Star Trek: Discovery - new series in 2017

CBS has such an enormous wealth of mythology at its disposal as it creates the new Star Trek. My hope is that the network doesn't skimp on talent and budget. A monthly charge might give the series the extra financial support it needs to become great.

I would like to see a restoration of Roddenberry's vision of a mature Humanity which has outgrown its warlike personality and expanded to the stars as a force for good. Earth should be a environmentally resurrected paradise, a perfect setting for crew R&R and explorations of their off-duty personal lives.

What I would not like to see is a formulaic composition for the new Enterprise crew -- captain, Vulcan/android, doctor, chief engineer and an assortment of red-shirted expendables. How about a Borg Trash Control Officer? Nobody is better than the Borg at recycling and reusing materials.;)
 
There are several old threads about ideas for a new series here. So, I don't want to repeat what I said then as they are all still valid. I just wanted to agree that the old formula -

- is tired and a new show does need to go in another direction. Some of the ideas were a Klingon ship, a 29th Century Timeship or a miniseries of one-off different stories each week set throughout the Star Trek mythology at key events. Anything other than another ship on a mission of exploration.
 
RED SHIRTS!

That's what a new series should be about! Seriously think about it a series focused on the head of security and his staff as they keep order and keep safe the crew of a starship exploring the universe! Indeed its something I thought about whilst watching Hornblower and other such series in that the "military" on ship are basically ignored as characters and are just "summon armed people" spells.

So it would be fantastic to see the trials and troubles those people go through! Huge potential for regular action - drama and pulled heart strings (red shirts do tend to die rather often).

Possible series titles: Hill Street Reds, Red Bloods, The Red Knight, Law and Order: Red Division?:)

But seriously, that idea has a lot of appeal.

Lol - Law & Order and Hill Street Blues are the wrong network. Those are NBC and CBS has Star Trek. XD

(Yes I'm being obnoxious. *g*)

Unless there was an explosion on the Moon that sent it off at an unfeasibly great speed through the Galaxy, while having absolutely no effect to the Earth it left behind. :whistle:

Yeah, that wasn't the best science was it? I wonder if 1 in 100 even realized what a crazy idea that really was? (Parson sighs)
 
Boldy going somewhere we've kind of been before. I Really wish they'd take another leap forward. I want new exciting technology and I'd like to see some new worlds and a few new civilisations. Instead we're going to get something that's a lot like Enterprise, with a lot of the same storytelling issues.
 
Star Trek: Retcon Hell?
 
Not seen much of Enterprise but I did see that. Bloody awful way to end.
