Details About New Trek Series?

John B. Random writes "I see that Science Fiction Crowsnest has got it's hands on the leaked details of the new Star Trek show set to replace Voyager, Star Trek Excellent." Stupid name but the plot did actually read interesting.

Star Trek: Plots

[rde]

I'm at the stage where I don't give a shit what they call the series, as long as it doesn't have the following:

Holodeck mishaps that lead to danger and amusing adventures

Technobabble to cover up piss-poor plots

Major Kira

Incredibly powerful technology that's a plot device one week and never mentioned again

Major Kira

A brand-new alien race that's vaguely based on an old earth culture

Episodes written by more than eight people

It'd be cool if

Star Trek aliens had makeup on something more than their faces/necks. I realize this will likely be moderated Flamebait, and so be it, but honestly, I find their aliens/races rather uninteresting.

Furthermore, it seems that they mix at will, and the mixing doesn't do much to produce a more exciting race, and the ony way you can tell the difference is if you watch the show more than once, or memorize all the different tattoes they like to wear. Or their big hair and ridged foreheads (re: Klingons).

I'm not saying Star Trek isn't a good show, because I like it and I used to watch it every day (back in the days when I watched T.V.) but I don't anymore, and I love Star Wars a heck of a lot more than I like Star Trek, maybe because they seem more creative or something.. It couldn't be the fact that their alien races actually look like alien races, or that they have lightsabers, or....

But back on topic, I think this is interesting, and I'd certainly try it out. Yay Star Trek!

The Star Trek series I'd like to see

[Pascal Q. Porcupine]

I'd like to see a ST series based on the Federation at its very beginnings. I mean, most of what happens then is unexplained... TOS covered the Federation when it was already mature, TNG and the first half of DS9 covered a period of stagnation, the second half of DS9 and all of Voyager cover a later period when they've become arrogant and just try to throw better and more expensive toys at every problem... anything set after Voyager would be depressing, anything between TOS and TNG would be boring. But something set between First Contact and TOS would kick ass, IMO. Why did Earth become the center of the Federation? How did people get accustomed to socialistic society? Couldn't have happened overnight... There must have been quite a bit of dissention among the ranks. And so forth.

Just my US$0.02... I haven't read the plot for this 'excellent' series yet, since the server's /.ed.
