- It looks like the Star Trek franchise could be headed for a reboot in the near future, with the recent news that Paramount has hired a new individual to head their film franchise. While also announcing that a star with over 40 years of film and television credits has been cast in their newest series. Hey Everyone, my name is Eric and Welcome to What Did I Miss. Where today I will be discussing these two new hires into the world of Star Trek and why I believe it is a definite sign of where the franchise intends to head towards thematically.

You’re confusing Starfleet which was preexisting in 2150 and The Federation which did not exist until 2161
No, this is a common misconception. But Earth Starfleet is not the same organization as the current Starfleet. This is why the ships now use the NCC prefix instead of the NX prefix and why Starfleet's charter (boldly go where no one has gone before) was established in 2161. memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Starfleet
@@WhatDidIMiss The NX prefix is used on new experimental ships until they clear their shakedown phase. Hence NX 2000 Excelsior in ST III and NCC 2000 Excelsior in ST VI.
EDIT: NX literally stands for Naval Experiment as opposed to Naval Construction Contract. NX is about the number of the ship, not its name.
Starfleet incorporated the ships of other member worlds after the Federation Charter was signed. So no, it's not a misconception at all.
@@WhatDidIMissActually The USS Prefix was Preceded by the SS Prefix and the NX Prefix was actually used in Experimental ships Such as NX-01 Enterprise or NX-2000 Excelsior while Fully Commissioned Ships are the Standard NCC
@@noneya3635 Agree to disagree.
@@HKN48 I actually meant to say NCC instead of USS. Thank you.
This is not a reboot, this will not save Star Trek, this will continue to alienate fans. If you want to save Star Trek here is the easy 3-step way you do it. 1. You take everything post-Enterprise and retcon it out of existence. 2. Create a new show set during the TNG era on a ship exploring the galaxy. After years of war with the Dominion and the Borg attack on Earth, Starfleet is back to exploration so it has a positive, aspirational feel. 3. You do not under any circumstances have any kind of political messaging in the show, instead you do what it's always done and hold up a magnifying glass on society and examine it from all angles without ever passing judgement, and you do this through great writing. Congratulations, now you have a Star Trek show.
this...
Agreed on most but there was ‘politics ‘ in Star Trek and issues of race (what was the episode with half black and white race and the ‘others’ were reverse)Klingons and Romulans - like Chinese and Russians.
Well said
Too late for no political messaging unfortunately.
If it's going to be a spinoff of Discovery, how exactly will that save Star Trek?
That unwatchable shit does not deserve to be here in the first place.
Exactly, I can not even make it through an episode of Discovery, its so bad
By continuing to be awesome.
@@tnickknight Kind of explains why Paramount is so broke.
@@DissociatedWomenIncorporated Another STD?
Could they just make old school Star Trek for the older trekkies and then experiment with the new stuff separately? I just want to see the old school swashbuckling exploration.
It's been judged as politically incorrect to have male heroes, they even excluded Captain Kirk from the last Star Trek promotions. Hollywood has died.
I disagree. Star Trek was focused too much on Kirk. It’s time to show other characters. I don’t have a problem with male heroes at all. They should be diverse and not just White Men.
@@Globalman43 Diversity is a worthless goal. Representation is a sad joke, it really doesn't matter. Minorities are too small to bother catering to, no money in that tactic, as Hollywood are finding out to their cost.
They make sooo many different kinds of Trek now, but absolutely refuse to make even one traditional Star Trek show. I wonder why that might be...
@@Globalman43Nobody has a problem with that. We loved Sisko and Janeway. The problem is the quality of the new shows and the low-key anti-men, anti-white attitude. There is a clear disdain. That's not an enlightened Star Trek. It's regressive.
As long as Secret Hideout or Bad Robots get involved in the making of ST, I guarantee you that it will be a disaster and not a save
Oh my God, Starfleet Academy being located on a ship, what an original concept.... Except for it's not, Filmation did it in the 1970's with a series called "Space Academy".
Then it's time to remake Space Academy! I will write the script for the pilot and I will be in charge of casting.
The last reboot worked so well....
Agreed. The franchise does not need a 'reboot', it just needs to cut out the cancer infecting it since 2009 and carry on from where Voyager left off.
