I would love to see a Captain's Table series; each season could have four different captains swapping stories, each captain taking turns telling 4-5 stories apiece, all the stories set during the Lost Era...
I have all the Captain's Table soft cover books. Pretty good reading...having read them, I don't see the need to have them on film. Probably why they were in book form and not live action filming.
Since I was a kid I’ve always thought a Trek Anthology series would be a winner - individual, self contained bottle episodes jumping from ship to ship, species to species, even era to era… This would be perfect for the Lost Era. A Trek ❤️☠️🤖
I would love to see a young picard time serving on the stargazer and then taken command. I think it would be a good series shich could last about 2 or 3 seasons.
I think that if they do any loss era they’re going to have a young Picard they’re going to now they have a young Kirk. I bet you William Shatner is not happy with all the love Picard is getting this season. After William Shatner didn’t go to Leonard Nimoy‘s funeral I lost all respect for him
@@miko1975guitar Yeah, why rehash old episodes, established characters and same old foes. It's a series about a federation with a fleet exploring the universe. Not a series about 3 or 4 captains that have explored the galaxy.
I've said for a while now that it would be smart to make an anthology series akin to the upcoming Tales of the Walking Dead series, based not on one crew but each episode a standalone story revisiting past characters, telling stories untold or not followed up on main shows. There are so many possibilities, exploring the fates of DS9 and Voyager characters, furthering the Enterprise show that was cut short as it was getting going, exploring past recurring characters such as Ro Laren, Shran, the fate of the Founders, Hugh prior to his appearance in Picard, how Romulus came to be destroyed, the earlier Romulan war which would have been a season 5 Enterprise arc had the show been renewed, there is SO much canon that can be mined for television that I hope this idea will be picked up while we still have surviving cast members able to reprise their roles.
I thought this, maybe like True detective. So maybe 2230s, the tmp era with the great uniforms etc, then right after nemesis. You can have an interconnected mystery as an overarching story but with seperate crews going about their day. I loved tmp as it had a good look. It would be interesting to see such differing aesthetics alongside.
Not sure how I would feel about this, some franchises actually did damage to there series when they attempted to make a movie or series based on an event that was normally just alluded to or talked about later on.
@@jatmo6991 Current Trek isn't the best regarding writing. There seems to be too much focus on quantity and little on quality. Discovery, Picard and the JJverse is really bad.
Discovery is extremely inaccurate…just one example: they didn’t have and invent replicators until much later in the Next Generation, Voyager and DS9 100 years or more later. Also how on earth can they cover up a long War with the Klingons. Like it never happened? Why is the Discovery using Sonar in Space? Why did Spock never mention his super famous Sister to his best friends Kirk and Mc Coy. When Mc coy had Spock’s Katra why didn’t he say anything about Mikey Spock?
I think the problem with a lot of these storylines is that we know exactly what the outcome is; we know who survives and who doesn't, who gets maimed, what the political consequences are, etc. because they're all big historical events. I think doing things like Cpt. Uhura or Cpt. Sulu where they have more freedom to write whatever they want works way better.
Just because we know the outcome doesn't mean we know /how/ they got to that outcome. There's a good argument to be made either way, but I think the Hitchcock quote about tension and drama fits: Spend 10 minutes in a conversation, then suddenly a bomb explodes. That's startling. Tell the audience a bomb will explode in ten minutes and the dread and tension builds until the end. This is more effective.
I agree because people keep telling me to watch DragonBall super but I have a hard time about it because I along with others know where it ends so it feels like the story is tacked on to fill in space
@@Talon1124 no it doesn't. You know whether they will live or whether the bomb will have consequences based on the genre and foreshadowing. I'd love a comedy that ended by killing it's characters in a tragic and horrifying way but that's kinda the only way there is tension any more.
The problem i have with the current long arcs is that they are dragged to much, both the dominion war arcs and xindi arcs while had a primary plot still found a rather ease transition period where we can get other story arc to follow while still maintaining the main arc, discovery on the other hand always feels like it is draging it season long arcs to much, the species 10c arc certainly took way longer than it should have, i think the best compromise is how enterprise s4 did it, we can get several 2 to 3 ep long arcs that can tell good stories but dont drag it out too long for one point to another.
I just got the Eaglemoss Cerritos and in the booket there's and interview with Mike McMahan where he said he was told he could pick where he was most comfortable in the timeline to set Lower Decks. So if a new show creator wanted to set something in the lost era they probably could. I think an animated show might work too especially if they wanted to do a Sulu show without having to exhaust George Takei.
