I don't want a new TV series if it's going to exist in the same alternate reality universe as the movie. The movie is fun, but despite all its praise, I still chafe at the fact that Abrams felt the need to leave the decades of Trek lore behind because he felt the OS was simply not engaging enough, the characters, as he said, not people for whom he cared at all. I don't want to see Orci/Kurtzman inspired hacking of the new universe where Vulcan is no more, and Star Wars influence is seen in everything from the whitewashed ship interior to the cutesy alien sidekicks (such as Scotty's assistant)
No, if they insist on living in this new reality, let's leave it on the big screen, and maybe in a few years someone with a deeper understanding of real Trek will create a series back in the original universe. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Baxter" <martinbaxt...@gmail.com> To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, June 27, 2010 6:47:32 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] Steal this Star Trek reboot Mr Worf, I don't really care about the notion of a reboot. I think that we're still over-Treked, and need a break from it, success of that movie regardless. I posted this because I know that there are many here in the list who are game for it.

I like the idea of starting out from scratch but I would miss the technology and the characters of a captain Picard. Maybe a good starting point would be after the temporal war that was mentioned in the Enterprise series?

A television reboot is inevitable, and already underway in zippy cinematic form. That being said, a Star Trek television reboot still feels premature. Enterprise is only five years gone and Simon Pegg has only begun to develop a proper Montgomery Scott whiskey belly.
