Babylon 5 Creator Pitches Trek

Posted by simoniker on from the fanboy-drool dept.

pdawerks writes "According to Sci-Fi Wire, Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski told fans on a B5 Usenet group that he and Dark Skies creator Bryce Zabel have put together an idea for a new Star Trek series, which he said would revive the ailing franchise. 'I got together [with Zabel] and wrote a treatment earlier this year that specified how to save [Star Trek] and develop a series that would restore the series in a big way,' Straczynski wrote. 'I actually think it could be a hell of a show. Whether that ever goes anywhere with Paramount, who knows?'"

    Babylon 5? Trite concept. And the dialog? So fucking dull. I mean - cliche after cliche.

    So yeah, he's ready to take over Star Trek and keep churning out drivel.

    Here's a good course of action:

    1. cancel the shows that are still on
    2. destroy any archives of them
    3. force Trekkies to move out of their parent's house
    4. get said Trekkies some v-to-the-gina.
    5. ?????
    6. Profit!
