Please please no! Not a love triangle between Sookie, Eric AND BILL! Ugh!

This is very exciting news. I really hope this turns out to be set further in the future than TNG/DS9/VOY. I agree that we have seen a lot during this timeline and something further in the future will be refreshing. I just hope there are no kids especially a Wesley like character. I loved TNG but the families business always bored me.

got my invite today! i will be headed on after my huge download is finished. guess after my hell week isover i know what i will be doing during my vacation :)

That seems to be happening a lot, I've voted 6 or 7 times in the last couple of weeks.
I wonder why they keep it going and haven't said anything about the topic?

I had several weeks worth of problems getting a viable pre-order code from Gamestop but I finally got the pre-order registered yesterday.

I'm not sure exactly what the article is saying though; are they saying that late pre-orders will not necessarily give you early access? I certainly hope not cuz if they do I'mma be pissedoff.

They'd better give me some really awesome extra in game items or bonuses if that happens or comp me a month's worth of gameplay. lol

I've heard ideas from everywhere on this. The ones I like though are:

Animated version, ala SW:Clone Wars, of Titan or new Voyager. Has potential just because the budget wouldn't have to be as big with effects being almost limitless.

A glue series that shows the gap between TOS and TNG. I think this could be fun and it would be easy to intertwine familiar characters.

And props to the G and T show, a vanguard-esque story arc that follows 4 or 5 different offices/ships assigned to said star base. This would give the writers a ton of options but I don't know how much it would pull in more casual fans.

At any rate new Trek is better than no trek, great thread.

That's actually the one thing I'm worried about with this idea. I'm getting tired of the 'government turns out to be corrupt and it's up to our plucky heroes to expose them for the lying liars they are' trope. I wouldn't mind if they did this for a season, but if that's the arc for the entire series, I'm going to get bored with it really fast.

Plus, I've always liked how the Federation, as a whole, has remained close its ideals. They're a nice spot of optimism in my sci-fi!

Of course, that said, I would love it if they created some sort of futuristic parody of the Tea Party (xenophobic, crazed "purists") that tried to get humanity to leave the Federation, and they're the villains for a part of a season.

The way I see it is that after years of war, the Federation has become far too militaristic and close minded, only worried about survival. Now that the wars have ended and a new era of peace has begun, they have to help push the Federation back to its original ideas of exploration and humanitarian aide.

I also read that JJ Abrams has another project he wanted to do first before the sequel which is another reason for the delay

I'd love a new series!

The teaser for the series:

If evil wore the face of a hero, would you recognize it? If freedom came in the likeness of your oppressors, would you accept it? If you were your own enemy, who would be victorious?”

Maybe this means it'll flip around the way we look at good vs evil in the Alpha Quadrant and have a new outlook on the Federation. I'm sure it's changed a lot after years at war with multiple parties.

I personally would love to have it in the not so distant future from Nemesis so we can still see minor recurring rolls from Captain Data, Ambassador Picard, Admiral Janeway, and the return of the emissary!

My only hope is that if they have gays in the series I just hope they don't have them in "Harry Kim" type rolls where absolutely anything negative that happens always happens to them lol

But I'd be happy with any new Star Trek on screen at this point ^_^

I'm gonna roll out a Consular and Sith Inquisitor simply for the versatility and the storylines. I want to do all the Jedi and Sith storylines first; then maybe I'd do a smuggler and a bounty hunter.

Thanks for that. Voted for all. (Greedy)

What if they set it in the mirror universe, after the influence of the good side, a federation may develop there as well. Identical in almost every way, but with the history of the mirror universe maybe it's open to corruption and dictatorship, even while the population feel like they're finally achieving a utopian society?

I'd love any sort of new Star Trek but there's one thing that bothers me...

The series is highly energized with a much younger cast

We already have the Abrams Star Trek (which I loved) with the young cast. Why do we need to go younger with a new series? I actually quite like seeing fully grown adults commanding star ships it's much more realistic and they tend to carry more realistic problems.

I think they're going younger with the series because the new movie was such a hit; they hope to duplicate the success with a new series. I'm sure the Captain will be more mature than the rest of the cast. It worked for TNG; most of those actors were in their 20's when the show premiered.

A minor disappointment with Star Trek was that there weren't enough hot guys- there were handsome guys to be sure- but no one quite "smoking" until Tripp that is ;)

It may be a cliche' but adding sex appeal to a scifi series can really give it a boost in ratings, which unfortunately is all that network execs care about. Voyager did this with the addition of Seven of Nine and Enterprise with T'Pol, and Tripp, and for awhile it worked (I blame the writing for the downfall of Ent). But you can still have young hot actors and really good drama at the same time; look at the new Battlestar Galactica series.

The premise does sound promising and I think the franchise has had enough of us delving into Trek's past. It's very much time to look towards the future like STO does. I, for one am very enthusiastic about this potential series.

Oh hell yeah! Do they have Cornetto's in star trek? :)
