Would anyone actually be down for “year one”?

I’m a broken record on this now, but I personally really dislike the idea of Trek doing the whole nostalgic reboot thing. And I’ve even found it kind of offensive that SNW has become such an obvious vehicle for it because for me the charm of the show was to reimagine what TOS quite literally could have been (as the continuation of the first pilot rather than the second pilot which is what we got with TOS).

I’m sure there’s a pitch to studios that could work, but in the grander scheme of Trek, I’m just not sure it’s at all a good idea.

I mean SNW is just generally good quality Trek. If the only way we get good quality Trek is latching it to existing Trek eras, then fine.

But I think exploring new eras is what makes Trek fun and interesting. I wasn't a fan of the Discovery time jump, but the concept of The Burn was interesting. Once they had done it and began to explore it, I was interested, even as the quality was uneven.

I maintain that one of the biggest problems with Enterprise was that after three excellent 90s Trek shows we were ready to explore the galaxy. Especially after Voyager, we're finally home! But then we're reset back to the start. I was excited by Picard because we finally started exploring that era. Although we didn't really have a fun series in that era until Lower Decks.

But that's what excited me about Starfleet Academy. We're in the far future, we're rebuilding the Federation, we're starting with the cadets, I'm in! And... it's gone.

So if Year One is how we get good Trek, so be it. But I want to continue the stories we're already telling. We've already set it up after Picard season 3. We gave Seven a ship. Let's go follow that.

That's pretty much where I'm at. Is it something I think I desperately need? Not by a long shot.

Could they do something interesting with it? Sure, I guess.

OH FOR FUCK’S SAKE!!!!

There is NO MORE TREK. Y’all killed it with your endless criticisms. You killed Discovery. You killed Picard. You killed Academy.

Now the hate and unfounded criticism goes to whatever’s left, meaning SNW gets it now?

FFS!!!

I need to find a way to watch this that doesn’t give money to anyone called Ellison (Harlan excepted unless he’s done anything crook).

[–] billmason@startrek.website 6 points 1 day ago

I find the idea that anyone is still talking about "Year One" with a straight face pretty frakking hilarious.
