The problem with form-fitting uniforms is that they only work on young, pretty females.  A uniform, by defintion, applies to everybody.  It is a nightmare for the real, general population to wear them. 

In the future everybody will have a great body.

Except for Lena Dunham, who will continue to be a Hutt.

I think we can safely exclude Dunhams from the future.

What could they possibly show us that we haven't seen already?  Show me the underbelly of the Federation - those who live outside of the ivory tower that is Starfleet and perhaps I'll work up some enthusiasm.  <_<

I'd rather have them go another century into the future and start ripping off the Culture novels.

You know there's some room for a show like that.  Focus on a character like Harry Mudd, or Quark, as they attempt to scheme and steal across the galaxy.

But not for this new show coming out in 2017.  That, the first Trek show in 12 years, is going to be all about Star Fleet.  Because that is what every Trek show ever has been about.  If and when that is a success, then maybe you look at expanding the franchise.

It will have been in 2017. Enterprise was put out of its misery 10 years ago.

Nearly everyone here who has rewatched TNG found the first few seasons sucked.  Why?  Because they mimick what the old ST was about, a spaceship wandering almost aimelessly (from our perspective) with seperate stories each week, with barely no continuity until the very last seasons.


That's not why early TNG sucked.  Two words:  Wesley Crusher.

First two seasons of TNG sucked because they didn't have collars on their uniforms.

I always wanted to see that, but making an entire show for 5-7 years based on that premise alone would not be that good.

DS9 began to show us how it was like living outside the Federation, and what was the difference between Earth and Bajor, but a lot of people disliked it.

I just wish it was a theme expanded in a new series.  Not a whole series based on that.

Or they could the story of the last human starship, pursued by relentless ennemies as they struggle to find their ancestral home... oh wait, I think I remember something like that ;)

Wesley goes to Gor. Flies giant hawks. Builds macguffin devices. Accidentally becomes a powerful overlord with thousands of devoted slaves.

[Looks for an old thread to bump... this looks like a good one.]

CBS announces a new Star Trek series.  But this is goig to be an animated comedy and is developed by a writer for Ricky and Morty.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

We talked a little about it on the TV thread I think.

Pensioner Picard doesn't really sound too cool. Then again, Michael Chabon as a writer for the show immediately perked my interest.
