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

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Wasn't Worf always a pipe dream.

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

[–] Repelle@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months 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 10 points 2 months 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.

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

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

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Have you considered the pirate life?

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

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

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 7 points 2 months ago

No room for "Star Trek Year One"?

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 6 points 2 months 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 3 points 2 months 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 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

[–] data1701d@startrek.website 15 points 2 months 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 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's been a loooong time....

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

...gettin' from there to here?

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 5 points 2 months 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 10 points 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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.
