Paramount has just put YOU in charge of Star Trek and given you the budget and authority to do whatever the hell you want with the franchise. What do you do, Anon?
>>217382050broadway musical
>>217382050Scrub all new trek from existence, release a new box set of all shows up to and including ds9 for $500, fuck off to the Caribbean and never whisper of it again.
>>2173820501. Restore the best available prints of everything to 4k including Enterprise.2. Hire all the writing staff pre-2005, have them go through all unfinished scripts or concepts they wrote that aren't currently owned by Paramount.3. Big workshop about the scripts (including movies) from their personal collections and from the paramount archives.4. Contact the families of the deceased actors + any living actors to get their blessing and pay using their likenesses. 5. Make totally new seasons of the og series, tng, ds9, voyager, enterprise using the best of those old scripts and new scripts based on the old ideas using AI.6. Will cost pennies on the dollar and give everyone what they want.7. After paying likeness rights and writers fees, episodes wouldn't cost more than 50,000, if that, to make.
>>217382050Easy. You hire a creative who can pull off the male soap opera in space. Because that's what it is ultimately. You need a Taylor Sheridan of Sci-Fi.
>>217382525Very wrong. The appeal of Star Trek is its episodic weekly adventures, not serialized soap opera story arcs. Hence why people hated Discovery but like SNW.
Deep Space 10: The Pah'Wraith Revenge
>>217382591Incorrect. The Dominion arc was amazing. So were Enterprise's season 4 mini-arcs.
>>217382629Yes, but you’re forgetting that TNG and the subsequent 90s era shows were 22+ episodes a season.
>>217382050Big event at the end of the current debacle that leads to Q and Sisko sitting at a table drinking tea discussing the universe. They'll talk about it being an interesting experiment Will become an almost shakesperean diatribe about how the universe is a fascinating ever changing place etc etc. Leading to them sayign it was an interesting experiment. Leading to showing an old benny sitting at a table in front of a type writer. His psychologist played by Q is talking about his latest stories and how they are fantastic,. Shimmerman reprising his role as benny's fellow writer, who is now an editor of a major book, will walk in and they will all talk about how the attempt to take his work and give it to someone else who is the correct class/race to make it more "hip" failed and that Benny has to snap out of it. To let them publish his stories. That he can and should show himself as the writer. The show ends with them leaving his small humble apartment his book shelf lined with various works. Behind the door you can hear typing. The opening of the OG star trek plays and we see a new captain on a bridge. A multi-ethnic crew of the corrrect proportion are on the bridge. They are heading to the other side of the wormhole on a peace mission. It's 100 years after the dominion war and 30 years after a galaxy wide war.
>>217382660True. The episode count on these streaming shows is an issue.
>>217382050DS9 movie with Sisko’s return, miniatures augmented with CGI, rebuilt modernized Terak Nor set, no green screens except maybe that ILM bubble thing for planetary segments
>>217382050Give Tarantino has carte blanche Trek movie and watch the dollars roll in.
1) Hire any number of the original TNG writers to be executive producer on a new show who are still active and writing: could be Ronald Moore, Joe Menosky, Naren Shankar, Rene Echevarria, even Braga or Behr2) Let THEM select young writing talent to mentor. Make them write Star Trek using the Roddenberry Rules just like they all started in TNG. Create a new generation of good young Star Trek writers by showing them how to do it the right way.3) The show can be about anything because I actually trust the names I mentioned to write REAL STAR TREK because they all have experience doing it. Can be post-VOY, can be a prequel, can be a Klingon show for all I care as long as it's written by good Star Trek writers who understand it.4) Find anyone who worked with Michael Westmore, understudies, people who learned from him, anything, and get them on board to run your practical effects department. Get rid of the fake-y looking silicon shit they've been using in Nu Trek which is so uncanny valley.That's about it, really. Star Trek would be saved.
>>217382525Worst opinion of all time, you are legitimately a faggot
>>217382050Q, Riker and Data holodeck buddy cop series, Donald Trump to guest star in the first episode.
>>217382915I bet it would work like a charm. Paramount isn't wrong about Trek having a much older, more niche fanbase. But they are wrong in thinking the easiest way to expand and grow are women and lgbt. It's actually normie dudes. You should be running up the numbers in that demographic.
