star trek between kirk and picard

[slipstream 1985]

im not mega mega trek geek though i know my fair share of star trek material. is there enough scope for a series set between kirks era and picards era? ie the enterprise C era (ambasador class) geek alert! you could even have a tie in with the episode they crossed paths with in the tng? could it be doen without bringing in future events and beings that are not met until tng? or would the temptation be too much?

Probably not imo.

I'd much rather see a series focusing on a more tactical team otherwise it'll just be a rehash of TOS and TNG.

DS9 was my favourite series anyways once the Dominion became involved.

[Watchman]

Going backwards in time with regards to the "canon" has so much potential but was thoroughly ruined with Enterprise where the writing team just had no fresh ideas.

[Streps]

I thought perhaps a uss excelsior series or use Enterprise B

Alot of time between them.

Although star trek has been exhausted of fresh ideas.

There is plenty they could do with a new series of Star Trek, the problem is that you'll end up with the same preachy writers who ruined it.

I'd personally like to see a Klingon series where all the political correctness crap is chucked out the airlock and we see battle after battle with multiple red shirts finding their heads impaled on spikes rather than Picard begging for a peaceful resolution or refusing to exterminate someone because of the Prime Directive

The story of the Enterprise has been told too well really, if you wanted to do something with it you need to look elsewhere in the franchise.

I can forsee making a series with the feeling of "Das Boot". I think that would be awesome.

oooh never thought of that, could even do the romulans, loads of schemeing double and tripple crosses could be alot of fun.

Would be like the Borgias or Game of Thrones in space.

[telecat]

They could try the alternate time line. Sexier and more violent with intrigue galore.

I feel that Star Trek (a bit like Star Wars) they have taken a great idea full of originality and taste, and stretched it and pulled it and rolled it wafer thin until all the taste has gone, all the texture, and what is left is a thin reedy tasteless paste. To be smeared over as much mechanise as possible

Bilbo said it best, "thin, sort of stretched, like butter, scraped over too much bread".

Or a Risa adult series

Or a series showing the Bajoran resistance would be pretty good

i never like the bajorans seemed like a bunch of god squad hippies. even though their gods were actually real
