šŸ–– Star Trek returning to small screens :starfleet:

True Story : When TNG finished Marina Sirtis went off and made a bucket load of porn movies.

Or at least thatā€™s what I wished happened.

Bones was the moral compass of the ship so that would have to be @LouLouMySweet

Scotty technical genius, could make a warp nacelle out of a styrofoam cup and a bit of wet string, got to be Pap

Chekov helmsman and pretty sound guy, ummm Fowlydd??

Bones was a racist, or at least a specist. He didnā€™t like them Vulcans, although heā€™d tell everyone down the pub ā€œIā€™m not specist. Iā€™ve got a Romulan mate.ā€ We know, Bones. We know.

I think Bear should be shipā€™s counsellor, subject to several years of strict supervision to ensure that heā€™s not just turning his counsellorā€™s office into an intergalactic knocking shop.

Bletch is just on all the calls; heā€™ll prevent this Enterprise from spending too many quantum torpedos. I see him in the role of Captain for that reason. I would put myself in the role of feisty first officer, capable but not yet ready to assume the full role of starship command.

SO5 is chief security officer, mostly because heā€™s a tall bastard and I donā€™t think people would mess with him. bTripz can be chief engineer, beavering away in the bowels of the warp chamber.

Barry is to be held in stasis for emergency situations. The Borg proper fucked us at Wolf-359. ā€œSpace Sanchezā€ is the only thing that they cannot assimilate, understand or adapt to. The seminal Borg two-parter that really kicked TNG off, ā€œThe Best of Both Worldsā€, would have been a completely different story if Bazza had been on the Borg cube, spouting his political philosophies and tinkering with random pieces of Borg technology.

Bloody Paps Web. This is now the 3rd time Iā€™ve typed this. So Iā€™m putting it on word then cut & pasting in case it goes boobs up again!

I thought Pap was the Uber Tekkie Geek, but reading his posts on this thread seems I was wrong. Back last year when I was up for a part in the new movie I got followed on Twitter by @TrekCore. I actually thought they were Pap tbh, I mean they Tweet stuff about 10 times a day, birthdays of ex cast members, pictures of Denise Crosby, Behind the scenes stuff about old models of The Enterprise being restored, stuff about new DVD releases and stuff.

So, for months now they have been leading discussions about the new series being on PPV Streaming sites and have put some interesting perspective into it.

The NEW world will be online TV, just maybe ITV hasnā€™t woken up to that yet. CBS like all other legacy Broadcasters NEEDS to have a viable Online Platform or they could become a Dinosaur. Star Trek is not actually about ā€œbringing back the TV Show for us fansā€ it is actually a very clever vehicle to LEAD their penetration of and fight against other OnLine Providers (eg Netflicks, Amazon TV & Hulu)

I mentioned on another thread how Hulu have Stephen King, JJ Abrams, James Franco & Josh Duchamel leading their charge with 11.22.63, well, Star Trek is the CBS version.

In fact, in THAT perspective it makes one :snork: to understand that Amazon TV are relying on Clarkson & Co! J

So first thing that we can guarantee, NOBODY is going to be allowed to fvck up the return of Star Trek to TV, the show HAS to attract ALL Trekkies, old and new as it is the spearhead of a charge into a MultiBILLION dollar market place. (One which tbf the BBC & UK Gov are kind of understanding with the proposed changes to the Beebs charter, just that like everything itā€™s being viewed in the scope of a ā€œUK Marketā€ only not what COULD be done in a global streaming world)

So back to the Series. The Trek Core guys actually have a web site and post stuff very regularly and it IS worth following (if only for pics of Denise)

As for the NEW SHOW ā€“ here is DPā€™s EXCLUSIVE cut & paste teaser ā€œThe Undiscovered Countryā€ ā€“ You read it here first!

ā€œNicholas Meyer Says 2017 STAR TREK Show Will Go ā€œIn a Different Directionā€ In New Interview

Posted March 1, 2016

In a brief new interview with Den of Geek today, returning Star Trek favorite Nicholas Meyer spoke a bit about the upcoming 2017 Trek series, to which he will be joining showrunner Bryan Fuller as a writer and contributing producer.

About his role in the new show:

"I canā€™t tell you anything! I know things. But if I told you, Iā€™d have to kill you.

If Iā€™m lucky, Iā€™ll get to write episodes. If Iā€™m less lucky, Iā€™ll just get to sit in that room with all those other clever peopleā€¦ Iā€™m waiting for them to tell me [when to go to work]!

Iā€™m hoping the reason I was invited to do this was connected to ā€” presumably ā€” something I would have to offer. Whether that is the case, or whether itā€™s recognized when it happens remains to be seen. Iā€™m not a silver bullet."

On the nature of the new seriesā€™ story opportunities:

"I think itā€™s going to be a different ā€˜Star Trek.ā€™ It will go in a different direction. And I think that is probably good.

