I love Star Trek Star Wars doctor who and even battlestar gallactica. I don't see why you can't like all of them. Being honest I didn't even realise there was this big massive feud with Star Trek and doctor who fans until dalekbuster mentioned it in this thread. I must be living under a rock or something

I'm not trying to provoke, I'm trying to stop the rivalry you see everywhere between the two factions because it's annoying and I don't see why everyone can't get along. As a Whovian, I have no problems with Trekkies yet you even see members of both sides hitting the news for fighting each other at conventions.
Not seen if any of it is going on in this thread but it is time both the fandom I'm part of and Trekkies shaked hands and agree to get along. |

It's much too soon for a new series. At least another decade or more needed to wipe out the stench of the last 2 series & the Abrams movies.
I don't think Abrams was to blame for the movies though; he's a decent director. The real culprits were Orci and Kurtzman who are the worst writers in Hollywood. |

The films have been generally very well received,

Any new series will most likely be a spin off from the films.
I would certainly hope so - in the sense that if we are now OK with the reboot and different timeline then doing something to continue the old timeline would be a bit pointless and really annoying because every mention of anything would have someone piping up about how that never would have happened in the 'original' timeline.

If they did a new series I would like to see something set outside of United Federation.
A rogue crew or maybe a non human crew who have conflict with the way the Federation runs things? |

Prime timeline set after voyager and they will be sorted. They have an established fan base and can call on the old actors every now and then to guest.

I think a new Trek series should be set around the same time period as TNG (not a reboot of TNG) but in the new timeline with an all new Enterprise and crew. Less zoomy in and out cgi shots (they just annoy me for some reason) and more cinematic sweeping shots. No camera shaky fight sequences zoomed in so that you cant see what is happening either. A similar set up of 7 main characters, reusing the Star Trek theme tune and no time travel or time vortex stories (I do particularly like them but feel that they were overdone in Trek). No holodeck and namby pamby Data.
I would prefer a series of 13 episodes to kick off, increasing to a maximum of around 18 for each season afterwards. A defined story arc for each season and an over reaching story arc plan for 5 years. Bookend the series, but allow the characters a chance to shine on the big screen if required. If the series were to follow on the year following the release of the third film, a new Trek series could be on air in 2018/2019 followed by a big screen movie of the new crew in 2026. |

I quite like the idea of a lost star ship ala voyager but without the unesssary filler. I always thought it was a nice idea but poor execution
If I were to do a Trek series, I might follow the marooned ship idea, and would have a Romulan crew member, particularly one like Bochra from The Enemy episode of ST:TNG. I would have him as completely untrustworthy, and morally dubious, a bit like Kerr Avon in Blake's 7. ![]() The other person I would like, perhaps as a gruff First Officer to a young, inexperienced captain, would be David Roberts, the guy who played Captain Roland in The Matrix films, |

If Star trek does return, i hope it has standalone episodes. Too many shows are serialized. Plus past star shows were not arc heavy anyway, apart from DS9 which weaved between arc and standalone.

mostly standalone but occasionally I would like a couple of seasons with a serialized story arc from start to finish. don't think we shud set it in TNG time period. the 24th century already has 3 shows (TNG/ DS9 & VOY). set it 25th century I say or even further in the future. just think of all the crazy technology you could invent. infact one voyager episode I liked was one where they briefly went between the 24th century and 29th century- and you could see what Starfleet looked liked in the 29th century. uniforms and ships had a slightly different look obviously. Jay karnes (the guy from the shield) was in that episode). |

Yeah a mixture of both is good but not entirely arc based. It gets too much. I miss standalone episodes from shows.

I agree. It had the potential to be the best Trek series, [...] just became formulaic Trek but without the heart.

I can see the merit in that as a fairly plausible scenario - though the theme of the experienced sarge guiding the green loo-tenun is a fairly frequently-played one. Doesn't make it wrong, and if done well wouldn't get the accusation worded too unfavourably!Plus I'd be a little hesitant to try and put it too far into the future as we get further and further into 'magic' territory and less about the human experience because it turns into an SFX show with the occasional talking head. Depends on the writing of course. |

I also like the idea of a Romulan on board. If it were a "lost ship" scenario, he could initially be a prisoner, but due to the practicalities of incarceration for the trip home, be assimilated into the crew to assist. That too could be an interesting character arc as he would have a tense relationship with the rest of the crew. I guess "The Maquis" already did this too. All Trekkie fanboy stuff anyway.

I think another campaign like the save enterprise one of late 2005 might work. Back then there was not much to go on but now we have stuff like Netflix that they could launch a Star Trek show on. Base the show in the prime timeline and let the reboots continue as movies.
