Star Trek 11 sounded pretty awesome. Seeing the Enterprise-E, the Defiant 2, and the Voyager all on the big screen together fighting to save Riker sounds like one badass movie.
Would have watched Star Trek: Excelsior in a heartbeat.
Yep, the world is a much worse place because we didn't get excelsior
me too. would have loved to see Taekei in his own spinoff as lead character, buuuuuut..... hollywood is a bitch 🙁
@@jamiegjesdal7463 Hollywood is racist! Let's face it! Asians rarely have their own television shows unless they make them!
Definetely would have been an interesting series. Documenting the burgeoning Fed/Klingon alliance. Maybe the Romulans could have made some sneaky appearances trying to derail it. Or maybe the early years of the Father of Duras too? A smattering of new discoveries and races all wrapped up in the sleek, elegant Excelsior. What a shame. Unfortunately, by the time of Generations, the Excelsior had already become obsolete with the Enterprise B being launched. Maybe a show should have been based on that ship instead.
Ditto! If you haven't yet, you should read Michael A. Martin's "Excelsior: Forged in Fire". It would have made a great tv miniseries imo.
Star Trek: Excelsior. With Chekov as Sulu’s 1st Officer...I would’ve been all in for that.
Finally give Chekov something to do.
Walter Koenig ended up on Babylon 5!
@@fragalot Yes he did, and he was fantastic in that role. But that wasn't Chekov.
@@Kastagaar yep true.. probably better than Chekov since he faked that Russian accent.
Yes Omega Psi Ops. Alfred. Babylon 5 great show.
I really wanted Star Trek: Excelsior. I went to a convention in 1993 I believe and George was the speaker and he joked about getting his own show or movie on the Excelsior. When I went to get his autograph I told him that he really should get his own show and that I used to pretend I was him when my cousin and I played at Star Trek as kids. He told me, "You're a man of good taste." I'll never forget that. 100% top notch guy.
You missed one...Assignment:Earth, which was to be a spy series loosely set in the Star Trek universe as spy series's were also popular back in the 1960's. This one actually got the CLOSEST of all of them to being commissioned, all the way to ACTUALLY MAKING the backdoor pilot episode, which was called, interestingly enough, "Assignment:Earth" which aired as part of Star Trek TOS' second season...yes, THIS is the one with the time-travelling spy Gary Seven and his shapeshifting cat! Sadly...this also got passed up when it came to a full series treatment, so, all we have of Gary Seven's fantastic time-travelling missions to preserve the proper timelines would be what we saw in the EPISODE "Assignment:Earth"...
Such a shame...
Their biggest mistake was not letting Sulu have his own show. I think it could have been incredible.
Same here, i've always said it was a huge mistake not giving fans a Captain Sulu series featured on the U.S.S. Excelsior!
I agree, I'd have watched it
I would have watched it as well.
@@berthachavez439 I also would've watched a Star Trek series that centered around the Enterprise-B, especially if there were episodes in which Captain Sulu made guest appearances
I defiantly would have watched it. Sulu, he star of the show
, Other guys just along for the ride...
So, Star Trek: Federation is basically Andromeda.
That's what I was thinking...
Seems like season 3 of Discovery to me.
@@emilianoshort seems like season 3 of Discovery might have borrowed from Andromeda.
Doesn't matter, still Roddenberry.
imagine Kevin Sorbo in the Star Trek universe... (maybe cast lucy lawless as ship's counselor?)
@@user-vu2zh8pv2r multiverse crossover lol
I wouldn’t mind seeing that Star Trek medical show. Honestly I want any typical tv troupe mixed with Star Trek. Like a Star Trek procedurally cop show, legal drama, situational comedy, even a StarTrek show focused on the supernatural. All of these are legit things I want
Hahahaha Dean and Sam Winchester in Star Trek, I Love It!!
I think a Star Trek Xfiles makes sense. The character types should fit right in, you can even have organizations pulling strings from the shadows.
You can even do a low budget Star Trek political show.
Robert T I’m being totally serious when I say that I’d watch StarFleet J.A.G which does exist in universe
Cross-genre shows are tricky, they require strong cast, strong writers, and strong budget to pull off. A Star Trek sci-fi medical military legal drama western vampire opera comedy show is not impossible, but it is unlikely. It's also hard to shoehorn into Star Trek's classic episodic format.
