I can't wait to put this on my shelf next to Enterprise S5-S7, Captain Worf, and Star Trek: Legacy.

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Don't forget the Section 31 movie! Can you believe how insane it would have been if they actually made that?

[–] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

As insane as it would have been to have an Indiana Jones 4. It's weird how they went from 3 straight to 5...

[–] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Star Trek: Legacy the video game? Didn't they make that...

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Wasn't Worf always a pipe dream.

Michael Dorn kept pitching it, but it was never going to happen.

[–] Repelle@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

I didn’t think it would happen, but I really wanted it to. Michael Dorn was so passionate about it, and i love the character

[–] themoken@startrek.website 8 points 1 day ago

Yeah, they all are, even though they probably would have been fun. I'd watch Bakula as Archer again too, I just think there's zero percent chance it would be greenlit.

[–] Supervisor194@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

These days? Shit, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a new Star Trek property. I thought he had a chance tbh.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

It’s too bad they’re all in paramounts streaming service which I’ll never pay for

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Have you considered the pirate life?

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] SoGrumpy@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You shouldn't have to, but where there's a will . . .

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Yes, it's been a long time getting from there to here, but I might have to unfurl my sails again.

[–] AlsoPaisleyCat@tenforward.social 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

@chiliedogg @themoken hopefully this won’t either.

I like Bakula in other media but loathed him as Archer.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I'd watch it for the Beagle.

It wouldn't be Porthos, but I'd learn to love D’Artagnan.

No room for "Star Trek Year One"?

[–] data1701d@startrek.website 15 points 1 day ago

We could have a convoluted retcon about Trip Tucker surviving somehow, but I kind of just want them to pull a Shaxs; someone brings it up and Tucker says, “We don’t talk about that.”

[–] TWeaK@lemmy.today 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's been a loooong time....

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

...gettin' from there to here?

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm under no illusions that this will actually happen - it's just nice to know he's interested.

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Upon further consideration...

"Federation political drama" is a popular dream show for a lot of people. I've never been one of those people - the Federation is built on decades of contradictory nonsense, and anything they came up with would be under immense pressure to be a perfect political system - something that's never been designed IRL, and probably never will.

But...setting it in the very early days of the UFP, as the characters themselves are trying to figure it out? There might actually be something there...

[–] usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

I’m one of those people, and really appreciated the little bits of political wrangling we saw in the last half of Discovery. And while I was never a fan of Enterprise, Bakula could kill it as the president of the Federation in its formative years. I love this idea.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Mmmmmmmm...

What about continuing the Dominion thread? I am wide open to ideas there, but shapeshifters would both be awesome in modern CG and awesome as officers.

[–] jacobrealo@tenforward.social 2 points 1 day ago

@ValueSubtracted I gotta see if he discusses this on Sunday.

[–] floo@retrolemmy.com 1 points 1 day ago

As long as Kurtzman isn’t involved…
