Are you ready to boldly go where no man has gone before (on a weekly basis) again? If so then you might be interested in David Foster’s proposed Star Trek series. Unlike the excellent 2009 movie, Foster’s series is inline with the existing canon. He recently gave TrekWeb a ton of details on his ideas for the show. Here’s a sample:
The series concept is fully developed, subject to change of course, with a solid 5-7 year series plan, pilot script and a conceptualized finale that intends to define Star Trek for generations, extensive character bios, costume and ship/set designs, and more. This is a drastic departure from the typical 8-10 page treatment of the previously pitched Star Trek series ideas that have not included even a pilot script.
The series is set in the post-Voyager era, and is designed to return Star Trek to its original series roots in big and mighty ways, without disregarding the other series and movies. As Star Trek (2009) was an alternate timeline, it will not conflict with any canon there either. The co-creators are avid believers in Gene Roddenberry’s “positive view of the future” and intend to bring Star Trek back to its origins while moving forward with the timeline, integrating the best aspects of each of the previous series.
The series is highly energized with a much younger cast, and uses cutting-edge future technologies with newly envisioned special effects and designs. It includes Klingons, Ferengi, Andorians, Vulcans, Trill, and many more. The Klingons are getting very restless since the Praxis incident forced them to come to the peace tables, and are tired of having to rely on the Federation for support. The Ferengi have discovered a vast new resource that has propelled them towards instant riches and power beyond anything they have previously experienced.
I’m sold! How about you? Are you ready for another Star Trek television series?
I think I'm going to get internet murdered for this, but I could never get into Start Trek at all. My dad loved it my brothers, my favorite cousins, pretty much everyone important to me growing up loved it. I still don't get it, maybe this will be the one to get me.
Did you see the 2009 movie? A lot of people that aren't into Star Trek enjoyed it.
No I haven't because of the title lol, I'll give it a whirl. I think it is available for instant stream.