"Fly her apart then!" Sulu would have been a brilliant show. He could have easily have been the second best captain in cannon (behind Kirk of course).
I doubt he'd settle for that.... USS Ego or nothing for Mr Sulu!
Why in a cannon and not in the captain's chair?
That scene where Sulu said, "Fly her apart then..." and the leading up to it moments, is one of my favorites. Mr. Takei performed that so well in character, that it REALLY showed the respect that "Sulu" had for his former commander, Capt. Kirk. an excellent delivery of a line.
That Star Trek 11 sounds like the greatest thing ever. Pure fanservice.
And we'd have loved it
Has anyone mentioned that there were three Captain Sulu audio adventures - Transformations, Cacophony and Envoy? I had them on audiotape a long time ago and they must still be in my storage somewhere. I can’t remember much about them but I remember enjoying them.
tbh... i cried when Data sacrificed himself. i was so crushed that i walked out of the cinema and then i got drunk to forget what i just saw
Right it sure would have. I remember saying the cant end it like that with Data.
Bring back Data and Sisko better endings for both.
And it’s pretty obviously that Paramount has actually the biggest enemy to the StarTrek franchise. Well Paramount and J.J. Abrams
and Viacom and Les Moonves formally of CBS
Ruufus De Leon whenever I hear about les moonves I always picture the Moonvest from 30rock which was a crazy old man which is pretty much the same thing
No, the clowns over at CBS currently ruining the franchise make Paramount look like good stewards.
more like CBS,. Poison
Star Trek Excelsior would have been so good. Of all these ideas that's the one that I miss the most.
Captain Sulu stole "The Undiscovered Country" from everyone else and should have had his own show.
Hikaru Sulu: There is a sense of loyalty to the men and women you serve with, a sense of family. Those two men on trial... I served with them for a long time. I owe them my life a dozen times over. And right now they're in trouble, and I'm going to help them. Let the regulations be DAMNED!
Hikaru Sulu: In range?
Helmsman Lojur: Not yet sir.
Hikaru Sulu: Come on! come on!
Helmsman Lojur: She'll fly apart!
Hikaru Sulu: FLY HER APART THEN!!!
"Target that explosion and fire!"
Oh my
@Werewolf O. London, Esq. I came here to say exactly this. You beat me to it. Well played, sir.
The hot shapeshifter on the klingon prison mion stole the show...
I am surprised Star Trek: Worf wasn't mentioned. Michael Dorn has gone to mention many times he pitched this to CBS
It was turned down because the make-up budget would have been ridiculous.
To my understanding, it never got very far. He was concentrating on ideas that were fairly close to happening.
I could see that as another good series. Worf is a leading role actor/character.
JJ Abrams has quite the rep as the destroyer of franchises.
Yup, we know!
True
Jar Jar Flareboy Abrams
So why aren’t these videos called Warpculture?
Immediately upon seeing Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, I thought for sure that they were setting up a Star Trek: Excelsior series with Captain Sulu in the big chair. Even the final shot of Sulu saying farewell had his bridge crew standing behind him like they were posing for a publicity shot.
Some of these other ideas might have been interesting too, like a medical frigate, an ambassadorial ship, etc.
Discovery Season 3 is starting to sound an awful lot like “Federation”
Which also sounds like like Gene roddenberry's Andromeda
all that is missing is an seemingly inept descendant of Captain Kirk in command, who turns out to be a great captain
Kurtzman era trek does that a lot. Then it also "borrows" from other sci fi as well.
Would have loved a series with Sulu as the captain.
Oh my
Would still watch. Get Takei into the chair, even if its late in his career and he's a semi-retired Captain called back into service.
Would even accept if it he's the recurring Admiral in a new show.
@@andromidius - I gotta say, I agree with you!
I heard rumors about "Star Trek: Worf" a few years back.
The highlight of "Star Trek Worf" would have been Worf addressing a ship Captain with " What do you want?".
"Devil's due" was one of my favorite episodes. The Klingon God of dishonor was my personal favorites. Feklor, the God of Dishonor.
