Who has a good idea for the next Star Trek series?

I would like either a Riker series in the Romulan zone or a time travel trek that can visit all the series.\n\nLike the temperal ship that was in Voyager

Well, I am definitely not in your neck of the woods.  \n\nBut, may I suggest that you keep posted on upcoming Star Trek-related conventions.  \n\nWhile these conventions usually are populated by Sci-Fi fans from all over the globe, Star Trek-related conventions which may be locally convenient to you could be a good source to both network and make friends in your area.\n\nGood luck!

LOL, I love WWSD! \n\nI typed an article about such concepts LONG ago at a Unitarian-Universalist newsgroup.   I glean much of my moral / spiritual lessons from Star Trek and other sci-fi movies/shows.  Below is from Star Trek:\n\nWWCJD:  What would Captain Janeway do?\n\nWWCPD:   What would Captain Picard do?\n\nWWCSD:  What would Capt. Sisko do?\n\nWWTD:  What would Tuvok do?\n\nWWSD:  What would Spock do?\n\nWWSoND:  What would Seven of Nine do?\n\nWWDD:  What would Doctor do?  (Doctor of ST:VGR)\n\nWWBD:  What would B'Ellana do?\n\nAnd.....lastly, WWPBD:  What would Princess Bibi do?  (my hamster *blush*)

although its true that every star trek series has a few seasons (usually in the beginning) that suck (st:tng and st:ds9 weren't that good for the first couple of seasons in my opinion) afterward they were really great and got quite a following even the ST series that people really didn't like eventually found their footing and started to get good (voyager and enterprise).\n\nbut the question to ask on whether they make a new spinoff or not is, what else can they show? there was the original that was the root of it all by breaking new ground and showing what had not been shown on tv before. the following two spinoffs started by NOT reproducing the original but set 100 years later and in a more peaceful era within the boundries (instead of unexplored regions like the original) the DS9 was diff in that although it was on the border, it was on a space station and had some crossing over between the two shows. it took themes from the original series and followed up on them (mirror universe). \n\nvoyager in a way got back to its roots in going into unexplored space while enterprise tried to show how it all started. what else can they show? spinoffs following old characters in new settings? a spinoff set 100 years after ST:TNG? maybe show about how an adolecent alien goes from his home planet through starfleet academy and ends up on a ship encountering characters we've seen in previous shows? but then it would be teen angst drama in space and i don't think the fans would be too interested in that(at least we would know that the crappy part would be while he was at school). \n\nas much as i like ST i don't think they're going to be able to make a successful new series until someone thinks of a concept that will surprise and delight us as much as the original and next generation did.

Here's something you can do to get your ideas flowing.\n\nWatch an OLD episode of the original Star Trek (the 1960's TV show with Kirk and Spock).\n\nLook at the set and props.  Look familiar?\n\nRemember, these things did not exist as real technology designs until today. At the time, they were speculative. Many of the current technology designers of today used to watch that show.\n\nThen, go read Isaac Asimov stories. Look at the social analysis he does of modern politics, in the science fiction format.\n\nFinally, there are two novels you should read. "Brave New World" and "1984".  What do they show you about modern society?\n\nPeople who are readers are leaders. People who are readers and leaders, with access to speculative fiction, have things to think about that can often guide modern society.

Mork, Ewok,Wookies from Ork and Alf would all have some problems in Star Fleet.  But if Klingons can be integreated I doubt there are many species that would be totally out of the question.\n\nI don't know about the second question.

From what I have heard it isn't very likely that there will be another movie from The Next Generation Crew. There are currently talks about doing a Voyager movie, but it may be hard to fit into the overall Voyager timeline. \n\nOne possibility is to do a movie with the current Enterprise series, but that will only take place after the series has been completed. So it may be awhile before we have any other Star Trek movies.

Star Trek and Stargate Atlantis.I wouldn't bring any lobbyists or politicians.Sometimes Sci-fi fantasy makes more sense than reality.