Because the thing that mainly troubles me about ā€˜Star Trekā€™ is the fear of it being maybe re-treads of itself. And to the degree that I had any influence on the [franchise] at all was that at least while I was there, we were fooling around. And if youā€™re not fooling around, then things can become stale.

I think that Bryan [Fuller] ā€” who is a very clever fellow ā€” has ideas ā€” some of which Iā€™ve heardā€”that are innovative and different. Different is what got me interested.

Meyer did have one cryptic thing to say about the ā€œtaking-off pointā€ of the new showā€™s narrative, but he cautious about any specifics:

ā€œThe one thing I can relate to you is that ā€˜The Undiscovered Countryā€™ ā€” according to Bryan ā€” is a real sort of taking off point, or touchstone for how I guess heā€™s thinking about the direction of the new show. I donā€™t want to be misquoted and I donā€™t want to misquote him, but heā€™s fond of that film. Letā€™s put it that way.ā€

Of course, that last statement will surely set off an explosion of speculation and assumptions about the direction the new series may take ā€“ anything from filling in the sixty years between Star Trek VI and the launch of the Enteprise-D in ā€œEncounter at Farpointā€ ā€“ but Meyer was obviously being careful to stay ambiguous before anything solid has been set in place.ā€

I think itā€™d be a mistake to do any kind of prequel series.

We want new adventures, the TNG lot are still around for guest spots (perhaps not Data, eh?). I hope theyā€™re talking themes, rather than time period.

i liked star trek voyager. Iā€™ve prob seen at least 10 complete episodes of Star Trek Voyager, whereas all the other star treks Iā€™ve only watched i.e. 20 mins here or there. They should make the new one to be like Star Trek Voyager. It was really good. It had Captain Strangeways, and the funny Doctor Man who was Hologram, and it had the Borg Woman with the Big Tits. It was best one by far srs.

I also liked Enterprise, a bit. You had Captain Quantum Leap, and the funny Doctor Man who was Alien, and it had the Vulcan Woman with the Big Tits. It was almost as good as Voyager srs

Edit:

I also like how pap borrowed the theme tune to do his opening credits for papsweb:

I also liked Star Trek Next Generation. It had Captain Bald, and the Funny Doctor Man who was Woman, and it had the Empath Woman with the Big Tits. It wasnā€™t as gd as Voyager, or Enterprise, but it was quite gd srs.

I also liked Star Trek Original. It had Captain Kirk, and the Funny Doctor Man who was Drunk, and it had the Translater Woman with the Big Arse. It wasnā€™t quite in same league as Voyager, or Enterprise, or Star Trek Next Generations, but it was quite gd for itā€™s day srs

What Iā€™m saying really, is that the New Star Trek needs to have a Captain Distinctive, a Funny Doctor Man, and a Woman with Big Tits. Donā€™t mess with winning formula pls!

Genius (not seen before) :lou_lol:

I need to go back to my Bob Goblin avatar

Rod Roddenberry has joined on as a producer. Heā€™s been involved with some unofficial Trek before, such as the New Voyages fan made show, but his main attribute would seem to be the fact he sprung forth from Gene Roddenberryā€™s loins.

I like the fact that Gene named his son Rod as a life challenge ā€¦ ā€œYes iā€™m Rod Roddenberryā€

So much so you didnā€™t fact check that fact :lou_wink_2:

Credited as Eugene Roddenberry Jr in earlier works.

Those Credits are amazing - awesome work :))) Got quite emotional watching that.

Bit disturbing that Bear has so many photos of sad looking kids on his hard drive, but there you go

I had a tweet conversation with Jeri Ryan a couple of weeks ago. Therefore I know here and we are practically dating.

Voyager was a brilliant show once it got going. Didnā€™t really like all the Kaison stuff and Neelix was annoying as hell ( bar rodent). A few shit episodes ( fairhaven) and some really brilliant ones ( scorpion) and I thought the finale was bloody great. DS9 will always be my fave though. I know a lot of people didnā€™t like it but I thought the main story arc was clever and well told

As for what role Iā€™d play in Papsweb the next generation. I really canā€™t think of an equivalent.

Someone who has been around for a while and leaves virtually no impression. The sort of person that would turn up at a comicon or a signing and most people would go ā€˜ohā€™

Think Gunther in Friends, Stewart in the big bang theory, Ringo in the Beatles or Vergard Forren at Saints

DS9 rocked once they bought Worf and the Derfiant in, oh and sped up the music in the opening credits and made them more funky.

Then they could have the battle with the aliens in the Gamma quadrant whose names escape me completly at the moment.

Bearsy forgot to mention Jadzia Dax the hot female/male alien (they were after all a symbiotic species) that had ambiguous clevage attributes, she is the one on the left in the below image.
