New Star Trek Series

[Mr. Carnelian]

Honestly, I'm not looking forward to this.

The last Star Trek series - Star Trek: Enterprise - was BAD.

They'll probably follow the movie continuum, seeing as that's where all the new fans will be starting from. But, in that continuum, did ANY of the events that took place in any of the other series happen? If not, I worry that they'll just take that as an excuse to replay the same scenarios, meaning a lot of rehashing of old stories and plotlines.

I like the Doctor in Voyager in fairness. It's just when Voyager was bad, it was REALLY bad.

That much was true, yeah.

It's being headed by the guy who worked on both new Star Trek movies, so it's pretty much a given that it's going to be set in the new universe. I can't imagine they're going to continue the old one with him. What you said is pretty much Into Darkness in a nutshell. While I enjoyed the movie, they had the chance to do anything they wanted and they opt to remake Wrath of Khan instead.

I like them all No hate in this starfleet.

Even Star Trek V?

[Freya]

I love anything with TOS! Movies included! They're so silly and entertaining.

It takes a lot for me to hate things. Heck, I thought even twilight had good cinematography.

I liked TNG okay and Voyager I am liking okay. HATED DS9 though. Even thinking of it in retrospect makes my skin crawl. The series is just overall not my type of show but I like some of it more than others, I guess

I heard a rumor that Ira Steven Behr is interested in working on it so I hope that happens because my body is ready for Deep Space Nine Two: Electric Boogaloo

This will be glorious if it happens.

As long as Rick Berman and Brannon Braga (the blokes responsible for the worst parts of Voyager, Enterprise and the TNG movies) or Roberto Orci (the crazier writer for the reboot movies) have nothing to do with it, there could be some real potential.

Today's TV writing styles would suit Trek well: major story arcs, serious character development, and real consequences to actions and decisions. All of Voyager, and the first half of Enterprise lacked all of those, and both shows really suffered as a result. If it's done right, there could just be a truly great Star Trek show once again.

Or it could go horribly wrong and be pure poo that gets cancelled after half a season. Honestly, it could end up going either way. I'm going to keep my expectations low, but I'll still look forward to it in the hopes that it'll turn out awesome.
