New, Canon-Faithful Star Trek Series Is In Pre-Production
An anonymous reader writes "Star Trek veterans such as Walter Koenig (Pavel Chekov), Tim Russ (Tuvok), Robert Picardo (the Doctor) and others are busy in pre-production of a professionally produced pilot episode for a suggested new online Star Trek series named Star Trek: Renegades, which will be faithful to the original Star Trek canon. The events of the series are placed a decade after Voyager's return from Delta Quadrant. When the pilot is complete, they'll present it to CBS in the hopes that it'll be picked up. They have also opened an Indiegogo campaign, seeking more funds from Star Trek fans to help make the production even more professional. They've already reached their primary funding goal."
I think it is safe to say that they'll mostly ignore Enterprise, just like everybody else on Earth.
I read the internet for the articles.
If you think that's bad, you should try being a Doctor Who fan.
Don't, worry, I've got you covered! And here, take one, too!
It is pretty hard to ignore Enterprise. Holy shit - that one had T'pal on it. Ignore her? Not a chance. Hell of a hottie.
After locating the nuclear wessels (a Russian inwention), Psi-cop Alfred Bester finds a way to travel back to the 1980's and muck with Khan Noonien Singh's head (explaining why Khan recognized Chekov on Ceti Alpha V).

They could really screw with everybody and produce a timeline in which Richard Woolsey is frozen after getting seriously injured defending Earth from a replicator attack, the Stargate program is abandoned and forgotten about per an IOA mandate, and Woolsey ends up being discovered on a distant planet by the Enterprise.

I kept wondering why in the 'verse they'd ever bother with ships again. They can beam across space to other planets without that pesky years-in-hard-vacuum bit in the middle.
Transwarp makes negotiations easier, too:
"Captain Awesome, the Klingon ambassador demands--"
*teleporter sounds*
"I beamed him into the sun. What's his successor want?"

Ah yes, Enterprises' T'pol, famous from such unforgetable episodes as "T'pol rubbing some stuff on herself in the decontamination chamber", "Somebody else rubbing stuff on T'pol in the decontamination chamber" and "Could this decontamination chamber scene be any more suggestive and puritanical at the same time?".

Yes. Except I heard they will be keeping red shirts for some of the minor characters in the landing parties.
Just for Esprit de Corpse...
Oh my...
Sure, but when your typical oldster starts talking about how optimistic TOS was he really means naive.
We're dealing with a Betazoid over here.

Ooh. I know this. The probe destroys Earth, and all the whales leave, saying, "So long and thanks for all the fish." No, wait.

Based on the preview I think that the intro is going to go something like this:
In 2972 , a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum-security stockade to the Sol system. Today, still wanted by the Federation, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem...if no one else can help...and if you can find them...maybe you can hire...The Renegades