>>217382050I would center a series on Kelsey Grammers character from that TNG episode. Have it set before he gets trapped in that space/time anomaly. A better show would have been Kelsey Grammer shortly after that tng episode coming up to speed with the then current events and eventually becoming the captain of a new ship going on adventures. Sadly kelsey is too old now for that.
>>217382591Everyone on here hates SNW
>>2173820501. Fire all the woke people working on it now2. Cast a bunch of young, hot starlets with perky tits3. "Personally interview" said starlets (the interview is with my penis)4. Withdraw all the money and store it in the Caymen Islands5. Flee the country and live out the rest of my days rotating through my handpicked harem
>>217382050
Star Trek Sex With Shran: The Movie (Budget: $300 million)
>>217383024yeah I guess cynically if I wanted my bonus that's what I'd do but it's not trek
>>217383058Not me
>>217383149BASED
Shadow universe Enterprise
>>217382050Make at least one episode of ST being full unironic Nazi shills while a bar below is displayed reading "This is what your writing looks like from the outside". Finish the episode with a text that reads "Subtlety is wasted on idiots" while a hysteric Karen screams this message on repeat for 5 minutes.
Give DS9 and VOY the same treatment as TNG and scrap everything that came after that from existence.
>>217383661Voyager is straight up MEH with more shit episodes then good and an ending that made Janeway into a universal murderer to save the life of a few dozen people.
>>217382050>What do you do, Anon?Sex with the hotties who come in to audition.
>>217382050All females are 8/10s minimum, and they have 2 uniform options - miniskirt and pantyhose like the black chick from the first one or the pantsuit BUT it has a plunging v down the front all the way to their waist. V like pic rel
>>217382629>The Dominion arc was amazingNo, it really wasn't. it was a showcase of how even the ds9 writers fundamentally did not understand star trek. they moved heaven and earth to manufacture a belligerent empire that just was obsessively enraged by the fact other species existed.
>>217385430The fucking borg exist you retard. The fuck is wrong with you?
Bring back the Roddenberry Rulesthat fixes 40% of today's treks problemsNo more female writers period, everThat's the rest of the problems
>>217385468the borg are an inversion of the federation. the dominion is simply xenophobia for its own sake ramped up to a billion and also ancient and evil
>>217383661Enterprise was a lot more Star Trek than DS9 or VOY combined
>>217383661This doesn't mean anything other than the IP has been handled by retards for the past 10 years
Hire somebody to desintegrate every single Star Trek original media in Paramount's vault and persecute everybody who ever purchased anything related to Star Trek to burn down their items.
>>217385594i was never able to make it past the "timidly retreading the paths of actual bold men" seasons.
>>217382050more Tosk
>>217385607>the IP has been handled by retards for the past 10 yearsYeah, that's the ballgame.
>>217385762Star Trek has spent 10 years in the wilderness before and managed to come back. It'll do it again.The reality is that people want that hopeful future and Star Trek is the only way it's been presented in a palettable way. The new shows aren't.
>>217385594>Prequelslop better than a honest to god advancing in the timelineFuck off, zoomer, your opinion is not wanted here.
>>217385804>Star Trek has spent 10 years in the wilderness before What are you referring to?
>>217385804anon that was over 30 years ago
>>217385890Doesn't matter. And I know it doesn't matter because I didn't give a shit about Star Trek until the early 2010s when basically nothing was going on with the franchise. I just heard TNG was good and watched it and went from there.Did it matter to me that Star Trek's original syndication hype was 40 years before that? No, I could care less and didn't even know its history when I started watching.But it was rumors of quality writing that brought me to Star Trek and that's what I found. It wasn't a marketing campaign or some demographic targeting shit. It wasn't JJ Trek dumbing it down because I thought that shit was totally bland and uninteresting. I came because I heard it was good.If you make a good show with quality writing, people will come.Even a fucking obscure Chinese show from 2010 has become wildly popular on here because of its incredible writing.
>>217385804Anon that was three writers strikes ago.
>>217382050Eugenics Wars.I want to see Khan drop himself naked into Ethiopia, with nothing to his name or even a name. To prove to himself and to humanity that he can speed run civilization to become powerful enough to conquer the world. If you have the will, you can literally do anything.Then build out the franchise with later movies.