Star Trek: Continues Fan series actually did finish the USS Enterprise 5 year mission.
And did a great job
What is it called?
I’m waiting for Adam to do a video on what a TrekCulture Star Trek show would look like.
Quinton Wilde YES
YES YES YES PLEASE
11:25- 12:25 that's the setting for Andromeda Ascendant, 300 years after the fall of the commonwealth one captain tries to reunite the member worlds. later joined by the great great grandson of the original first officer.
The two TNG episodes based on Star Trek: Phase II scripts were "The Child" from Season 2 (when Troi mysteriously becomes pregnant) and "Devil's Due" in Season 4 (where the Picard and the Enterprise get involved in a dispute where a planet is prepared to give up its independence to a "demon" for supposedly saving them from disaster). The first one was mediocre (but that was true of many of the first two season episodes, especially after the writers' strike before Season 2 which forced them to recycle the Phase II script), but "Devil's Due" is great fun (sadly, while I was looking this up, I found that the beautiful and talented Marta DuBois, who did a wonderful job as the ersatz demon, passed away prematurely in 2018).
Another great one and with all the time travel going around they could bring back the Husnuck that dreadnought was awesome. And the armament on it so much more powerful plus they do a ship scale camera angle. I believe its called Who Watches The Watchers.
One more where its guy and I believe its Brent Spiner in a double role claims he is a professer from the future.
And The Drumhead especially with whats going on.
@@danielcostanza4628 No, that was sci-fi icon Matt Frewer ("Max Headroom", "The Stand", "Eureka", "Watchmen" (the movie), "Falling Skies" and more other memorable properties than I have time to list) as Berlinghoff Rasmussen in the TNG Season 5 episode "A Matter of Time".
I got really excited by the mention of "Star Trek: Federation", until I realized it WASN'T the novel by Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens...that book would have made an INCREDIBLE film, had ST: First Contact not blasted it out of continuity less than two years after it was published.
I think you missed the very first failed spinoff, Assignment Earth (Gary 7)
That did get made, though. At least the backdoor pilot.
@@MazeThePlaya Yes, the backdoor pilot was made but it still failed to get a full series treatment...thus, imho, a failed spin-off regardless...
@@MazeThePlaya But it didn't get picked up as it's own series, so it at least deserves a mention, let alone equal standing to Phase II and Exceclsior.
I think at the time of " Assignment Earth ", " Dr.Who" was a big thing in England, and this spin off would have been hard to sell, so it became just a Star Trek episode.
@@johnbockelie3899 they were reaching for that Who cash on purpose. Hence the Servo/sonic screwdriver
Would like to see Kirk's academy days with Finnegan constantly pranking "grim" Kirk.
You never know, there might be hints of it in the new Pike series (later seasons mind you) if they feature the academy at all, could also sneak in Carol Marcus too.
And Gary Mitchell setting up dates for him! 😉😁
@@shibolinemress8913 That "little blonde" Kirk almost married🤣👍
@@Chuck_Hooks You got it! 😁👍
Was expecting to hear about "Captain Worf" should have been an honorable mention
ba dum bum
Should've had the card read: 'SULU: A Star Trek Story'.
This guy looks like he just rolled out of bed 😂
3:00 Now that is a warped Enterprise 😂
I was at a Trek convention in the mid-'90s that George Takei attended while he was making the rounds trying to get fan support for a show starring him. But fan enthusiasm for the plan just wasn't there.
Star Trek: Excelsior would have been neat.
I have the feeling that we are going to see something from Star Trek Federation ...in Star Trek Discovery III. I wish the fan films weren't a kind of banned ( severely restricted) as some of these ideas were picked up by fans and produced actually awesome series.
All I could think when I started this video was, "Is Adam just not combing his hair anymore?" You do you though
We were going to get all 3 captains mixing they're crews to have one huge big budget adventure in star trek 11...and the only reason that it didnt get made, was because nemesis failed....it failed because the fans didnt show up for it, due to fatigue from enterprise....so the thing the fans have always wanted, we dont get because of ourselves. Damn that cuts deep lol
I would have loved a well made Captain Sulu series.
