bummer I know.

But why watch a show when you can live one!?!?!?!

Star Trek Online.............Yeah baby!!!!

[Captain-Picard]

I'm aware of the movie. There all fantastic.

[danubus]

I dont see another ST series coming out. They have pretty much ran the well dry.

[Cyjack]

Wait and see how the new movie reboot does. If its huge, then maybe. But I dont think you'll ever see another show from the former production entities...Rick Berman rode the franchise right into the ground.

[Rainmaker]

Rubbish! They just need a facelift. I think that Star Trek has always been a reflection and commentary on the ails and worries of current society. Battlestar Galactica stole the torch, directly from Voyager IMO. Enterprise just didn't connect to anyone except old star trek fans. Galactica connected to everyone with it's insight to religion, terrorism and the annihilation of the society by outsiders. These are the woes and fears of people today. We need a Trek to fill that void and bring real life issues to the forfront. Star Trek has and always will be a social commentary.

Star Trek: Racism, Distrust to the Soviet Union(klingons)
Next Gen: Sexism, rising above our need for material things(huge in the 80's)
Deep Space Nine: Fanatical Religion, Making Criminals Heroes(popular in movies in the 90's)
Voyager: Lot's of Border Disputes, Energy for Survival

That's what I see in these shows. Everyone interperets them differently. The main problem with enterprise is we went backwards in time, and we should always be going forward in science fiction.

LOL! Sorry but I can only laugh at that. :D Also disagree with the Berman haters...

I think there are still many things that could be done. But most importantly I want an official movie, mini series or game (action-RPG) that is focusing on DS9. I need to know what happens after the finale. SPOILERS! I want to know if Ben comes back, what's up with the Dominion, will Odo return to Kira, what happens to Miles, is Rom really an idiot, so will he destroy the Ferengi? /SPOILERS! Ok, the last one was a joke (or not?). :D And more...

And it would be great to see the final three seasons of Enterprise. :( Damn execs, pulling the plug. :mad:

[Cyjack]

Battlestar Galactica stole the torch, directly from Voyager IMO. .

Only if you mean they both take place in Space.

The new BSG is one of the best written, best acted, best directed space opera science fiction shows ever to be on
television.




Voyager was also on television.

[cptsmith1]

well.if they make a show after the movie..i dont know if it would be that good :I:confused:

[bitgolem]

:D Also disagree with the Berman haters...

...and by Berman haters, you mean fans of the Star Trek Universe.

[Ferd_Burfel]

I don't hate Berman, but it's good he is done with Star Trek. The well did run dry. If it didn't then he was just getting lazy. Enterprise was a bunch of used stories from the previous franchies applied to the new characters. Some of it worked, most of it didn't. I think he and his team were burned out. Need proof? Manny Coto made some of the best episodes of Enterprise after he became the show runner. New blood, new energy. I'm not calling for Berman's head, but he did run Star Trek aground with his inability to come up with anything new.

But as to the original post, no I don't think we'll get a new series anytime soon. If Star Trek does come back, it needs to be much, much later. Look at how great TNG was (70 years) after TOS. Why wouldn't someone try that again?

I'd let this game and movie run its course and judge fan reaction and interest 3 years from now. If it is there, talk about a series then. Something new and interesting that takes place in the mid 2400s. It doesn't have to be uptopian. It can be a bad future about a crew or group that still holds the uptopian ideals and wants to bring them back. That is Star Trek to a T (or dare I say ST?). That is what the franchise needs to survive.

[wareve]

What we need is a new bad guy. we have had zombies (borg) an huge oppresive force (dominon) and time travelers (xindi). What dont we have? Allso a new seting would be good. What about a colony? like a space station only on a planet.

[kbird200425]

I was hoping at least a mini-series starring all the crew a battle with species 8472. Tie up all the loose ends and explain why the alpha seemed to have join forces.

Big QFE!! Bitter sweet it's the last season.

[Sinclair]

I predict that Trek XI will do phenomenally well as a TOS reboot movie, and that we will see more TOS era movies with the same cast in lieu of a new series for the next decade. Here is hoping I am right about the movie and wrong about the series ;)

[AnthonySabre]

The question is who will produce and write the new series? I wonder if it will go back to Manny Coto. He did do some great things during ENT's last season. I think (hope) it's safe to say that B & B will not be back as exec producers. I pray....

