I want a Star Trek Arrowverse. Like four or five shows happening at the same time all exploring different plots and genres and parts of space/time and that will crossover regularly with each other in big and small ways and where poo poo that happens on one show would have appreciable consequences on the others. TNG/DS9/VOY got close to this, but the overlap wasn't that well done because TNG ended shortly after DS9 started, and then Voyager was too far away to have any meaningful crossovers with DS9 other than Quark showing up in the pilot and then Barkley and Troi showing up occasionally in the later seasons because they were the only ones they could afford or something.

The next closest thing that came to that on TV was the Stargate TV universe, where SG-1 fed into and crossed over with Atlantis, and then elements of both Atlantis and SG-1 cropped up on SG-U on the reg until MGM literally ran out of money and it and SyFy killed the franchise in a blind stupid panic.

I’d make a show set on the Enterprise-J or another Universe class ship because I’ve unironically come to love its design over the 20-ish years since its debut and I love how much it makes nerds irrationally angry when you remind them it exists.


gently caress, ANY show I’d make I would make sure to go out of my way to make Star Trek nerds piss blood with rage because they all suck and are awful.

Does NuTrek still produce things like books of ship blueprints? Things like that were my favorite parts of Star Trek and Star Wars, looking at carefully drawn exploded diagrams of engines and pinpointing where all the black boxes that run on fairy magic are.

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.

a'ight, a'ight, careful, we're getting good dreamtreks in there, I am 100% on board with ragging on the new ships, but this is a thread for dreams and joyful thoughts

Understandable. I was just explaining the reality of the situation. One of these days I'm gonna do a big effort post on my personal Trek Arrowverse idea.

broke: transporters kill you by disassembling your matter into energy and reconstructing a clone on the other side with that energy

woke: transporters create pocket universes in which you are fully conscious and fully material and you just kind of hang out with special effects until you appear at your destination having bear-hugged some random poo poo in the teleport universe but it doesn't turn you into a cronenberg because plot.

Also Lower Decks has established that if you mildly gently caress up a beam in, you can still exist otherwise normally and be fully conscious while being slightly in phase with the cosmetic effect of making you glowy, translucent, and constantly emitting the annoyingly loud transporter hum and it lasts for about a day before it just wears off. And it's completely harmless.

I know that this is the "no negativity" thread, but it's also the "no negativity regarding Star Trek" thread, so I'm within my rights to say how I'm constantly baffled by how stupid and constantly existing-justifying the concept of NCIS is in general. I know it's fictional but are there really that many crimes that happen within or to the US Navy that it needs not just one but at least three whole specialized teams in three separate US cities to investigate them? Like isn't this just an excuse for them to be Super Cops? Do they even remember they're supposed to be a part of the Navy anymore?

It's loving weird man.