So Star Trek: Federation is where they got the premise for Discovery season 3? (Replacing a Kirk descendent with Spock's time-displaced adopted sister)
Uhm, Star Trek did do an animated series first: It was called Star Trek: The Animated Series.
Like others, would of loved to see Star Trek Excelsior with the very friendly and likeable Sulu as Captain of the ship. Heck I would not mind if it lasted at least one season, would of been better then nothing. The best we got is a fan project of a sort of origin/pilot episode of an idea what the series would of been like.
The best we can hope for these series most of the time is fanfictions, maybe with some artwork/images.
Anyone else think that Star Trek: Federation seems to have a lot in common with the teasers we've seen for Discovery season 3?
Yup.
ME
Besides it’s not StarTrek
@@hansmeyer7225 oh Lord
MazeThePlaya Not the Lord but the great bird of the galaxy!
I would loved if they had gone ahead with Star Trek Phase II. I guess it was for the best they didn't otherwise we never would of seen the return of Khan.
I always envisioned Khan being a guest character on Phase II. I also envisioned David Marcus and Saavik eventually showing up as regular characters on that show along with Decker and Ilia.
At least Paramount learned one thing: never give Shatner creative freedom after Star Trek 5 told you why.
If we didn't have Star Trek V we wouldn't have the marshmallow dispenser.
They cheated Bill on his movie because they cutout most of the special effects from the end of his movie, they filmed and had a fantastic ending until it gets left on the cutting room floor, spent all that money and then didn't even use any of it!!!!!!!!!!
@@jamieking8011 and rocket Spock!
Remember William Shatner only directed this film because of his contract, that stated basically whatever Leonard Nimoy did so William Shatner would do, and vice a versa. wanted to use ILM for the effects and was told he could have them, once filming had started Paramount told shatner he'll have to find his own special effects team, then throughout the filming started changing his script. To the point Shatner complained why are they only doing this for his film and not Nimoy's. An ex worker for Paramount said they were willing to take a lose on Star Trek V just so Shatner wouldn't direct Star Trek VI. Besides TNG First Contact, I prefer all the original crews movies to any that have come out since.
Where’s your cup of “Earl Grey, hot” Adam? BTW, another Harlan Ellison script could have saved any of the other spinoffs.
Some network actually did release a series identical to 7. Hope Ship. It was called "Mercy Station" I think. The protagonist was played by Joe Morton.
"Mercy Point"
I remember talk about Star Trek Academy in the 90's. The fans were NOT in favour.
Hopeship might have been not bad idea. I imagine it would be like Casualty crossed with Thunderbirds but in space.
Adam: "THIS is the future THIS is that video!"
RUclips: Immediate commercial break
...I swear it's listening to you
Excelsior could have been great. It's kinda what we need, a new crew on a new ship off on some adventures.
I could see Excelsior working quite well as a series. And I remember as a teenager actually looking forward to Phase II and being disappointed when they announced the Motion Picture instead. I even remember watching the first three movies and imagining characters like Decker, Ilia, David & Carol Marcus and Saavik being a part of the Phase II series. One that you didn't mention that I thought would be a terrific series was Assignment: Earth. I think Robert Lansing and Teri Garr had great chemistry together, and I believe a sort of Star Trek Meets Mission: Impossible show would have been fun to watch.
Star Trek federation sounds a bit like Andromeda.
thought the same
Great video. I totally forgot about some of these
Out of curiosity, I looked up the Star Trek Academy Collision Course book that you said was released to "almost universal derision." On every site where the book is sold or listed, including Goodreads, it has a rating of four or five stars. How on earth do you interpret that as near universal derision?
I've been watching Star Trek since 1966 and I find your comments . . . . Spot ON!
Sulu made an excellent Captain and I would have loved it if they had expanded on his adventures instead of just more Shat - man.
Clery is hillarious, always cracks me up, at least once per video 😂, gives me laughs, ... go Trek Adam go !
here and in Whatculturewrestling
Funny thing, I was blasted away by Takei's performance in ST6 and Voyager even before I have ever seen him in TOS. Captain Sulu rivals Kirk imho and I would have loved a series based on him.