[NCC74656]

We need to see a full fledged war. One from the begining of the series and a breakdown of principles and then a reformation at the end that is even stronger than the previous federation government.

[Captain_Joseph_Baller]

Im currently writing the first book in my Star Trek novel series entitled Star Trek: Excelsior, and no it is not a continuation of Forged in Fire, which was a good book. It instead takes place around the same time STO is in, the mid 24th century. The ship, the Excelsior, NCC-2000-A, is an Excelsior II class, a completely new design. A new crew, a new time, a new look, and a much darker feel in some parts. Not to be fecesious, but I think it would make a good show. There are plenty of new and exciting aspects to it.

Why does everyone hate Berman, the only thing he tried to do was please us! I think he did a marvelous job on all his work. Its not his fault that ST went into the ground. I think it was the fan's faults for losing interest. Enterprise may not have been the best series, but isnt that what happened to all of them? TOS got cancelled as well, dont forget that. And people were skeptic when a British thespian was signed on to play the lead role of the next series.

Star Trek at its best is not be about war. It is about exploration, adventure, and problem solving. All elements of what makes a great video game might I add :cool:

Now, this thread is about the possibilities of a new ST series, not the faults of Rick Berman (of which there are plenty) so I'll avoid that subject too. If you guys want to whine about Berman & Crew you should find a forum for that topic.

Anyway, I'm going to agree with several other posters on this topic. If the movie does well, we'll get another ST series. If it does Mediocre we're sadly going to be saying goodbye to ST on the little screen for a long time. :(

[Stu1701]

I'd love to see a new Star Trek series out, but for the love of god, no more prequels! That's one of the reasons I'm looking forward to the Star Trek Online game. They're doing what I've been saying for a few years now, moving forward into the Star Trek time-line. That's what I'd like to see in a new series, move forward in the time-line. I can't wait to see what waits for us in the 25th century.

[Sqwirtzilla]

Yes there is a new star trek movie comming out!
It is directed by J.J.Abrams and stars the great Leonard Nimoy as "older spock" along side Zachary Quito as "yong spock". ( Sylar from Heroes). The release date was going to be 25th December 2008 but they have now changed it to 8th May 2009. awwww...
The movie apparently, is set before TOS. With all this in mind im sure it will be a great film.

[Cyjack]

N:(

This simply isnt true. There's elements of that in the television series, where they need to fill 22 episodes a season on a limited budget, but Star Trek at its very *best*, I mean the *best* and most popular examples of Star trek, are far and away about contests of wits between opposing captains or factions., with a strong action focus. And when the series need ratings, they always go to the conflict card.

All the movies with the exception of ST4 and ST:TMP have an action/combat focus. Wrath of Khan is widely considered to be the finest Trek moment...contest of wills/action. TNG fan...fine, the best movie was First Contact...War. Far and away the most popular epsisode of TNG was BOBW...another battle of wits with strong action.

Im not discounting those elements you mentioned, they are definitely a part of Star Trek. But they arent the most popular part, no matter what people might like to say.

Also, unless you haven't played any games beyond MYST, I think you're discounting the vast majority of the greatest games ever made, the majority of which a strong combat component. You can lament this aspect of human nature all you want, but failing to accept it isn't realistic.

City on The Edge of Forever is one of the best written Original Star Trek moments,but you can't make a game out of it...not a MMO, at any rate. You cherish it as good fiction. Balance of Terror on the other hand, also one of the best moments, a contest of wills with a combat focus, would make a great game.

[DrAmyWeaver]

In my not particularly humble opinion...

I think what went wrong with Enterprise - other than bad scheduling on a low-level network - is that they completely missed the zeitgeist. All the series up until then were a microcosmos of what was going on at the time...

TREK TOS: Big Government is good, commie (klingon) fear, strong confident America BUT including some hippy "we can all live together" values.

TNG: introspection, UN-styled "open peace", perestroika with the Klingons, but with a seismic shift towards globalisation paranoia and loss of identity (Starfleet betrayal threads, the Borg).

DS9: the hypocrisy of diplomacy, the horrors of civil and other war, the small moments between the battles when people relax and enjoy themselves.