@@MagnanimousEntropy Well that would be one Alex Kurtzman wouldn't it
There was no reboot. There was a different timeline
I didn't like the third film, same failure as TOS film #1, too much special effects were very sleep inducing.
@@RaikenXion Indeed, and all his minions.
No, the founding of STARFLEET was not shoehorned anywhere. Starfleet already existed at the START of Enterprise. It was the founding of the FEDERATION that was shoehorned into Enterprise's season finale.
I answered this on another comment but this is not correct. Earth Starfleet existed before the Federation and then when the Federation was formed the organization was changed from Earth Starfleet to just Starfleet. This is why the ships have the NX prefix instead of the current USS prefix that all Federation ships use. memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Starfleet
@@WhatDidIMiss It is times like this is when I get happy....
that the white population is in decline.
@@WhatDidIMiss you clearly don't know anything about Star-Trek...
@@WhatDidIMiss NX wasn't replaced by USS, it was replaced by NCC and is used for the registry number. Although it's never really established in canon, NCC is generally assumed to mean "naval construction contract" and NX "naval experimental." (The real reason for NCC is that private planes often began with NC, and so Roddenberry just added another C.) The names of the ships are preceded by USS, which stands for "United Space Ship" and is akin to HMS (His Majesty's Ship) and USS (United States Ship).
all i can picture in hollywood is someone hitting ctrl-alt-del over and over and over again. my god the creative bankruptcy is stunning.
Well, Hollywood is run by liberals.

Iam sooooo tired of the studio not listening to the fanbase no Starfleet academy no section 31 no first contact prequel.
How hard is it to do a sequel to picard with the enterprise G or a new crew entirely on a new ship dam CBS..
Agree 100%
that would take courage something modern execs dont have anymore
Exactly. This franchise has been utterly ruined ever since Enterprise ended. Those in charge need to grow a spine, toss out all the woke activists and start listening to the fans.
With the exception of Picard season 3, nothing i have seen since 2005 has been legitimate Star trek.
Sorry I vehemently disagree. As an artist myself, I love and respect my fans and following, but the creation, core, existence, function, needs of my art has little to do with fans. I’d venture to say that any artist who creates and focuses more on the reaction to his or her art verse the art itself, its needs, purpose and the creation process to bring it about, is going to produce crap, which is exactly what we have been getting ever since the 70s. Too much reliance on focus groups, reactions to the art, and demographics rather than the art itself was an early birth of this malignancy, and has now given fans swelled heads and delusions of grandeur. As fans, you are not part of the creative process of true art… my art. Only your interest, investment, time and reaction to my art is valuable, whether positive or negative. For that I am grateful and beholden to you. Nothing more.
Exactly, this is what i keep saying. It's all most of us Fans want. All they have to do is keep that consistency and move into a whole new "Era". It would still attract NEW FANS because there will be New Characters" and as you said a New Ship.
I wouldn't have even minded "Michael Burnham" the *spore drive* and just the whole "Discovery" starship, IF they were ALL set in a NEW ERA 100 years after the time of Voyager. But STD where it is now i just can't accept it.
I'd prefer a show set in the Next Generation era, so in 2401, where Picard ended.
I am sick of Trek reboots. I'm pretty sure the fans have been telling producers what they want - Star Trek Legacy with a Seven of Nine captain.
How many of these new fangled projects have to fail before someone gets it?
Agree the only thing they fucked up was just randomly making her a lesbian when she never had those tendencies on Voyager,,She was straight or at least only showed sexual interest in Males
Sick, sick, sick!
Legacy or bust! Seriously. Fans AND cast members want that show to happen. Frakes is still hopeful. Not sure why they don't green-light that one?!
Does she have to be woke?
@brianr3699 well they made 7 of 9 lesbian out of nowhere when she was straight before so..
Strange new worlds is the only decent series to come out in quite a while. Keep them coming.
SNW had a couple of good episodes in the first season but the quality dropped rapidly after that, embracing the std reboot nonsense and changing the characters too far from their original versions that they were based on. I will NEVER watch the musical episode.
Yep, they ruined SNW as well.
The best thing Paramount can do is just declare everything after ST:Enterprise was a bad dream. Then time jump the franchise 50 years beyond the TNG era and begin a new era of wonder and exploration. No more prequels to TOS.
