New Animated Star Trek In The Works
Philias writes "A new web-based Star Trek Animated Series may be in the works. CBS is considering a pitch by veteran Trek producer Dave Rossi for a 'Clone Wars' style animated series for StarTrek.com. Like Clone Wars the episodes would be just a few minutes long. Unlike the old animated Trek show from the 70s, this one would be with a whole new crew set in a new time period. The setting is to be a war-torn post-9/11-like Trek universe 150 years after the time of Picard." From the post: "The Zero Room team felt that the time was right for a new approach to Trek. The setting is the year 2528 and the Federation is a different place after suffering through a devastating war with the Romulans 60 years earlier. The war was sparked off after a surprise attack of dozens of 'Omega particle' detonations throughout the Federation creating vast areas which become impassible to warp travel and essentially cut off almost half the Federation from the rest. During the war the Klingon homeworld was occupied by the Romulans, all of Andoria was destroyed and the Vulcans, who were negotiating reunification with the Romulans, pulled out of the Federation. The setting may seem bleak and not very Trek-like, but that is where the show's hero Captain Alexander Chase comes in."
Season 1 had promise. Complicated universe, diverse characters, a couple good over-arching plotlines. Some rough edges, but go back and watch season 1 of TNG and it is no worse.
Then they decided to be an action show.
'Sensible' is a curse word.
The REAL Star Trek TAS.

Ever seen Hidden Frontier http://www.hiddenfrontier.com/? Pretty good, considering they put it out for about 500 bucks an episode. It's now in its 7th & final season.
Understanding the scope of the problem is the first step on the path to true panic.

If you care about.. you know.. paying
Even you're even a minor trek fan and enjoy/can tolerate house I recommend tracking
down some Star Pilot on Channel K (S.P.O.C.K), a nifty little Sci-Fi Swedish band.
"Never Trust a Klingon" and "The Trouble with Tribbles" are especially good.
Were that I say, pancakes?
Yep. We can thank Kevin Sorbo for that one. Apparently Robert Hewitt Wolfe made the show "too complicated" for people to understand. Be sure to read the Andromeda Coda: http://www.rhwolfe.com/Coda/Andromeda___Coda.pdf