I've had ideas about this Era for about 20 years now back when I was an active member on the TrekBBS Forum. My idea was to dive into the Romulan War which ultimately gave us Worf.
Don't forget Gary Seven & Teri Garr's characters in the original ST. It was supposedly a pilot for a 60s series on Earth, but with an alien race supporting them.
Another interesting subplot for Strange New Worlds or perhaps another series would be to see how a younger James T. Kirk and Carol Marcus' relationship began
There was like a 10 book series about that time line with Dr Carol Marcus, called Star Trek Vanguard. It involves an extremely remote Federation Deep Space station called Vanguard and Kirk was on his first 5 year mission. Great series 👍
I've always thought that our never getting an Ambassador class hero ship was tragic considering how gorgeous it is, how excellent a visual bridge between original-era and next gen-era it is, and the fact that they built the damn model anyway and it looked gooood.
@@Daeduluus You know that the Discovery episode "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad", written by Jesse Alexander & Aron Eli Coleite, who also wrote another episode together, got nominated for a Hugo, right?
I think a great thing would be Star Trek Klingons a series from the Klingon point of view. The first episode could start from Praxis so it would be during this lost time period. They could expound in the augments and problems with the Romulans. They could introduce new species from their borders that are not with the Romulans or Federation. But they need to make them look and speak English like in the Next Gen time frame.
feels like a big commitment and risk without a guaranteed audience; I think they should first produce a 3 episode ‘special event’ (because ‘mini-series’ is a dirty word now I guess) chronicling Mogh’s suffering Duras’s betrayal at Khitomer… if they make numbers, it might make sense for them to develop show following Klingons, who go through some interesting things between Praxxis blowing up and the Romulan Partisan Civil War
i don't want a Klingon series. they basically tried to do that the first season of Discovery and we all know how that came out. the producers had to revamped the series twice
The Captain Worf series should never happen. It was never set up or even hinted at. A series set after DS9 showing Worf helping Martok rebuild The Empire after the Dominion war would be superb.
Worf was warned a command was unlikely. DS9 and TNG had him as Klingon Ambassador and it seems to fit well, not sure where to books went. That aside Worf as Captain does not sound that interesting on its own, we've seen him command a ship in epic battles.
I just love the monster maroon uniforms and the ships of this part of Star Trek history. Even if there isn’t a series, I want them to be featured again in flashbacks like in TNG & Voyager.
I'm not sure if anyone has commented on this yet, but I'm surprised you guys missed the Easter Egg. Leodegrance is the character that Patrick Stewart played in the 1981 fantasy classic Excalibur.
I agree with you. I'd love a series set on the Enterprise B, then a continuing series set on the Enterprise C. However, I also think the period between the final episode of Enterprise set in 2161 and the launch of the NCC 1701 Enterprise in 2345 is also unexplored. Also, we have not seen the original five years of the Enterprise under Captain April, pre Pike and Pre Kirk. I'd love to see that.
Not quite willing to use the “obsessed” term, but I must admit I get that tingling, giddy excitement when I discover a new Trek Culture/Sean Ferrick video has been posted! 😉
I have reservations about Star Trek exploring moments of history that were only spoken about. They did this a couple of times in Battlestar Galactica (particularly, what happened on the Pegasus) and it never turned out that great. I think I like the continued focus on new eras, even though Star Trek Discovery could do so much more with the 30th century. WHERE ARE THE XINDI???
Seriously where are the Xindi. They got namedropped ONE TIME in Beyond, and that’s all we got after Enterprise ended nearly 20 years ago. I WANNA SEE XINDI QDAMNIT
Oh my gosh, I LOVE this channel. It’s so great to see people who are as obsessed with Trek (maybe even more) than I am! Keep it up! I’m going back and binging all the content. 🖖
😁 I think the Marvel and Star Wars franchises have proved that you can do anything with animation. Who needs to recast, retcon, and reboot when you can get some good voice actors to tell these great stories that are just waiting to live on screen?! There are great animation production houses in Japan, US, and Europe who could bring this wonderful content to bright, beautiful life! I'd love to see it all!
Love the monster maroons. The alterations to them were probably due to heat/comfort reasons. Big jacket over a turtleneck sweater under hot studio lights on a hot day, doing action scenes...
