Walter Koenig Reprises His Role as Chekov

hords writes "Walter Koenig returns to the role of Lt. Pavel Chekov in an upcoming episode of Star Trek: New Voyages, a fan made series mentioned earlier on Slashdot. He will be re-imagining the role that made him famous. 'The folks from New Voyages approached and we started kicking around ideas for a Chekov story,' said Koenig. 'It occurred to me that what we were coming up with was what every actor dreams of: a second chance to get it right...it is almost beyond comprehension that this is happening so late in my life! Talk about belated reward!...I didn't believe I could ever again be this excited about performing a part...I guess it isn't so trite after all: perhaps, all good things do come to those who wait.' Amazingly enough they even got D.C. Fontana to write the episode!"

Trek that doesn't suck? by ericdano · 2005-08-27 17:43 · Score: 0, Flamebait

Is this to be the fabled Trek series that doesn't suck? I hope so. Next Generation sucked. Deep Space Nine sucked. Voyager was ok. The movies.....sucked.
Maybe if they got Ben Browder on board. Like the new season of Star Gate.....Or maybe Edward James Olmos....

I can barely stand to hear the words Star Trek, I can't imagine how he can.