Excelsior would've been awesome - also possibly a Star Trek show that focuses more on Section 31
They should’ve did that movie with Captain Riker and all the other Captains (Janeway, Picard, and Sisko) looking for him. We love cameos.
Great video yet again Adam. Keep up the great content 💪
I wish I never that "Star Trek XI" was going to be a thing. I feel so cheated now. Picard, Sisko, Janeway and their crews in the same movie?? Oh, the missed opportunity....
Damn you, "Star Trek: Nemesis"!
That move should have been made instead of Nemesis
The other TNG episode that used a Phase II script/story was the season 2 premiere, The Child.
Ah, Star Trek Phase II...the Trek that could have been. Trek would have been way different had they proceeded.
🖖
Yep, recycled from phase II because of the 1988 writers guild strike which screwed TNG season two...
Okay I have never been a big fan of J.J. Abrams, but screw that guy!
Star Trek 11 sounds amazing and I think I probably would enjoy Star Trek New Hope. I kind of hate that we didn't get this. Star Trek Federation that's basically the plot of a I'm Gene roddenberry's Andromeda
Excellent video! Thank you!
There was actually 3 episodes of "Star Trek: Phase II" that became episodes of TNG:
Devil's Due
The Child
Angel One
Plus, the Vulcan character, which was a replacement for Spock, his character was reworked into Lt. Commander Data
Another great video. You guys are absolutely right Star Trek will take and recycle stuff a hundred times before you see it. Star Trek Federation sounds just like what it's going to be going on in Star Trek Discovery season 3 and they been kicking that idea around for a while. But I'm looking forward to it.
I seem to remember that in the late 90’s there was a 3D IMAX film that was going to feature O’Brien.
There were also episodes, like for TOS, which were never filmed. One was 'He Walked Among Us'. The Enterprise arrives at the planet Jugal, which has more advanced technology than it should. A former Starfleet Scientist Bayne Berle crashed on the planet 6 years before and used his knowledge to advance the planet's development by a thousand years. He was thus advanced to god-like status. Kirk must remove him without plunging the planet into chaos. It was the first time there was the concept of humans using advanced technology to set themselves up as deities. There were TOS episodes along those lines anyway.
Another intended episode was where they return to the planet in 'A Piece of the Action'.
There was one in which a scientist re-creates the accident that separated Kirk in two and made a human Spock and a Vulcan Spock. It reminds me of that book I read, 'Spock must die' by James Bliss.
And, of course there are episodes of the intended 4th season of TOS. Some of them were used in the animated series, nicknamed the forgotten series, and so on.
.......so your saying J.J.Abrams is the Star Trek version of Jar-Jar Binks?
star jar binks!!!
OMG, someone at Paramount hacked my computer. Lol. Startrek 11 was my idea which I started when Voyager entered series 6. I actually started writing a story but never got beyond bringing DS9 into it. WOW.
No mention of the Captain Worf idea that Dorn proposed?
BTW, JJ will rot in Hell for what he did to Trek.
The Worf series was turned down because the make-up budget would have been ridiculous. Also try not to be so afraid of change, Enterprise was cancelled because people were tired of getting the same thing for 18 years aka franchise fatigue.
Also, we are now about to be treated to a series that I have been DREAMING about for DECADES with Strange New Worlds...I had always imagined it being called The First Five Years but whatever it's called, it's shaping up to be EVERYTHING that I've been wanting, a full episodic series centered around Capt. Christopher Pike's time as captain of the NCC-1701 Enterprise! We will FINALLY get to see what other adventures Pike and his crew had on our favorite Federation starship BEFORE James T. Kirk took the captain's chair! I'm not normally a fan of prequels but this scratches every itch I've had ever since learning that "The Cage" was a thing when I saw that episode for the first time back in 2000!
And yes, I AM a Classic Trek fan...which just makes me even MORE EXCITED! 😁😁😁😁 Anson Mount was DEFINITELY the best part of Discovery Season Two and for him to now get his OWN series in the iconic role...all I need is William Shatner guest starring as Commodore Robert April and I will be 100% ALL IN!
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
I know it'll never happen but I'm still somehow hoping for Star Trek: Excelsior.
