There's no way not to. On an unrelated note why isn't that like the very first idea JK Rowling went with when designing new Harry Potter instead of all this "Fantastic Beasts" garbage? Hogwarts is literally all most people care about in Harry Potter whether they admit it or not, so just send some new kids there. I say do Starfleet Academy for the moralizing, do Star Trek: Andromeda like suggested above to get the astropolitical stuff out and get into exploring and survival and the moral quandaries that arise, and then do a show on a Starbase in the post-VOY era trying to deal with all of the ludicrous bullshit expansion and geopolitics of DS9, VOY, and even Nemesis/2009. Hits all three prongs I want out of Trek without any one overwhelming the premise of the others

I see potential there-- like showing that sure you don't have to work but there's an insidious social pressure to avoid being indolent, and how stuff like "Keeping up with the Joneses" manifests in a world where you can both have equally excellent wardrobes and toys. Snotty and snobby people who twist Federation Values into a way to avoid integrating immigrants they don't like. Hell you could even get topical and focus in on social media as a form of currency in a post-scarcity society.

nine-gear crow posted:Aside from Discovery's re-imagining of the original Enterprise and Disco itself, most of the ships in NuTrek kind of lackluster and stink of "video game NPC asset reuse that you're not supposed to see on screen for more than three seconds" compared to the post-First Contact non-hero ships. So they're not really the stuff you can publish metatextual blueprint books on or make Eaglemoss models out of. e.g: "Why would we want to do that nerd poo poo?" attitude that permeates the first two NuTrek movies. Although to be completely fair the economic considerations did change pretty drastically from the late 90s. Print book margins are slimmer than ever, so why go in so hard on drawing up fictional blueprints and selling them?

I want a full-on Trek love triangle romance starring some Science department dorks. The Trek stuff is 100% a backdrop and it's a dead-serious romance between a geologist, a botanist, and a biologist cataloging samples on a beautiful, idyllic alien world. There's no hint of any danger or adventure, it's just three colleagues (maybe one of them is the immediate superior or field leader) working out their feelings. Only there's two things to differentiate it: 1. poo poo that would normally be a huge issue in other rom-coms like miscommunications or finances get cleared up right away thanks to Magic Technology and Space Socialism. Really sell the romance of living in a world where love and the joy of your work are at the forefront of life. 2. Using normal Trek conventions we get to see the romance eventually spiral out into really dark places. Replicated pheromones, holodeck creeping, illicit use of transporters to pop in unexpectedly, falsified records... the kind of stuff you'd expect young, hot, crazy people lusting after each other to do if they had access to those tools. By the end absolutely everyone has revealed themselves to be monsters trying to overengineer paradise to their own selfish ends.

This may read as negative or even spiteful, but in my Dream Trek I want it outed that Section 31 is mostly a bunch of desk jockeys and boys with toys who couldn't handle face to face relations and only pretend to run the Federation because it makes them feel big.

That sounds close to the ultra-sarcastic "Special Circumstances" show of my dreams.

Ngl if they actually did that they'd probably get a lot of viewers. 7 of 9 carried Voyager's entire marketing campaign on her back for years.

Boomers want to watch superhero shows as long as they don't "feel" like superhero shows. That's all NCIS is.
