I always thought an anthology series would be cool. Different characters each week, anybody can die.

A Romulus story during the Romulan War. Charlie Evans' early life on Thasus or his later life there. Spock's childhood, no time travel required. O'Brien & Stumpy serving under Captain Maxwell. Sarek's first trip to Earth. Young Harry Mudd adventures. Captain Pike's Academy days. The EMH from the distant future trying to get back to Earth.

There are hundreds of ideas. Just crack open your Star Trek Chronology or Star Trek Encyclopedia & think of a few!

The EMH from the distant future trying to get back to Earth.

But.... I thought the EMH did make it back too Earth in the last Ep of Voyager???   :huh:   :huh:   :huh:

An interesting suggestion for a Star Trek Show, but it would require a lot of Actors too play there parts in the past.  And didn't the guy that played Surak in Star Trek die a few years ago?

The Backup module for the EMH was stolen by a Delta Quadrant species.  Centuries after they stole it, the finally figured out how to activate it.  By that time their version of what had happened when they stole the module had been greatly distorted, and they didn't even know what they had until the EMH showed up.  After correcting the distortion, the EMH served as the planet's Surgeon General before retiring, purchasing a ship, and heading off after Voyager.  We're probably looking at a 34th Century Federation by the time he gets there.

Wow!  There are a few eps of Voyager I missed, and I think this might have been one of them.  Feel sorry for the Doctor, seems like he is always running into unfortunete situations.

Actually was a pretty well done episode, if you didn't mind seeing Voyager and Co. portrayed as heartless savages.  See...the people that stole the Back-up Module and other things (even a Photon Torpedo) were petty thugs, who eventrually came to power after Voyager had moved on.  When the Doctor corrected the Lies...the house of cards fell apart.

Hmm.... I guess I would have too try too see this Ep of Voyager then.  I did see one ep once where some "Thugs" (I don't know what exactly they were, a few Delta Quadrant Races impersonating a few of the Voyager crew, and were doing it quite poorly) were taking advantage of Voyagers Situation and stealing stuff.  Was this the same group?  This race that had the EMH, what were some of the "lies" that they thought Voyager did?

I'll tell you the problem with Trek right now. .... The hierarchy, the pseudo-military feel, the navy in space. the same old dialogue again and again. "Set course". "Engage". "Fire photon torpodoes". Yada Yada Yada. .

You may be on to something.  For a long time, popular scifi seems to say that in the future, the military/govt will be in charge.  Thats where the stories seem to come from.

I don't know, is the Matrix Trilogy really just an "Anime" type Film??

No, because Matrix was good, and anime is utter crap. ;)

The ideal new Star Trek series should be set in the mid 2160's, when the UFP is only a few years old and finding its feet. Obviuously there'd be no Romulans because they'd been defeated in 2160 and gone away for a century long sulk until the "Balance of Terror" TOS episode.

Then again, ENT ended only a year short of the Earth - Romulan War kicking off, and did show the build up of tensions between Earth and The Romulan Star Empire, due to Star Fleet's interference in Romulan plans to cause a war between Andor and Tellar, letting them fight it out and then annexing both of them.

If there is a new Star Trek movie or mini-series, then it should be set during the Romulan War. It would certainly parallel some of the space battles in BSG with all the salvoes of "Atomic Missiles" flying around.

They did leave ENT hinting at the coming War!!

The Klingons have many ways to fry a cat. I prefer to use an L7 Fast Battlecruiser!!

Seeing as this thread was a year and a half dead when hit with the paddles, is it possible that what someone originally thought was rumor of a new Trek series was actually rumor of the new Trek movie?

what i have herd is that they have 2 more movies planned (and i may be rong in this) the 1st will be out some time in 2008 and will be a preqeul of the TOS with Kirk and Spak at Star fleat academy (which i think will be sh*t mainly cos i hate preqeuls) an im not sure about the 2nd iv also been told that the will be NO MORE star trek series because of the slow decent of ratings)
which was made obvious by the last star trek series

TNG - 7 series
DS9 - 7 series
STV - 7 series
Enterprise - 4 series

Even the last movie did poor comperd the the last ones like 1st contact & Gens
altho god bless it for bringing the scimitar into the star trek games

Alot of those ideas are awesome!  I really like the Idea of a Klingon Civil War.  Maybe that's what Star Trek needs... Do a different race. Klingon or Romulan based show.

Or along that line do a series set in the alternate timeline created by the Enterprise C when it disappeared into the time rift of "Yesterday's Enterprise"  Finally a Federation/Klingon TMP/Pre-TNG war. Blasted Organians.

I like the idea of a Klingon based series, say during the Klingo-Romulan War.  I can see it now:  The ship is an old D-7c w/ a pair of expendable gunboats.  In the series premier, you just borrow a huge chunk from The Cain Mutiny.  Substitute prunes (loot taken from a smuggler) for strawberries, it's a great incident in the book, and have the captain make a complete *** (donkey) of himself.  In battle, the captain shows cowardice, and the first officer kills him with her knife.
    With the new captain, the ship is reassigned to the Federation boarder.  They violate Federation space all through the series, but during the premier, they capture a smuggler with some wonderful Romulan loot, including cloaking devices.  The smuggler happens to be human, and since his ship was confiscated, he is given the choice between enlisting in the Klingon Deep Space Fleet, and walking home.
     The Smuggler makes friend with a Romulan, who enlisted in much the same way, and the two are constantly trying to escape.  The Klingons primary mission is to keep the Federation sufficiently intimidated as not to open a second front, i.e, "Peace through strength."  This allows a nice view of humanity from an alien perspective.  I think it could be suspenseful and hilarious.  Did I mention violent?  Ooh, Yeah!  Lots of starships, too!