Strange New Worlds has those Trek vibes we missed
@@FekalistaGrzybowory-lz8lh Yeah, the Klingon boy band really screamed "Trek vibes." Literally.
This is what STD SHOULD HAVE BEEN
@@kettch777 😂😂
@@FekalistaGrzybowory-lz8lh If it wasn’t for Discovery, there would be no Strange New Worlds nor Lower Decks, Prodigy, and Starfleet Academy.
To the nice folks at Paramount: You don't need to keep rebooting stuff. Star Trek has proven over and over again that you can introduce a whole new cast and whole new situation and have it be successful. TNG was different from TOS, DS9 was different from TNG, and so on. Even the current crop (Discovery, SNW, Lower Decks, Prodigy) have completely different characters from anything that came before, and are STILL successful. Enough with "reboot fever" already.
Discovery was not successful it was largely rejected by Star Trek fans. That said, new films can be done of the original crew and new actors without having to re-introduce the characters every time. They can cover periods not covered by the original series. People know Kirk and his crew just like people know Batman or Spider-Man.
@@HepCatJackhe idea that fans largely rejected discovery is a narrative pushed by media influencers who make their money complaining about everything.
Well, with the last movie reboot, there has been a few deaths with some of the major actors to deal with. Besides, it sounds like the video is just talking about sequels not actually reboots.
@@HepCatJack no, there’s a lot of fans who like Discovery. There’s obviously a lot that don’t, too, but you can’t please everyone all of the time.
You lost me at Disco was successful 😂
So more people producing Star Trek that know little, if anything about Star Trek. Hooray.
I remember a show called Space Academy, in that show the Space Academy was located on an asteroid and it was shown on Saturday mornings along with other cartoons for kids. Oh yes, the actor who played Doctor Smith in Lost in Space was the head of that Space Academy. Jonathan Harris was his name.
Now a prequel movie none of us in the fanbase want a prequel a sequel is needed new crew on an advanced new ship sequel set after picard..
I agree that I would love to see Star Trek Legacy (or whatever they would call it). However, I am also looking forward to the lost-era stuff they've been talking about.
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. Prequels are lazy ideas, developed by lazy producers.
I'd rather have a continuation of "Enterprise" (at least the 5th-7th seasons to close out the series) than all these "Discovery" and JJ Abbrams versions. Can dogkind (Porthos) and Andoriankind be included?
How about a Star Trek that deals with a Starship where all the crew are deaf?
@@trhansen3244 Interesting idea, but it would open a real can of space worms. In the name of equal representation, they would have to have ships entirely crewed by blind people, autistic people, ADD people (that would be an interesting one), people in wheelchairs, gay people, trans people, etc.
Easier to simply have all kinds of people serving on any ship in the fleet.🤓
There has not been any real Trek, since Enterprise ended (excluding Picard season 3) They turned Roddenberrys better new world, into another dystopia . THey should sink all the latest garbage,
I find myself in full agreement with you! Jar Jar Abrams said, FOCK Vulcan, FOCK the fans, FOCK everyone! I'm doing it my way, & also FOCK established Canon!
It's sad to say the best current Star Trek is Lower Decks...
The BEST thing they could do for future Star Trek is to dump all this pre-Next Gen crap and do what Trek used to do best: MOVE FORWARD!
There was the original series, next gen, DS9, and Voyager. Then they lost the plot by going back and playing the Fill Up The Timeline game. Worst... move... ever! Now that S.T. Picard is ending, the next series should take place after then, and they should NEVER go into their past again.
I have spoken!
Nice try... Discovery is inevadible being set in 32. century now. There is no going forward from Picard onwards that does not eventually get there. Or let's say we could, but there would be no point. We're stuck. Thanks Alex Kurzman!
Isn't "City on the Edge of Forever" generally regarded as one of, if not the very best, episodes of TOS?
@@jackabug2475 Yeah but Time Travel episodes are not the same as setting an entire series prior to the canon timeline. That's why I liked the idea of S.T. Picard, because it was not another prequel series like Discovery and Enterprise.
Seek out new life and new civilizations. It's the Star Trek way.
Why would they INFECT it with anyone from Discovery?
Discovery exists to change everyone's mind about the worst series being DS9.
@@Squidbush8563who thinks DS9 is the worst?
