Exciting, but not holding my breath now that paramount is merging with sky :/

    How about, and hear me out on this…give us a good, well written series and ease off in the callbacks and blatant shameless fan service. If you feel so compelled to do that era, give us a compelling show about the Earth Romulan War, with new characters on a new ship and a new crew with the occasional rare cameo.

    This doesn’t mean make Reed the captain with Sato as his first officer and Mayweather as the second officer with Phlox and T’Pol showing up every other episode, constantly contacting Archer, and directly referencing Enterprise episodes every 4-7 minutes while featuring a young Sarek who becomes a regular cast member in season 2 and oh look ancestors of Kirk and Riker…

      Everyone is always focused on a new ship and crew. DS9 proved you don’t need that to make a great Trek.

      A well written show about how the Admiralty handles this early situations like the Earth Romulan War on a larger scale, that then sometimes dives down into those early Startleet officers trying to handle those directly would be a unique perspective really only DS9 and a handful of scenes in SNW sort of scratched the surface with.

        We are yet to get an admirality based show also. War time admirals show please. Fighting on two fronts, problems with politicians. Home front and civil liberties issues. Weapons development and labs. Intelligence failures, double agents, and insurgencies. All set in the trek Universe.

        That sounds fantastic. No way it’ll happen!

      How about you do a new show in the TNG / DS9 timeline, PLEASE.

      New crew, new ship, none of the lens flares, no dumb pew pew pew, have intelligently written episodes, focus on positivism which we all need… Make real star trek again!

      Take a lootk at “The Orville”, especially season 2. THAT is what I want, that is great star trek. Please please please!