>>217382050Honestly, I would make a show that isn’t overly “cinematic” or serious. OG trek was a little silly, and that’s the heart of sci-fi in general. The more serious and doomsday everything is, the more it leans into just a space opera. I’d cut back on the amount of lens flare in every shot (seriously, every shot in SNW and Academy is like a flashbang), stop making every set shiny as hell, and go back to practical makeup for (most of) the alien races, where it’s feasable. Also, I want them to hire writers who actually know star trek. Idc if it’s old trek writers or fanfic writers, anyone whose actually passionate about the series and wants to make a good show. I’d also erase Discovery and Academy. I fuckin hate “The Burn” it makes no sense and isn’t sci-fi at all, it’s just a lazy excuse for Kurtzman to write a dystopian trek. Overall, i just want something that feels more like older episodic trek with lower stakes and less of the modern netflix-adjacent overbudget cinematic look. I miss the look of TNG and DS9. Oh, and if i had to reboot any series, it’d be LDS. Hot take but it’s the best nutrek series and the only one that left me wanting more of it. The bar isn’t very high there, though.
>>217385978I got into star trek probably a little over a year ago, I'm just now starting voyager. Ironically all the buzz about the new shows being terrible compared to writing in the past was what got me curious.Having a lot of fun with Trek, but I've heard so many negative things about nu-trek I'll probably avoid it. That being said if they return to form I'll tune in in a heartbeat.
>>217386250Nu-trek isn’t as dastardly bad as people say it is, and this is coming from a long time fan. At least it isn’t all bad. Prodigy has some decent writing, and so does Lower Decks. I’d say LDS is the one nutrek that stays closest to the original formula, SNW does too, but the directing in it is god awful which is sad bc the writing is okay. Discovery does too much, it makes too many hard changes to the trek timeline and that’s why a lot of people hate it. Academy just cements those changes. In 5 years we’re gonna say those shows were just an alternate timeline, just watch.
>>217386362>LDS is the one nutrek that stays closest to the original formulaHear hear!
>>217386416? It’s mostly episodic, not overly high-stakes, and is as close to adventure-of-the-week as we can get for streaming shows. I’m not saying it’s perfect, but it follows the formula.
>>217385885I think he’s referring to the years in between TOS being cancelled and The Motion Picture or really Wrath of Khan coming out.
>>217385581So their the borg...and also ancient and evil. But that's not good because you're a tng purist. You're out of it.
>>217385624t.jidfShouldn't you be burning a forest in argentina now?
Lower Decks is drivel designed specifically for reddit
>>217386636>nerd show is just drivel designed specifically for nerds ijbol
>>217386703right, keep watching flash animated trash with LE BACON NARWHALS "humor" whole telling yourself it's the closest thing to actual star trek
>>217382050Remake of Master and Commander in space
>>217386779I meant closest for nutrek. The bar’s low.
>>217382050Put scantily clad hot women in it
>>217385430>Uh yeah lets just let this overtly evil empire that rules an entire quadrant get a permanent beachhead in a strategic part of our territoryI dont even get what you are objecting to. DS9 had flaws of its own but all it did was, like Sisko said flat out, dismantle the idea that the Federation is paradise and that they are operating on neo-colonialist principles where everyone MUST want to be in the Federation and that they arent allowed out. The Maquis were right in principle, they just happened to be retarded terrorists that chose death by Cardassian boot over compromise
>>217382188this. have the whole burn and other kurzman shit retconned.
>>217386779The thing about lower decks is, it's a parody. You don't need to take it serious. It's just good natured, if unsophisticated fun in a star trek setting. And Lower Decks lives in that setting, it doesn't try to destroy or reinterpret it like most nutrek does. Would I rather have a serious star trek series in that same setting and era? Sure. But Lower Decks doesn't destroy the prospect of that like PIC did. And it doesn't dilute Star Trek like Discovershit or the kelvin timeline did. On the contrary, it's success and popularity proves that this is what people want, a star trek that treats TNG-DS9-VOY as the foundation upon which to make more star trek.
I'm sure people wouldn't be this passionate for Lezzie Dykes if it wasn't a flash animated cartoon with brown "waifus". I've seen what /co/ likes. It's all the same shit.
>>217386022>Hire respectable, white male science fiction writersYou do realize some of the best Trek came from notably not male DC Fontana.
>>217387640yes, it's just a different world now