George Takei is still alive so maybe if we shout enough for it, we could get a Star Trek: Sulu series akin to what they did with Picard. It would be nice to close the gap somewhat between Star Trek Vi and TNG
@@curtyeomans8446 Indeed it would! But Mr. Takei might be a little old to pass as an active captain. Admiral Sulu maybe?
Pyradonis I’ll settle for nothing less than Federation President Sulu.
@@curtyeomans8446 Ohhh. It would be interesting to see how he transfers his decades of experience in the field to the battlefield of diplomacy. :D
Pyradonis I’m thinking the West Wing in Space. They could even bring back Michael Dorn to play his grandfather again (since he was a lawyer and diplomat or something like that) lol
So great video. I have a question though. I cant figure out what kit he's wearing and its bothering me. The star means a title/trophy. Anyone recognize the crest?
Isn't that a Manchester United FC Football crest.
PS: I don't know enough about football/soccer to know the correct team name.
Would have loved to see the post nemesis film and excelsior!
Star Trek reboot could have worked great especially if done in an alternate universe just like the one Kirk visited as well as DS9 did a few times. Stories could have had all new meanings.
First off thanks Adam Clery for all the Trektainment!!!
You probably could have made this a 20 Treks You Never Got To See... that said here are my honorable mentions
1. Assignment: Earth (the second season episode of the same name was a backdoor pilot)
2. The Adventures of Harry Mudd (while planing a Harry Mudd episode for season three (sadly not made due to Roger C. Carmel not being available) there was talk of making him his own series)
3. Spock/Vulcan series (shortly after the cancellation of TOS, Paramount proposed a spin-off series centered on Spock, featuring him living with other Vulcans... sadly Roddenberry didn't want to do it)
4. The God Thing (a made for TV movie... before Planet of the Titans gave way to Phase II that in-turn gave way to The Motion Picture there was The God Thing)
5. Star Trek III (for some reason back in the day, Gene Roddenberry saw TOS as (Star Trek I) and The Motion Picture as (Star Trek II) and for the next film (Star Trek III) he want to do a little time travel story where "Kirk Meets JFK")
Aww hell while I’m on a roll…
6. Star Trek: The First Adventure (was a proposed sixth film that would have been released on the 25th anniversary and would have dealt with Kirk and Spock’s first meeting… things came together for The Undiscovered Country and The First Adventure never got made)
7. Animated Ferengi series (back around 2001 Armin Shimerman devised an idea for an animated series about the teenage years of Quark and Rom… it got to a final pitch session with MTV before it lost steam)
8. Star Trek: The Lions of the Night (was another proposed Captain Sulu Adventure this time as an animated film that could have spawned more such films)
9. Star Trek: Titan (was a Captain Riker series proposed by Jonathan Frakes (around the same time J. Michael Straczynski (Re-Boot), William Shatner (Academy) and Bryan Singer (Federation) had all made their own series proposals) Paramount had rejected them all out of concern of "franchise fatigue")
10. The Worf Chronicles (was a series proposed by Michael Dorn… instead we got Star Trek: Discovery)
In a VOYAGER episode, there was ship that had a super computer that could tweak a point in the past,and project a new future. WE NEED ONE OF THOSE !!!!!!
Discovery is based on the design for the scrapped Tv Movie 'Planet of The Titans', nothing to do with Phase II
i read somewhere that a story about life on a space station was was pitched as a ST show, but was passed on and eventually became babylon 5...
then when babylon 5 did so well, star trek did their own version and called it DS9...
Almost. The way I understand it, Babylon 5 was originally pitched to a number of studios, including what is now CBS/Paramount/Viacom. When it came time to create a new Star Trek series, executives at the company took the Babylon 5 treatment they had been given during the pitch, and gave it to the Star Trek producers as if it were their own property to use however they wanted. Various ideas from the Babylon 5 universe then ended up being worked into the new show. Even character names (like Dukat) were stolen straight from the Babylon 5 treatment, because the writers didn't know that they weren't allowed to do that. Many elements of the show, like the Cardassian occupation of Bajor (Centarui occupation of Narn), the wormhole (jump gate), the station itself, the fact that they didn't have a permanent ship at first but only a few runabouts, the fact that they were on the frontier outside of Federation space, the Obsidian Order (intended to be called the "Grey Order", like the "Grey Council" from B5), and Section 31 (Bureau 13) were all taken straight from Babylon 5.