Out of the original continuation of roddenberry/berman trek most people would say enterprise.....
But I would take all of them over everything now!!
@@Squidbush8563 You misspelled Voyager.
More woke crap and because Alex Kurtzman has a stake in Discovery Trek, so he won't f**k off and leave it alone any time soon.
@@Welsh_Dragon756 Enterprise was the last good series they made. And like the idiots they are they canceled it 3 years too soon!
None of this sounds promising. After years of seeing this franchise bastardised, it is foolish to see anything change so long as the current regime remains in control of it.
Holly Hunter is a great addition to the ST universe. Hopefully the writing will be up to her considerable ability.
Doubt it.
The "Woke" writers corps, will ruin everything.
Trek, wars, Marvel ...pretty much anything coming out of Hollywierd, is crap.
No. Too old, for starters. And without a doubt too woke. The writing for Star Trek has been abysmal for about 20 years now.
Starfleet had already formed in Enterprise, it was the birth of The Federation that was depicted in the finale.

I would love something new in the prime time line
Star Trek Enterprise’s finale was the birth of the Federation not Starfleet. Starfleet already existed by this time.

Reboot again??? Can those people understand once and for all "we don't need or want reboots" surely not reboot of a reboot. Go back and continue where Voyager finished; same era, same style of narrative and same style of the series that was TNG - DS9 - VOY. Quality over flashier productions and constant characters with personal issues or identity crissis. We want optimistic space adventures as old Star Treks were once upon a time... and no lanceflares
All I want to know is if it is another woke joke?
Absolutely...I couldn't get into Discovery. Just no. Picard final season was good but the others...meh
“Star Trek Academy” has been proposed for decades but never made it to preproduction. That would be a welcome addition to all the other series and definitely “undiscovered country” 😎🛸👽
My fav startrek film after khan
Hate to be a stickler, but the creation of Starfleet hasn’t yet been witnessed on screen, as far as I’m aware… the founding of the United Federation of Planets was shoehorned into the end of Enterprise… but Starfleet predates Enterprise.
Check pinned comment
I’m cautiously optimistic. All at once is a good story that I can be excited about. Period.
They’d have better luck with a prequel of the prequel.. ‘Star Trek Babies’ an animated kid show.
this is not a good idea, between lower decks and strange new worlds and perhaps a seven of nine series, lets focus on these shows that have already cemented them selves. to much at one time will ruined the franchise as a whole. disney tried to do this with star wars and marvel... lets dont over saturate the market and just stick with the stories that we need to finish before we move on
There SO MANY loose threads left in TNG, Voyager and DS9 that could have potentially been turned into movies or mini series that a reboot was entirely unnecessary and what they are doing now is more likely to push away more fans rather than make things better for the Star Trek property.
One of the few things Disney did right was to make mini series exploring aspects of Star Wars and the MCU. There's tons of things in the Star Trek universe that could benefit from the same treatment.
Ya know, just pick up the timeline from the end of DS9 and Voyager. TNG, DS9, and Voyager are the ones we, the fans, binge over and over, and the time we’ve been asking to continue for decades. That’s why Lower Decks is so popular. It’s really that simple, respect the lore (and data ;)
If Bad Robot or Kurtzman are involved, it'll be a guaranteed dumpster fire. Bring back The Orville.
Raising Arizona😂 great one😸👍
Thanks for the video. I missed seeing your Discovery 5.8 video.
Enterprise was the best series and era IMHO, and I have seen them all in first run. Returning to that era brings back that sense of optimism that has often been missing in recent incarnations, while leaving tons of canon conflict to mine. It’s a good choice.
I am tired of the reboots when the tone and message of the show doesn’t line up with what made the franchise great.
I used to love only the '90s Trek,but then realized, there are truly endless stories to be told in the infinite Trekverse. Star Trek is first and foremost about:"The Human Adventure" and how it must continue. Trekk in the '60's was nessasraly only the beginning. Hope to the goddess,they're still making TREKK in the 23rd century and beyond!🖖🏻❤️🔥
They haven't had a decent Trek series in about 20 years. They haven't had a great one in about 30 years.
I'll watch anything Star Trek ❤
That is not good.
So you have no discernment? You don't care if it's trash as long as the name 'Star Trek' is slapped on it?
