Treks Not Taken: Rejected Star Trek Movie and TV Ideas

I would still like to see one final TNG movie with Q as the pseudo-villain.

 

Me too. A feature film would offer a much better demonstration for the scope of Q's powers, not to mention his ability to annoy everyone around him, than an hour-long episode.

 

DS9 was too much of a cult thing to make a viable feature film I think. In any case, the strength of that series was in its slow burning story and character arcs - i'm not sure a movie would add much to it.

 

I'm still waiting for a Trek movie about the Romulans. Romulans, not 'pseudo-vampires whose make-up is about the same quality as you would get in an episode of Buffy'.

Sometimes I hate Nemesis more than Insurrection.



Oh well, all Trek movies are better than the first one, Star Trek the Motion(less) Picture.

"Kirk unit!"

 

Not a fan of the Remans eh..

I think a limited run show or film involving Sulu and the Excelsior would have been cool, but it's too late in the game for them to use the originial Sulu..

 

Khan Khan Khan Khan Khan CAN'T !


THis is where I had a problem with trek: Recycling stories
Just because No. 2 did well, the whole of the trek writers/Producer/Directors/Excutive Pro wanted to pull in more money with the revenge thing again and again and again. Good script, great ideas common sence and great science just been thrown out of the window.

What happen to other stories lines of 60 trek like the mirror universe
or going to other multi verse like they do in Sliders
What happen to Proper thought-provoking Science fiction ?

In DS9 we saw a lot of space battles so why haven't they not discuss the aftermath, like casualties in sick bay like in ER, and that, - I wanted to see the reality of space war, like being exposed to space, cus war is nasty, and its not glamorous. We have to understand Space war at the time was more glamoured compared today because of Star wars
I don't care if they up the cert. ratings or cut it for TV, just bring it out on DVD fully no cut.

The lack of knowledge, imagination and enthusiasm was so evident with Nemisis, thats why we had the Nosferatu vampire look- a-likes and the director of Nemisis didn't know if Data was an alien or not !

This movie could have been so much better, the Idea of the odd number curse must have been a real splat on their faces with that movie.

Also Trek Needed to be much more human instead of being boring !


PS Star Trek Motion(full) picture was one the best trek films , see blade runner.

 

YOu could be right 2ndQuest - but personally I didn't like Contact.
Room of improvement came to mind as I watch it, however I do admit it was a better generation movie.
I think the real problem with trek is that it had to many lazy Writers
Heck if they had the right people they would have taken on Star Wars and won
Even this very forum would have been Trek forum. lol
I say this cus the amount of scifi films and series could have well been a trek storyline. SUch films like Gattica, 12 Monkeys, Matrix (Minus the MA - reffering the idea that people living in virtual world which inhabitant and controled by a machine and have action rather than the MA) ,

Another thing which annoyed me about trek was that the Feds were seen as goody goody where as Aliens were either primitive - stupid-annoying beings or aggresive-evil-untrustworthy creatures, with the exception of Vulcans.

 

Some of these not-taken treks are better than those taken.

By a mile.