When the writers found out that Babylon 5 was its own show, and that the writers and producers of that show were reaaaaaaaaaaaaallllly pissed off by how their work had been stolen, they tried to change as many elements as they could, but a lot of it was already baked into DS9 and it was too late to do anything about it.
Your summary of #5 was used as the plot for one of the plotlines of the newest Star Trek: Picard. It was odd listening to the George pitch and realizing it was the major plotline for a few episodes of Picard.
I read that there was an idea of a spin-off show for Gary Seven and Roberta Lincoln from the Star Trek episode "Assignment: Earth." How about a spin-off about Khan Noonien Singh, his rise and fall, escape on the SS Botany Bay, and his exile on Ceti Alpha V like in the non-canon novels?
Roddenberry's 'The Questor Tapes' was a rework of the 'Assignment: Earth' concept.
I've got 7 star trek spin offs for you;
1 - Starfleet Marines - Band of Brothers style show set during the klingon war in DS9.
2 - Federation Intelligence - Bashir works for Federation Intelligence agency battling S31.
3 - President - West wing style show about the first human colonist president and rebuilding and demilitarising after the Dominion War
4 - Greenfellas - set on the federation's economic powerhouse of orion, it has federation law enforcement FBI versus orion syndicate
5 - Romulan war - what was promised for Enterprise series 5
6 - Rogues - Nova class ship gets stuck behind enemy lines in the Dominion war becomes part of starfleet special operations.
7 - Klingon wars prior to TOS - Though Anaxar seems to do that pretty well...
So those are probably terrible but what would anyone else pitches be?
Star Trek XI would have been great to see all the series up on the screen at once.
Star Trek: Federation elements are now being used in Discovery.
They need to make another Star Trek movie, where the alternate universe of the Abrams films crosses over into the original universe, and George Takei plays admiral Sulu, and Sulu and his men, and the alternate universe Abrams crew, and The Next Generation crew have to team up to fight the ultimate Klingon villain, that turns himself into a god, kind of like a thanos type of thing. That would be a great film in my opinion. : )
I heard that the main story line for Babylon 5 was going to be used on Star Trek: Deep Space 9, but the idea was scrapped at the last second because they didn't want to make a Star Trek Soap opera that dragged on for 5 seasons. Even though DS9 lasted 7 seasons.
Capt Sulu would have been great, I wonder if the three audio books of Sulu & the Excelsior had any relation to the proposed TV series? Also a missed opportunity would have been a series with Capt Scott
Omg what would have happened if gene's second Piot of the original star trek series didn't sell what would we have now besides star wars
We might not have even had Star Wars.
Loved the shirt, Fancy Adidas.
Federation...hummmm isn't that the premise of Andromeda?
You missed Michael Dorn's spin off with Worf as the main character. It was pitched several times, at least from what I've heard. It would have had so much potential!
My goodness the fact that these ideas got shelved or denied really chafes you, huh? You didn't swear this much in the previous videos made. I'm not complaining, just making an observation. I can understand, I'm just surprised at the fervor of your disgust and hatred of it. I was so busy being surprised by the fervor at the beginning that I didn't have much else of a reaction. But, by the second half of the video I was really enjoy this. Because you were so caught in your rant that you still sounded angry even when you weren't talking about anything that particularly angered you. I was awesome to watch and it added a little flavor to your review. Thank you for the video, it explained a lot.
I remember seeing an article for Star Trek The Final Frontier in a magazine, once (it was either ToyFare, Wizard, or that conglomerate's short-lived cartoon magazine, I forgot which), and I was so excited for it. Sucks that J.J. Abrams took over, and sucks that they decided to do Picard, instead.
Still dont get why Nemesis did so poorly. I enjoyed it. I wish a few of these ideas had gotten done. That Kirk relative storyline could still get done
It did. But not as Trek. It was Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda.
Actually, it wasn't the show that Paramount didn't think would work. It's the Network it was supposed to be on didn't come into existence for another 20 years.
It sounds like Disco season 3 is borrowing from the ST Federation pitch.
