What about a Star Trek: CSI like show...

It doesn't have to be affiliated with the current CSI shows, but what about a CSI like show? That would be cool. See the forensics of the future, late 24th century...or maybe even the EARLY 25th century...

What are your ideas? Tell me which answer you chose, and why you chose it...Thanks!

Thanks to "he-who-voted-but-didn't-say-why" he voted no...please explain...I'm curious. This is a discussion board, after all...

I'm sorry. I'm a bit pre-occupied. While it MIGHT work...it's just not Trek. It would be weird.

Lord Borg · **Sun Jul 16, 2006 5:12 pm**

It'd be pretty hard, a Tricorder scan would ID the fingerprints etc...

Yes, it's a good idea.

The only problem is that there is not so much crime in the Federation. Maybe if the future Horatio Caine and his crew were stationed on some outpost like DS9 where a lot of different species meet and trade.

Personally I like all three CSI series and NCIS as well!

Ah, see, there may not be much crime in the Federation, but there is crime. They don't have to do work JUST within the Federation. There could be an incident on this planet one week, and that station the next week and such.

Pretty much "Species A" attacks "Species B" on "Federation Outpost C" and then the team goes to resolve it. As long as it happened on a Federation/Starfleet outpost the team would go and solve the mystery.

We could explore the deeper darker regions of Federation space, or the dark outskirts of Federation space. It would also open up a "darker" side of the 24th/25th century. To show that while everything we've seen is all nice and "hunky-dory," that there is crime and is dealt with...

I personally think it is a great idea to build on...I like the idea of interstellar "CSI" type show.

But this would go deeper into specifics...more of the forensics of how it happened...what we saw on the shows, yes was KIND of like this, but we would see different technolog; how different species would try to counter Federation technology; Many different twists; and a darker side of the future...

There would be alot more technicalities with this show and solving the crimes than there was in the shows.

I think it would be hard to pull off but if done right it could be interesting. As far as the tricorders go you have to think that with advances in technology in catching the individual comes technology in hiding what you've done....

Voyager2004 · **Tue Jul 25, 2006 10:43 pm**

Ya, that's what I said above...

Because we have ways of detecting certain things now, but those that commit crimes overcome that...for a time at least. The same thing would OBVIOUSLY be in effect in the future...one would "overcome" the technology with which to catch them...

I voted no, i would rather skip crime investigations and leave star trek as it is.

Voyager2004 · **Sun Jul 30, 2006 12:15 am**

You want to leave Star Trek as it is, yet you want them to go back in time and show us "more" of the history of the Federation? That makes no sense and contradicts your statements in other topics...

No, I feel sorry for you. Forgive me, but you need to check your attitude...I was making NOTHING more than an observation in my last post. And you're trying to turn it around on me...but if that's how you want to interpret it, then go ahead. I've done nothing more than try to find out what you're thinking and understand your point of view, but you turn it around on me trying to accuse me of talking down to you and your opinions.

I happen to like CSI and wouldn't mind seeing the darker side of Trek. It's a worth-wild side to explore. And it's not even necessarily the darker side of the Federation that we would see all the time, more like the darker side of other species. Species we might not have seen before...species we have seen before, and then of course we'll have some episodes now and again that show us the dark side of the Federation...

star trek-csi? it would be awesome.

Voyager2004? I do like this idea.

What is going on!? We're agreeing so much lately!?

The only thing is, I don't think this should be...a show on it's own at first. Star Trek is in such a fragile state now. They should make a show with the normal parameters and THEN this idea.

Kind of like DS9 and VOY running simultaneously.

Lord Borg · **Mon Jul 31, 2006 11:48 pm**

Yeah.... It'd get boring if it was all murders though. Sorry, but in the federation, Murder is supposed to be rare. Maybe crimes.... though, IDK, a series basied on investigating crimes?

I think it would be predictable, since both CSI and Star Trek already are. The even-more-predictable-nature would make it way too boring.

Leo Wyatt · **Sun Aug 20, 2006 2:28 pm**

I don't think it would be boring at all, in fact it is science. It would be interesting to see something like it. Forensics and Trek sounds cool to me cause I love CSI and Trek.

Admiral Dani�l · **Sun Aug 20, 2006 2:43 pm**

Ehm I believe the people at Security do that stuff... like Tuvok did with the investigation in a episode

Voyager2004 · **Mon Aug 21, 2006 10:23 am**

^^^That's like saying "The police handle Forensics in today's society."

That's wrong. Scientists do it...and if they're not scientists, then they're pretty close...lol.