@johnsieversse8288, me too
Recast everyone and make movies from the Shatnerverse novels.
If you’re trying to save StarTrek, you should be staying as far away from Discovery as you can.
You may want to rewatch The First Duty. Admiral Brand was the Chancellor of Starfleet and Admiral Barnett played by Tyler Perry was the Chancellor of Starfleet in the 2009 star trek movie. So she would be the 4th seen onscreen.
I am looking forward to new versions of Star Trek and new stories. Once I got used to Star Trek: next generation, I was able to embrace the idea of Star Trek with different people and have not looked back since.
Put the idea forward in 1991 in place of Undiscovered Country. Bad idea then, bad idea now.
Honestly, you weren't really having to "get used to" TNG... the majority of the first two seasons really don't hit with most people, the exceptions, of course, being "Measure of a Man" and "Q Who." If season 3 was where you finally started connecting with it, you're right there with most folks.
@@j.rileyindependentproductions John De Lancie and Brent Spiner saved TNG from mediocrity (and very possibly cancellation)
I'm open to new things. But I'm not open to Star Trek being brainless slop.
@@Chud_Bud Which it is currently with Discovery
The franchise was saved in 2017 when Discovery started and 7 other shows grew out of it to great success.
LOL Discovery was crap. Worse Star Trek series ever.
Haha! Yeah they've been going from strength to strength. 🤣
You obviously haven't seen their viewership stats.
So rebooting the reboot. Well if it doesn't work you know they will just reboot it
To clarify things from the viewpoint of someone who grew up watching the original series. In my opinion, STNG is a different timeline from the original series. I say this because in the original series second season episode "Metamorphosis", When Kirk and Spock meet Zephriam Cochran. Spock asks him "You are Zephriam Cochran of Alpha Centuri, the inventor of Warp Drive?". To which the Cochran character responds "Yes." In the STNG movie First Contact, Zephriam Cochran is on Earth. This means that either STNG is a different timeline or the character in the original series moved to Alpha Centuri at some point after inventing warp drive. I think this is unlikely, because he didn't say he was from earth. Or, the man in Voyage Home that Scotty gave the formula for transparent aluminum to (Dr. Nichols) may have done something that prevented Cochran's family moving to Alpha Centuri before he was born. Or one of Cochran's ancestors actually invented Transparent Aluminum (in the timeline, since it is a real substance now), and Scotty and McCoy changed their history, without realizing it. Either way, Star Trek Enterprise is a spin off of STNG, Discovery is a spin off of Enterprise, Strange New Worlds is a spin off of Discovery. Paramount/CBS has stated that Strange New Worlds is a different time line from the original series, So that means that from "Enterprise" on at least is a second if not third timeline. The ending of Enterprise seams to indicate that STNG is the same timeline as Enterprise.
It never makes any sense that they do not tap the Rodenberry Canada family, like Gordon Woolvett (The Harper) from Andromeda or some of the Final Conflict family like Von Flores. Flores made the premiere villian in his stretch on Final Conflict, he is a master of the small screen.
As a long time fan of Star Trek, I'd like to see the franchise 'fill in' the time between ENT and TOS.
I'd prefer moving away from the hackneyed time travel and alternate future plotlines.
Just a good old 'these are the voyages' format harkening back to the TOS days.
Maybe starting with the creation of the Federation and going on to the Romulan war.
I've always thought that the last episode of ENT isn't canon, since it was a holodeck simulation and was an interpretation of events that could have been exaggerated/invented for dramatic effect.
I'd like to see as many of the ENT original cast brought back to see how the Star Trek universe appears twenty years after ENT ended (excluding the final episode).
Or maybe they could open with a visibly older (now Admiral) Archer visiting the bridge of the NX-01 in a museum and go from there.
I'd watch that.
I can only imagine this being all about personal relationships and more sappy drippy emo and love stories over SciFi. The only thing Trek about it would be the setting. Just like the new Dr. Who that just had the worst ratings in it's long history due to it's preaching over story telling. Trek is giving older fans the middle finger like the new Dr. Who did in trying to attract the younger crowd instead of trying a more broad appeal.
If you think Star Trek is primarily about science fiction, you have been watching it wrong.
