gjnave Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 What do you think of making a Star Trek tv series that is similar to Prison Break or 24? ... One story that continues throughout the whole season instead of serial episodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amnot Borg Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Personally, I just can't get into either series. The concepts are interesting but not stuff I want to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I have not seen 24 or Prison Break. Do you mean like an arc of episodes - like the Dominion war? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Like DS9 seasons 3-7 or ENT season 3 or Voyager season 2 you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exterus Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Star Trek doesn't need a new gimmick. It needs a new, good concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motoxjesse Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I'd watch it, but it would have to be called 27, remember the crazy time on ds9, due to the the planet they were protecting lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 That's a good point, Exterus. The last thing Trek needs is a hamfisted transposition of Jack Bauer in space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjnave Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 I have not seen 24 or Prison Break. Do you mean like an arc of episodes - like the Dominion war? Yes ... but continual without any side stories... cliff hanger episodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudsfather Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 That's a good point' date=' Exterus.

LoveTrek001 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 a theme like that would work for a few episodes. But, imagine the time it takes to travel to another system... LOL... would be a very very long and boring show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 That's easily fixed, just put go faster stripes around the warp core - that's essentially how slipstream works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 what ...ing grreat idea! it wouldnt work on a day to day basis but if a situation developed where it was relevant i think it could work really well. there were situations in DS9 which would have work and they are invariably battles, and in voyager too. it would have to be set up carefully tho. 24 works well cos there are current evebt involved and ideas we are all familiar with. trek isnt quite the same but it think its a cracking idea. imagine a day in the life of the enterprise crew on a special mission or sumthin. wow, cool!

Antipodean Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I reckon that the real time thing would make a great idea for a one off episode, you know - something for the writers to get creative & do something special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Yeah, it could work as maybe a one episode thing but an entire season in the same mould... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Ok - yeah a Real time trek series of trek might work - would be cool if they did it for Voyager - Year of Hell ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Ok - yeah a Real time trek series of trek might work - would be cool if they did it for Voyager - Year of Hell ;) i had a similar thought but couldnt work out how to fit a year in to 24 hours:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be cool... Major interstellar war is about to break out.. yada yada yada... during the season you discover just "how deep the rabbit hole" really is.