Since no one seems to be reading the part of your question that says "with respect to the entire franchise"...here's my take.\n\nStar Trek.  No doubt.  Why?\n\n1. It PREdates Star Wars by a decade.\n\n2. It's cancellation and subsequent resurrection was accomplished by FANS in a letter-writing campaign, and had never been done before.  \n\n3. Star Trek conventions began in the early 70's, before Star Wars, and the whole subculture of sci-fi collectable markets, fan fiction, etc were born as a result.\n\n4. The EXISTING fan base for ANYTHING sci-fi, and particularly those fans of Trek, was part of the reason Star Wars was such a hit in the first place...that whole market of movie fans had been ignored for years, and all they had was re-runs of Trek episodes and Logan's Run (puhleease). \n\n5. While the Star Wars films are an AWESOME story...they are self-contained, concerned only with the characters within it's own universe, and basically just a good guy/bad guy, redemption story.  Trek focused on the future of MANKIND, it's diversity, intelligence, coupled with visions of tolerance, unity, and understanding.  This forward looking, positive attitude has kept it popular for almost forty years.\n\n6. There is no shuttle named "Millennium Falcon"...however, there is one named "Enterprise".\n\n7. Finally, when you see the success of shows such as Babylon 5, SG-1, the NEW Battlestar Galactica, Farscape...what void have/did they fill, or what show did they most try to copy, with their continuing story-lines, long character development and storylines?\n\nTREK

The Next Generation was BY FAR the best to me.\n\nNow I'm too old to know about the Original Series too much, and the special effects are too corny for me now adays.  Anyway...  Here's why TNG is the best.\n\n-Dynamic characters that don't seem too forced (you'll see the oposite later)\n-The Enterprise was not DOOMED every episode - sometimes it was just about one or two characters\n-Was VERY optimistic about the future\n-Spoke about conditions of humanity and why we're the way we are.\n\nDS9 was my second favor, but there's some tihngs I didn't like...\n-Too political for my liking (I hate the Bajoran and Klingon episodes)\n-Much dimmer view of the future\n-The Difiant is all that's given to protect the MOST IMPORTANT STATION in the galxy?!  I can't suspend THAT much disbelief.\nEven so:\n-I really liked Sisko and some of the other characters\n-Good to see O'Brien get a big part\n-Aweosme battle sequences and such\n\nNext is Voyager, which had a few REALLY good seasons. (I think season 1 and 2 were better then most of DS9) \nUnfortunatly... there were problems...\n-everyone seemed TOO diverse. (an asian guy, a white guy, woman captain, half klingon, Indian, hologram, alien ect.)\n-too many 'back in time' plots.  \n-EVERY episode saw Voyager in iminent danger\n-After 7 came on, most characters didn't even matter anymore! (Kim, Tuvok)  \n\nAnd Enterprise?  Well..\n-The idea of a prequal is kinda dumb to me\n-Why are the Vulcans asses?\n-As soon as they had the 'de-tox' segment in one of the first episodes, where they striped down and oiled up... I knew it was over.'\n\nOn a fun note, I leave you a quote from a Banditos song:\n'Show your ID card to the border guard,\nyour alias says you're Captain Jean Luc Picard,\nof the United Federation of Planets,\nbut he won't speak English anyway'

Bill Shatner. He's just good at everything he does. Big fan of Boston Legal. I hope that by hosting this show that it doesn't effect is Denny Crane persona. This show is better then that other show on NBC.  This show takes wisdom, and not a game of chance, (what suitcase, please) Hope it last a while. Good Luck Captain Kirk....

Hate to be the dissenter here, but they wouldn't have to come close at all... Just pick up any of those transmissions waves we've been generating for decades... and yes while we might be deemed "interesting"- even we dimmers, masquerading as an enlightened species, know "interesting" means "fun to watch, but exercise caution, and watch from a distance (ya never know when one of them's gonna go off their meds)"\nWe have decades to go I'm afraid before we'll learn how to exert our minds more than our muscle.\nTill then, let's keep re-running Star Trek... at least it shows we have the vague intent to be part of the universal community in a semi-peaceful representation. Maybe? Hey if nothing else it might provide a laugh. Aliens do laugh don't they? If not I'm thinking we're screwed!  ; )