Reboots are fine. I just want it to look like Star Trek. No floating nacelles for me. If you knew nothing of Star Trek and watched some of Discovery's episodes, you would think its just another sci fi show. I understand that they are way in the future, but you need more than the general shape of ships, and the uniform to make it look like Star Trek.
Oh, I got your reboot... RIGHT HERE!
It's not a reboot, it's Star Fleet Academy and perhaps a prequel/sequel to Enterprise.
ENOUGH with reboots, prequels and darkness!
Paraphrasing, “It’s possible Starfleet Academy could be on a a ship…” So… in other words… a remake of Filmation’s “Space Academy?” (Great show, by the way - but Gen X’ers like me will recognize it if they try to rip it off thinking, no one will remember it. I ain’t dead yet, and I ain’t that old yet! Just sayin’.) 😉
While I am sad for the loss of the actor who played Chekov in the Kelvin Universe, I am still hopeful for a 4th movie and a continuation of that story. I'm not really looking to see another re-boot, but may give it a look to be fair.
What I've learned from this is I'll still consider the franchise dead from the point STD was created.
The STD spreads from one show to another. We need antibiotics and distance.
Star Trek Discovery was such a bomb, I wouldn't want anything to do with it. They should treat that series as non-cannon crap and let it slip into obscurity and start from scratch.
Aww, does the poor baby not like people who don't look like him taking up too much screen time?
Fire every one at Paramount and hire all new people, then start the project. Maybe they'll a chance.
Sounds good and would be looking forward to it only if it's not on Paramount Plus. Put it on a regular Network channel then you have my attention. I'm not paying any more for TV
Hopefully this reboot will evolve around the Romulan attacks on earth and the difficult starts that the federation had to endure before it properly got launched? I just hope it doesn't effect the stories of Captain Archer and the First Contact film! X
The phrase "Disco is dead." has never been truer. I just hope it doesn't drag the franchise along with it.
I still don't get why they have to do Star Fleet Academy 900 years in the future. Picard left us off with Starfleet nearly destroyed. I'd say that's a good rebuilding point.
Frankly, I'm getting a little tired of all these reboots. I want to see continuing adventures of characters that we've grown to love, not start all over again with younger versions of themselves (or their predecessors!).
The reboot word should be a taboo because we need a continuance or something completely new, not a revamp, not a rethinking not a reimagining. We need a continuance of the universe with a new story. It doesn't try to have a narrative. Just have adventure like voyager.
Why not continue the Kelvin verse movies but 100 years later dealing with the Enterprise D.
You could even have a standalone of the Enterprise C, have a little adventure with them ending it with a distress call from Narendra III and have a wee comment of how the Enterprise is going to save the day again...
Even having stand alone movies that connect to previous movies/series. Use the Kelvin line as a What If franchise
I’m in the tired of reboots and visiting the early timeline camp. So much more can be explored like returning to the Delta and Gamma Quadrants or better yet jump forward in time and now a new galaxy to explore
I am both excited but disappointed that they're rebooting AGAIN! Why can't we just move forward with a new cast of characters?
If plurtzman has anything to do with it, NO.
I have a saying "Any Star Trek is better than no Star Trek".
Not true. Discovery, Picard and Strange New Worlds are worse than no Star Trek at all. Picard is so depressing, seeing him that old and barely able to speak. Then they brought in the rest of the Scooby gang and they are all old. Depressing.
No Star Trek is better than garbage Star Trek.
I love Star Trek. Give me more please.
If they put the series in my hands you would finally have a Star Trek worth watching. And repeatedly. I ask only for full creative control and a modest $100 million per year salary.
Would rather see all-new character stories in the Star Trek universe than reimagining/rebooting the original series characters & such with different actors. But, that might take a bit more imagination & creative vision - something modern Hollywood is sorely lacking.
she will prob be a great cast for the Academy... That said, i'd love another Kirk style captain to come around someday.
Why can't Star Trek just pick up after Nemesis with the Titan? It's ok to have a show without the Enterprise for a while. They did it with Voyager just fine. After a while, the Titan can be destroyed, and a new Enterprise take over. But ENOUGH of the reboots. We've covered this ground and time frame already. Let's do something in the 25th century and beyond with that new Enterprise I just mentioned.
They should consider a series set in the mirror universe……..but then it may hit too close to home cus it looks like that is the way our world seems to be trying to head……
I'd like to see the show and moviesmove forward. Maybe a whole new Enterprise in 32nd Century and a new set of characters... move forward not past...