I'm sure that this has been said before, but in the movie Excalibur, Patrick Stewart plays King LeodeGrance. About the only reason there would be a Starship named for him.
I would love to see this series. I think that the series finale should be Yesterday's Enterprise but from Enterprise C's perspective leading up to their capture by Romulan warbirds.
I think Rand deserves her time on screen. I know the original actress isn't around anymore but an homage I think is morally necessary if for only 1 episode rather then a cameo.
Trek could do an animated anthology series much like Marvel's What If (and it's animation style). This would allow many actors to return because it's just voices. Personally I'd like to see alternate Tasha Yar's story after she went back in time with the Enterprise C.
As mentioned by her daughter, later in TNG, Tasha Yar was captured, brutalized, and raped by the Romulans after Narendra 3. Where can they go with that? Enterprise -C went directly back to the battle, and got destroyed, the crew abandoned ship, and got captured or killed.
Yes to an American Horror Story style season! One and done season, where the ships can be redressed as the next ship to save cost. But... not 10 episodes, 16 episodes split into two. Then end with Star Trek Frontier with Captain MacKenzie Calhoun. (Who should have been brought up in Picard imo)
Technically not a lost era episode, but I'd really like to see when the Klingons killed there gods, I forget the two who do but I believe its the first ever two Klingons. Though it really wouldn't be your average Star Trek show, but still I really wish they'd make a show more about Klingon lore.
I’ve been dying for a ‘lost era’ series. I’m with you. I think they can succeed with a ‘Lower Decks’ approach. Because everyone is so far aged, voice acting is the way to solve the problem. Sulu and Harriman can find themselves on screen. Plus I’d like to see Cardassia pre-militarization.
If cost is an issue, they could always do a different story each week like Marvel's What If or Star Wars Visions (I know those were alternate versions, but still). It could be animated, which would also allow people to come back and voice without recasting due to age and such. Just my thoughts.
Star Trek Mudd: The star fleet encounters, Star Trek Mudd: The Kingon encounters, Star Trek Mudd: The Cardassians encounters. Harvey Mudd has one season arcs in the in between years touching on charters like Dax as Federation ambassador, or Sulu as Captain. Perhaps while smuggling for Dukat (mudds women anyone), Quark, and/or the resistance Mudd gets Sara to earth to meet Ben Sisko.
I'd also love some pre-warp origin stories. Not only earth's eugenics/nuclear wars but Klingons before and after the invasion of the Hur'q or the warrior Vulcans that gave rise to the Romulans, who could be a potential spinoff.
I really wanted to see the Sulu series when it was first announced. I think it could still be done, but now it would have to be George Takei introducing each episode, probably by telling his grandchildren about his 'old adventures' as Captain, than 'fading into' that adventure, where Sulu is played either by a new actor, or an actor who had been Deep Faked to look like young George Takei (tech is getting better and better each year).
I've always thought there should be something like the outerlimits but set in the star trek universe. Each episode is a stand alone mini movie that maybe ties together at the end. Like you could have a much of scientific exeriment episode a coup on an alien planet. At the end you find out section 36 has been putting these puzzel peices in place for something. The outer limits never had a problem building something like a bridge set for one episode, it seems they build all their stuff as modules that slot together. It would also work like pilot season. If one has a lot of potential spin it out into a full show.
BERSERKER WARS…Fred Saberhagen wrote a sci fi, book series long before the Next Generation about these Borg/Terminator like, ships set loose in the Universe to eradicate all life. Humanity wars against these Berserker ships over thousands of years, during many time periods, on many different planets in space and in many locations across the Galaxy. There is even a Wolf 359 type battle to defend Earth by a fleet Admiral Carlson not Picard.
Sulu could always be the narrator and John Cho is now old enough to play Captain Sulu in this universe. You can do the same for an anthology series intro new younger actors and the older actors narrating and tell the stories. You can uses the same bridge in Captain Sulu, Captian Harriman, and Captain Sulu series.
We tried to get Star Trek: Excelsior going back in the day with The EXCELSIOR CAMPAIGN and the powers that be wouldn't listen. George Takei was even on board! -- They gave us Enterprise instead. See what happens when you don't listen?
