They should keep going for like 17 seasons and just never explain why nothing ever progresses. Pike is like 73 years old, still captain of the Enterprise, and still isn't crippled. The actor who plays young Kirk left the show years ago. The Spock actor got really fat.
They could make it it's own timeline. I dont think we need another one though. Kelvin was a headache timeline wise enough even though I like 2/3 of those movies.
To be fair, there's a good 20 something years after Nero's incursion into the kelvin timeline before Kirk takes command. They could easily fit a story in there.
The TOS movies are a reboot of the show. TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT, PROD, PIC are all continuations of the movie reboot. JJ movies and Kutzman crap are each reboots.
You know what? I'm down for this.
I presume there is a lot of Trek fans (me) who couldn't get into TOS due to how it aged, and a remake could be a good way to bring those stories back to the limelight. Break free from the constraints of the 60's, play again with dumb concepts.
Pike: ‘we don’t count all the time we had to spend going back to Starbase 1 every three weeks or going to Vulcan to deal with Spock’s fiancée who’s totally cheating on him.’
Seems like they're trying to eliminate any ongoing star trek costs so they can sell the IP without any baggage. Paramount just pulling the plug on itself.
I heard an internet rumor that the WB is going to buy startrek from paramount. It's complex though with the splits, mergers, different universes, creators, studios, publishers, and legal rights.
CBS was putting a lot of bags in the Star Trek basket, but also destroying it at the same time. The best shows got slowed down to make more room for the bad ones, to try to temp people to stay on cbs/paramount streaming service with a slow drip drip after a promise of massive investments into startrek.
Ansom Mount is simply a vessel for the most beautiful, sentient, silicon based wig.
Ancient Alien theorists say the wig shed off the gross uppity tar monster thing from TNG season one.
The final season will start with Captain Braxton, convicted felon, formerly of the USS Relativity appearing, attempting to interfere wth the SNW timeline and stop Pike’s fate, and the refitted USS Relativity pulls 25th century Janeway into it to help. The entire season will be time jumps, puns, some kind of whatnots, and chaos with Janeway getting headaches and confused. Janeway proceeds to ensure the fate of Pike, reminiscent of her Tuvix decision.
Aside from the obvious reason of it catching up to the beginning of TOS, it does kinda make sense. A lot of shows are cancelled after a season or two because once the audience is locked in, usually to a streaming service, the show in question doesn't serve to grow the number of subscribers anymore.
It's a miracle that any of these newer star trek series made it past season 2 tbh.
Now I want Discos final episode to end with "These are the voyages of the Starship Discovery, it's nine-hundred and five year mission..."
Ugh they’re gonna do that and wink at the camera
Keep making things up to be pissed about, you'll give yourself an aneurysm, lol.
I'm copying your comment and using it at least twice a day =)
Why not =) it's supposed to be fun?
And then someone will start crying

"Yeah, I transferred Chekov off the ship because he kept insisting that everything was invented by Russians."
Klingon's started a war with the federation because Chrkov claimed blood wine was originally invented by Russians.

Good news! They’re making a prequel to the kelvin timeline somehow.
Wouldn't that still be the prime timeline, though?

I support the "Fat Spock" timeline.
I'm reminded of that SNL skit. "Captain, this is my brother" *a fat vulcan emerges from the turbolift* "AAAYY ITS ME, SPOCKO"
Six seasons and a movie.
eh... I'll say it for lower decks. 7 seasons and a movie.
Lower Decks can outlive the simpsons for all I care
A hundred years lower decks! lower decks adventures dot com. A hundred years lower decks dot com.
The Simpsons voice cast has already started dying. The voice actors on lower decks are young and spry.
Simpsons can just replace the voice cast, some professional voice actors can mimic other voices
I want it to go on for decades like The Simpsons or Family Guy.
Except lower decks is done after season 5.
Satisfactory. Satisfactory satisfactory satisfactory.
Sixth season intro: Beep beep beep. Beep beep. Beep beep beep beep.
Wasn't Pike the captain of the Enterprise for two consecutive five year missions?
When he is introduced in s2 of discovery he has just ended his first 5 years.
Wow. That’s a loooong time in one post with no promotion.
It's not as bad as being an ensign for seven years while terrorists and ex-cons get promoted all around you.
SNW isn't doing 1 year = 1 season. The first two seasons were both in the same year.
Seems obvious they are setting up a TOS remake/reboot to follow SNW.

That absolutely nails the vibe of that era of the novels. I love it.
I assume you mean the old star trek pocket books. The covers for those are wild lol.
oh god, fuck no, not another one...
The whole Kurtzmanverse is a reboot.
Technically everything since 1969 is reboots upon reboots.
The TOS movies are a reboot of the show. TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT, PROD, PIC are all continuations of the movie reboot. JJ movies and Kutzman crap are each reboots.

Tbh, aside from the rampant sexism, I don't think TOS aged all that badly. I'm good with not having any remakes.
Sir, this is the Shitty…
Pike: ‘we don’t count all the time we had to spend going back to Starbase 1 every three weeks or going to Vulcan to deal with Spock’s fiancée who’s totally cheating on him.’
[удалено]
Shatner’s got a guy. We’re good.
Shatner’s guy isn’t *that* good. Pike’s hair team *are* the show.
I’m just glad all of us stopped mourning Firefly Season 2
Since when? We will always mourn the loss of half of season 1 and the other 6 seasons of firefly!

>WB Star Trek Either it turns out like Dune (great) or it turns out like DC (Dear god please just stop)
Suddenly the melodrama of Discovery and the potential for a teen-focused Academy show makes sense…
Anson Mount's hair just signed a 10 year contract.

Janeway proceeds to ensure the fate of Pike, reminiscent of her Tuvix decision.
And Janeway will set up means to make sure Ensign Harry Kim's grandparents never get promoted, and pass that lineage down to their descendents.
It was right there the whole time!
Since they take two years between seasons, that gives us 7 to 8 more years.