VOYAGER: smaller, character-led and community-led storylines, bold and confident "do what's necessary" actions followed by handwringing afterwards.

ENTERPRISE... "weren't we all good back in the day?" Yes, Dubya.

Sorry, not flying in the new millennium.

What's needed is something that addresses how people feel now, about Big Government, corporate wranglings, questionable actions happening on their behalf.

Over on the EU COH forums I worked up an idea for a Section 31 series... that'd be quite fun...

[Thoth]

I honestly can't see them doing another show anytime in the near future. It just costs too much with no real return ratings wise on Sci Fi.

I would love a new show, but right now it is wait and see. If the movie does half as good as Dark Knight, then we might have a shot.

I agree But what i also think went wrong with it was that it just wasn't a STAR TREK programm. it lacked the sense that all the other STAR TREK's gave you of adventure, and companionship, and even the bad jokes. I find it difficult to watch, it feels cheap, it feels like a sleasy spinoff, there's pretty much no relation to any of the other TREK's. i think the biggest problem was the way it was directed: it felt like another drama series not an epic comeback of the STAR TREK franchise/

sorry next years movie is a prequel to TOS

[NCC-2000]

So long as humans aren't assimilated there will continue to be new Trek franchises, at least until April 5, 2063.

[kbird200425]

Exactly, I want to see a war something more theartening. I never been one for happy endings. They have to be will to step outside the box. Species is the greatest theart to the federation. It's time to purge the galaxy. The opening should be an invasion, species has heard Voyager arguement and decisied the time for discussion has ended. All three series brought together for a battle that will never been forgot. The lose of ships, lives, and worlds unmatched by any previous attacks. Ending with a new era a new captain and a new crew (of the point letting the startrek community vote on the captain, crew and ship). Leading us to the release of STO and explain why the Alpha quandrant are united for awhile at least. There real question is can the people behind the show take such a daring leap and put everthing they created on the line, to usher in a new era.

[Cyberwolfman]

The franchise is going to be slowing down for a while but it won't die...it's too big. Star Trek has inspired too many people to just die off. Invention and exploration have been greatly influenced by the Star Trek Universe. I just hope it doesn't take another 20 years for another series to begin. So for now, even if the movie tanks, the franchise will be running on gray mode. It just needs that story line/arc to draw in a new crowd....but unfortunately it looks like our next generation will be a little "slower" due to the dominance of so called "reality" shows.

I just hope that doesn't mean the next series will be dumbed down.

[lootra]

i hate battleviolence galactisex! (battlestar galactica)

[jla1987]

...and by Berman haters, you mean fans of the Star Trek Universe.

lol My hate goes more toward Braga, a man who admittedly tended not to follow canon. What a joke....

[Starn]

Workin' on it.

[Ryan3932]

Enterprise just didn't connect to anyone except old star trek fans.

I wasn't an old star trek fan when I started watching Enterprise, and I know a few people that didn't like star trek very much until they started watching Enterprise.

As for the question of "Is there a new Star Trek series coming before 2398?" Who knows, It would be nice. Hopefully if there is, it will be the best series yet!

Like I said, who knows, maybe by the time they have a new Star Trek Show it won't be a show, but a HoloNovel.

[cammicauac]

Hey People

I personaly believe that going back to kirks era for a Movie was a Mistake that really they should have done a will riker movie and then if that went well do a series of the Uss. Titian no go back in time
After all in real life we can't go back in time and change things (Yet) lol
so why do it in a movie seems stilly to me

But thats just my view or that they should have carried picard on in series
Sure patrick stewarts not as young but it would have still been great God I miss Him as Picard
anyway but can't change whats been done now.....

Just have to make it so and carry on with life....

[JKMurphy]

If they do do another series then it would be set in the very distant future in say the 29th centure, or 30th when time travel is a very real possibility, and reveal the time war. now that would be interesting, I'm sure there would be episode where they spill into Archers era

[ArchBuck]

Blah, after the bad press and bad numbers Enterprise got, I don't think there will be any more series... I think it has become too much of a public "uncool" thing to be a trekkie... so the shows just won't take place.

Probably more movies though *pray*

[JKMurphy]

Bah, sod those publice '.]#.'];';;#'.#'.']';#' there brains are to puny to appretiate star trek for what it is, the fbirth of modern day life, and they to stupid to know it.
