Related to a recent thread about love for SNW.
I’m worried that the suits at Paramount are under the misconception that the love for SNW is somehow inextricably tied to TOS.
i really think that’s not the case, and has more to do with the fantastic cast, writers, and return to Trek’s roots.
i’m really sad to see it ending. there’s been talks of following it up with a new TOS reboot, but that’s actually NOT what i want. i already have TOS.
what i REALLY want is a Capt. Una spin-off show.
how do people feel about that? has there been any official mention of the concept? are they even aware of that as a possibility that fans might want?
thoughts?

I was under the impression that they do exactly the opposite of what fans want. So, Paramount, if you’re listening, we want a TOS reboot, more Section 31, and everything as movies, please. Under no circumstances do we want an episodic Captain Una show! Please do a prequel to Enterprise instead, but with Borgs. And I mean the ones from Picard S2, of course.
A new Star Trek (2027) that just continues from SNW would be great!
Reboot’s are overly maligned. And continuity is a nievely harmful fantasy. You realise TOS got up to warp 14 or something right? It could do with a new version.
P. S. I’m being serous. I’m not playing your childish reverse psychology nonsense game.
Not sure I’d want a full TOS reboot, but I think a few more retcons wouldn’t hurt so long as they’re in the overall spirit of Trek.
What I’ve mentioned before that I think would be interesting to see is a remake of the TAS episode Yesteryear. Most TAS stories are probably best left as such, or else they would lose their campy charm, but I think Yesteryear could benefit, especially from the dramatic storytelling recent live action Trek has focused on. We could get so much good Vulcan lore out of it, and I’d hope they could do awesome set and costume design.
In my ideal episode, it’s still weeks to months until Sarek takes in Burnham; I feel like otherwise, Spock wouldn’t have to be going back in time to save himself.
Personally, I wasn’t particularly enthused with the character. I didn’t gravitate towards her at all. If they did something like that, I’d still check it out because SNW was so good, but I’d rather see something with Ortegas (not as captain, obviously).
Sounds great to me. And far better than this Starfleet Academy tripe.
I don’t think they’re doing so much of a TOS reboot as a TOS continuation with some retconning and reusing some SNW sets and cast.
I’ve heard it floated around that it would depict the start of Kirk’s mission, which TOS didn’t depict, showing the crew already relatively comfortable with the ship. Personally, I’d like them to something of a year 4/5 that takes place either during or after TAS. As I mention elsewhere in this thread, I think “Yesteryear” would be an awesome remake; it could be pulled off in one 50 minute episode (already double TAS length), but I think it would be awesome to extend it to a two parter.