As long as they continue in the jjabrams/std universe it will be trash, that stuff is not real Star Trek.
As long as they get on with something of quality.
If the new Film can show the Earth-Romulan War which was a catalyst in forming the Federation, I'd be happy. And, Holly Hunter to me will be this Gen's Janeway!
Yes my thoughts too regarding Hunter/Janeway!
Yes with Daedalus Class Starships. The Novel: 'Starfleet year one' left me wanting more and represented Star Trek better than Enterprise did.
Good storytelling is good storytelling. I wouldn't watch the same series and episodes every few years over again if it wasn't.
I love Holly Hunter! She’s got such a unique speaking voice and loads of experience. Reminds me of how perfectly cast Janeway was with Mulgrew. It’s awesome to see experienced women getting more screen time. I’m excited to see where they go with Starfleet Academy. I wonder what other planetary systems’ training centers are like?
As long as there are no cases of the Starships being built in a South Bay Oil Refinery, Uhuru working in a brewery, or every scene on the bridge full of "glare" it can't be worse than other shows. Oh, there should be at least one straight "cisgender" main character.
Set the Academy in San Fran and place it under the leadership of Commodore Chekov!
heres a good plot device wesley crusher is teaching there as a civilian
would make up for him not being in the last series of PICARD
Holly Hunter. Good move, straight up solid actor.
When is the last time she was a solid actor? 1995?
@@trhansen3244 everything I've seen her. You'll need to figure that out yourself. I'm guessing you would prefer her not walk by Startrek on a busy street, for some reason, and so overemphasized. Thats ok, some folks are touchy about that kind of thing.
At the risk of making the fuckboys already all over these comments further froth at the mouth... THANK YOU for using the word "humankind" rather than the dated and wildly inappropriate (especially when we're talking about Star Trek!) "mankind" that seems to be making a resurgence in certain corners of the internet.
Saving Star Trek? Well I actually like Strange New Worlds and l'm looking forward to the next season. Discovery sucks, the first season of Picard was ok, the rest sucks. The new movies are not bad. My favorite series are TOS and DS9 but I also love TNG, Voyager and ENT. However as a Star Trek fan you you should always be open for something new, exploring new movies or series is like exploring new worlds, planets and stars... ;)

Let us celebrate Star Trek's infinite diversity in infinite combinations!
Agreed...Strange New Worlds was a breath of fresh air....and Anson Mount is asolid actor
they set up a start of a good series with the last ep of picard season 3, pity that will prolly never see the light of day.
anything without kurtzman might show some promise, but I won't be holding my breath in todays entertainment climate.
@RedRocket4000, the Roddenberry Rule was limiting. If you don’t have conflict, characters don’t grow.
All I can say is... I hope they don't F it up. Seriously! Keep it tied into the Enterprise/TOS/TNG era. No Discovery crap.
IMHO First Contact was a 5 on a scale of 1-10.
Reboot? Lack of imagination.
Reboot? It can be new shows, without any older actors ..
Holly Hunter? With her Micky Mouse voice? Bad enough Kate Mulgrew as Captain Janeway and Carole Kane in her Strange New Worlds role with her strange new voice that makes her sound half pissed all the time that I can’t resist shouting out, ‘Uh oh, hide the Sherry!’
Every time I turn around there is a reboot.....
Let's just say that I'm not holding my breath.
The kick in the pants for me, the final one, is they called the show Star Trek Discovery, and I was like "oh great! They're going to make a show returning to the roots of exploring strange new worlds interesting worlds, meeting vastly advanced civilizations that have attained pure moral perfection, other societies that implemented completely different solutions to problems, which are ultimately dystopian.
There wasn't any discovery. Just endless war propaganda. Then they made Strange New Worlds. Just endless war propaganda. Endless conflict. If I want to know more about war, I can just study the last 7 wars the US has been lied into - I've seen plenty of that.
I know that First Class has its supporters but it was a continuity mess. Like either they didn't care or didn't actually know about X-men history. So, if we're wanting to preserve the foundation that Enterprise built then hiring a producer who is willing to branch out without regard to history of the franchise then there is cause for at least concern.
Lucy and the football guys. Don’t be fooled.
