I like someone's idea of a new ST series being kicked off with a movie.
There's only one problem. I think, that some actors need the time to work on their characters. I'd hate to see some bad acting in that movie.
I can remember how it seemed like Gates McFadden (Dr. Crusher) needed more work with her acting in the beginning, IMO. I think, she was much better after the first season. Maybe, she had a few acting lessons... I don't know.
Also, what can the story-line be for the next ST crew? Like, Voyager's was surviving without losing their humanity doing it, and getting back to the Alpha Quadrant... DS9 was being a melting pot for all species to meet and/or do commerce, and to keep strategic control at the worm hole... TNG and TOS was exploring where no one has before, 'Enterprise' was getting a fledgling space program into deep space, and to also explore.

I really don't think we need another series that has to do with exploring. Maybe, one that has to do with an invasion into the Alpha Quadrant, where Humans, Klingons, Romulans, Vulcans, Ferengi, etc. become a tight knit alliance against the invaders from the Delta Quadrant, or Gamma Quandrant, or fluidic space, or alternate universe, or all of them.

This just came to me...

Either I heard it somewhere, or read it, I don't know...

But, what about a series that operates from the view point of the Klingon Empire, while focusing on their lives and what happens on a specific Klingon Bird of Prey.
Never know... we might even learn a little Klingon.

Cathexis? I think you mean more along the lines of "Q'Pla!"

While I'm happy to see a new movie, I hate, and absolutely HATE, what he plans on doing...which is a Kirk/Spock movie. Give it a rest, eh? They've had six movies! Move on to something else. Give the DS9 crew, or the VOY crew, or the ENT crew, or someone else, a chance to shine, dammit!

The man's stuck in the past. Not many of the fans nowadays want to see a TOS movie, anymore. Better ST shows have come along that are crying for a film. However, in the TV Guide, which I bought yesterday because of the cover, Abrams himself said that he never got into DS9, VOY, or ENT, so, I'm not expecting anything great out of this guy. I don't like any of his shows and M:I III was decent...so...All that I can hope is that this isn't another ST: V.

From MA, on the Starfleet Academy section....

Voyager2004 · **Mon Jul 31, 2006 10:35 pm**

But anybody can deny anything...Just like Area 51 is denied to exist...I'm not calling him a liar, but I'm just saying it's easy to deny anything...

Lord Borg · **Mon Jul 31, 2006 10:38 pm**

Well,... yeah of course, but being as how HE is working on the project, and it's HIS decision.... If he denies it and thats still the plot, that lie right there will cost him.

Voyager2004 · **Mon Jul 31, 2006 10:45 pm**

haha...true...didn't think about that lie costing him...but you're right...so he's probably telling the truth...but still...it's in his era...

La Forge · **Mon Jul 31, 2006 10:48 pm**

I agree with Voyager2004. While we may have dodged a bullet with the Academy idea, however, the movie is still set in the TOS-era.

Lord Borg · **Mon Jul 31, 2006 10:52 pm**

Yeah... That Era is not really Boring Per Se. From My Point of view, simply, it's hard to look past the "60's" look. Ya know, the ship being spartan, the walls looking bare and metal and smooth etc...

Look at the DS9/ENT episodes. With current technology avail today, the Enterprise looked bad ass. The Defiant's weapons were just AMAZING (And were the TOS ones!) with current special effects.

I'll still give it a chance.

La Forge · **Mon Jul 31, 2006 10:56 pm**

I'll give it a chance and see it, definitely. However, if it involves Kirk or Spock in any way, I'll go into the show expecting to see a ST V. At the moment, I'm only expecting a Generations.

Voyager2004 · **Mon Jul 31, 2006 10:57 pm**

Oh, I'm all for giving it a chance. And I'll obviously even go see it. But I just don't like the idea of it...

They really mustn't remake the past... we want other captains then Kirk. At least I want. Well my idea for them... Another Borg movie

I thought Janeway more or less did away with the borg in Endgame?

Here's what I want...

Star Trek Omega - "Continuum"
Admiral Picard sends Captain William Riker and Commander Thomas Eugene Paris on a mission whose success has unknowingly caused serious repercussions on an event occurring within the Q Continuum, and in conjunction with all the past temporal damage done by al the Trek crews over time, brings about a Quantum Quake, leaving behind a force that begins to undo all existence. Anything and everything including the Continuum is in jeopardy, as the "big-bang" is being undone, and Time unravels and ALL the Trek crews, from Enterprise to Voyager, from Zephram Cochrane to Daniels from the 31st Century Federation, The Klingons, The Romulans, Tholians, Gorn, Vulcans, Ferengi, Hirogen, Xindi, Orions, Krennim, Dominion and the Borg must come together with the help of the Q Continuum, to stop the catastrophe before all the multiverse, indeed all existence (the Continuum included) is negated.

When the Borg lose their queen they search a new one who gets the same mind. O and if Janeway killed them all then why is the Borg still there in the Legacy game...

Voyager2004 · **Mon Aug 21, 2006 12:19 pm**

Because Games are NOT canon to the Star Trek Timeline. That's why. Not to mention that make great villains. But games are NOT canon...

Well then how could they survive the attack of Picard and not a simple virus made by a docter. Well then? I think that a part has been infected, but a greater part hasnt. The main part where the queen was had been infected, but the rest of them just did what they always did, search a new queen, find it, and go further conquering. O and this.

It clearly says "spreads throughout the collective." (not to mention they say it in the show, as well) Meaning ALL the Borg since they're ALL part of the collective. So technically, yes, they should ALL have been destroyed.

Lord Borg · **Mon Aug 21, 2006 9:06 pm**

That don't really mean that the Borg are all destroyed, as people should know if they didnt say "The borg were all 100% destroyed" in trek, you shouldnt assume it

IntrepidIsMe · **Mon Aug 21, 2006 10:06 pm**

Well, according to what was stated in the episode, that's what should have happened. Although I'm sure that in the next series (or whatever) they'll bring them up again. They're just too good to pass up, apparently (based on the number of times VOY used them).