To be fair though, Michael Dorn’s comment about the Klingon makeup was after he saw the makeup Mary Chieffo had to wear and realized he’d probably have to wear the same makeup if he came back to play Worf again
1) The solution is simple. Just retool Short Treks. Rather than 15 minute episodes, make it a test bed. Ten episode arcs of a show, flesh out characters on DISC, and so forth. Turn Short Treks into the full out anthology series. 2) Enterprise S5...you could set it at the beginning of the Romulan-Earth war. Captain Sato has taken over as captain of the Enterprise with Archer appearing as Starfleet's C-n-C. 3) looking at the comments, I'm still amazed at how many comments are right out of 1987. The more things move in a linear fashion, the more they seem to be stuck in a temporal loop.
Starfleet Academy, maybe? But a Starfleet Medical? I think an "ER in Star Trek dressing" would be terrible! We already have too many "hospital dramas" as is!
@@johnmullholand2044 it’s Star Trek. It doesn’t have to remotely be a standard medical drama. It can be whatever they want. Which could be awesome. Thank you for your opinion.
I would LOVE a Captain Sulu series. By now, the character would need to be recast, but this could be a GEM of a series we as Trek fans would love to experience.
Great point! I would love to see something from this era! Well done on the snap and the change to the old uniform! I applaud you! Well done. Well done! 👏👏
I wanna see a series with a season of captain sulu’s adventures, a season of John Harriman’s adventures, Sulu’s daughter as captain, and a season of the enterprise c.
I'd love to see a series from this era... but I'd note there are really 2 such lost eras... there is also the time from 2163-2244. This era also has my all time favorite larger bridge design... the Enterprise B... I like it more than the C, more than the D, more than anything other than perhaps the Enterprise E.
I loved the book about the Tomed Incident and the truth behind it. I’m honestly surprised a certain agency wasn’t involved (they we know of). It’s too bad all we know about Harriman from canon is that he’s the “Tuesday Guy”. He comes into his own in the books, which take place many years later with him being an experienced captain in command of the flagship, eventually handing command over to Demora Sulu
Walter Koenig reprised his role as Chekov, this time an admiral, in the fan-made Renegades. Along with Tim Russ (Tuvok), Richard Herd (Admiral Paris), Manu Intitaymi (Icheb), and Robert Picardo (Zimmerman). Other known actors include Sean Young, Gary Graham, Edward Furlong, and Corin Nemec. And Grant Imahara
I would absolutely support an anthology series like you discussed in whatever form that takes. Being able to visit different stories would be fantastic.
Imagine a show with Walter Koenig as Chekov, but he plays Chekov like Bester from B5. He could be fucking terrifying! He's be the perfect antidote to all the goody-goody StarFleet characters over the years.
Probably not cost effective, but I'd love to see a series where each episode is about one character and their life before or after whatever series they were from. They'd be self contained episodes obviously, but I just feel like the potential would be fantastic. Like one episode could be about someone from Voyager trying to fit back in to life after they returned in the finale, another episode could say be about Reed from Enterprise and how he dealt with Tucker's death. I just feel like the possibility would be endless for that kind of series.
Star Trek has time police/Temporal Agents, it could be about them observing or fixing events in the timeline, a la Quantum Leap or Dragonball Xenoverse.
Definitely need a show in that period but we need a show the depicts nothing but the romulan war ending with the federation being founded and Scott bakula would be nice and old for that ending
I mentioned in previous comments that the Enterprise C was launched in 2332 so that Enterprise was only in service for 12 years not 4 before that fateful encounter at Nerendra 3.
I have always said they could do an anthology type series based on one class of ship since they all have different jobs. Just change crews and the ship names each season. They only have to build one set, but change out the accessories for the crewmen’s personal quarters. I also think a real “second contact” series would be great.
Tomed Incident, First contact with Cardassians and Talarians... and MUCH more!!! It could be an anthology series, "Star Trek Stories: The Lost Era", where every season would tell us a different story taking place during the period.
The young Worf you mentioned was rescued by humans from Khitomer so he'd be there at some point toward the end. Him and his brother? What about him in the Academy? Or Data? Data being found? Chief O'Brien as Tactical Chief of the Routledge? Picard on the Stargazer? Riker as first officer of the Hood? There are so many avenues to explore not to do so smacks of laziness. As you said the C met the D in 'Yesterday's Enterprise', and Tasha Yar ended up on the C. The C went forward 22 years so we know exactly when this should be.
That is an excellent video. It would be lovely to see all these events. One thing that would be interesting would be a series about a civilian ship that's not part of Starfleet. I'm not sure how long Kasidy Yates was around before DS9 but a show about her and the Xhosa would be nice and something different.
