I want to see a series about Q trying to set the universe back to the way it was.
I know most Trekkies hate Enterprise,, and I know the reasons so no need to tell me, but I would love to see more Andorians and maybe even the suliban or xindi, but thats just me as a fan of Enterprise and its cast
I agree. Though I wouldn't quote Voyager as being the best example of this format. Deep Space Nine and Voyager have very different ways of taking risks, and ironically for Star Trek, it was the one that stayed in one place that did it the best. As SFDebris once said, nine times out of ten, DS9 took risks. Nine times out of ten, Voyager played it safe. And that's a fair assessment when you consider all the mandatory things that Voyager had to abide by like never making it home in an episode and always keeping their characters relatively the same.
Would really have been all that bad if Voyager had been able to return home, in say season 4, and after that get a new mission, and just do something new for three seasons?
Well, I for one am THRILLED for this.
"The creative plan is for the series to introduce new characters and civilizations, existing outside of the mythology charted by previous series and the current movie franchises."
Well that gives me a little glimmer of hope that it will be a fresh start, a real fresh start and not some half assed reboot, re-imagining, trashing of the timeline in a totally implausible manner kind of way.
Wasn't that the mantra for Voyager? Season one they had a rRomulan episode, season 7 they had a Klingon episode.
and those tended to be the most meaningful of the series when they dealt with home and familiar stuff.
What I hope that they do with this incarnation of Trek is to do long form story telling with it and go with season long arcs and build on each episode, no more reset button where each episode stands alone. I want to see consequences and real character development and take the chances that they missed with DS9 & Voyager and not just take the safe route.
They should have had more problems with compatible tech, trouble even communicating since hailing frequencies in the Delta Quadrant may not necessarily be the same as in the Alpha Quadrant, same with the languages, they would have evolved differently requiring the universal translator to adapt to the new languages before working like they do back home. Instead everything works just find, DQ tech is remarkably compatible with Federation tech, and despite all of the battles they get in the Voyager never looks any worse for the wear nor do seem to ever have a personnel shortage.
