Sigh...Has it really been nearly 5 yrs since Trek last aired?
- Thread starter MooCriket
- Start date
From my point of view it's 16 years since "trek" aired. :lol
But seriously... well I dunno, if they never make a series out of the Abrams version, I'll be surprised. But first things first I guess.... probably makes more sense financially to pump out an "event" film every few years, than to spend millions on a weekly series. You never know though.

BE Happy. It could be worse. Imagine CW gets a hold of the rights, and makes a star trek tv series based on teeny poppers. They brought back melrose place and 91210..Just Imagine the horror!!!!!

I personally miss having a good series to watch at night. My question is, when do you count an installment as being the end of a series's golden age? (Enterprise really has too many holes to poke in it) How can we compare Voyager, DS9, TNG, and TOS to one another?

Sneak from Drex what a season five might have brought.

I disliked Enterprise when it aired... when I went back and looked at it, it's not that bad... when you count when Manny Coto came on board.
But for me the Golden Age of Trek will always be the 90's. You could find Trek anywhere. I remember kids in school that were not your typical "geek" watching it. There were 2 Trek shows on the air at a time. TNG was the highest rated syndicated show on television and was syndicated to where you could find it on every night of the week. We had the last great TOS movie... Ah it was wonderful time.

The question shouldn't be "Will Trek ever return to TV" because it almost certainly will.
The question is what would make a new Trek TV series worth watching.
The answer lies somewhere between Clone Wars and MadMen (yeah, I know, but if you could do that creative math you'd have a great Trek TV series).

you want the action and adventure stories of the Clone Wars mixed in with
the drama and smart writing style of Madmen...
:eek GREAT SCOTT!!! you might be on to something Carson

what are you all talking about? Where I live, there is TNG and Voyager and Enterprise all still being aired daily on cable. I can flip on the TV and watch it just about anytime. Matter of fact, just finished a TNG episode and a Voyager one is starting.

I'm one of those who was indifferent to "Enterprise" when it first aired (after watching a handful of shows). On a whim I bought the entire series and watched them all and really fell in love with the show. I know this is not a popular sentiment but after TOS it's my favorite series. Albeit a far second.

Yeah, but while you're at it, you might as well ask for a unicorn for Christmas.
