If and when they begin the VOY movie series what shall it be about? I think Species 8472 would make great villians. How come they never got an official name?

I don't think they can make a "Voyager" movie for reasons that should be obvious to anyone who knows how the series ended.
As for Species 8472... After they had been called that for a couple years, any change to a different name would have confused the average idiot watching the show. And, since the show was basically written for the average idiot, they had to keep the same name.

Besides, they're friendly and philosophically superior to us and gives us roses when they want to impress us. No wait, that was just the one guy that couldn't separate himself from the human role he was playing. AAARRGH!!!
They gave 8472 too much power from the beginning, it was so obvious they had to either become allies or erase the milky way in a jiffy. Hmmm, probability check?

I don't know how the series ends... but you could - I gather say the same about the end of Deep Space Nine... it doesn't really leave itself open for movies. The thing is - they don't have to have a movie continuing on from where the series left off. DS9, would be fantastic if they had a movie that dealt with even during season 4, 5, 6 or 7... Possibly even season 3.

What are Humans classified as? Species 47? As for the Voyager movie, they'll pobably skip it, and DS9 too, and make an Enterprise movie. Hopefully they won't, but that's the way the Berman world turns.

I thyink they will probably make a film most likely VOY. If not what will Paramount do until Enterprise is over. They might have a movie at the end of every 2 seasons or something like that.

Well, the Vulcans are Species 3259...& I think that humans are Species 10032, but don't quote me on that.

I will not quote that, and I know you are not sure, but it's just that we only were classified after 10,031 other species seems a little off. How many can there be in the galaxy? Millions? Billions? Trillions?

A seven year run on Enterprise would go 2001-2008. The next Trek film is due 2002, right?
So we could have one more TNG film in 2005, and in 2008, we'd get an Enterprise film. That's still only 3 years between films, which has happened before.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

There's an actual Species List available on startrek.com in the new Borg Culture section, check it out...
As to Voyager Movies, good and bad news for all of you depending on if you liked it or not. Patrick Stewart in a recent convention suggested, if not confirmed, that we'll be seeing the Voyager cast in movies within the near future... head on to section31.com if you'd like to read the report there.

I can't imagine Robert Beltran agreeing to do a Voyager movie.
IMNSHO, DS9 not only left itself open for a movie much moreso than Voyager, but would would make a much better movie than Voyager.
As far as going back and doing a movie set in an earlier season...uh...no. Unless you've written an opeing for such a feat within the series, you'd have to go back and try to "fit" the movie into what has already happened. I don't even want to take that chance...
I can't even think of a wide enough period of time that was left unaccounted for...but there probably is one...

Robert Beltran will have do something. I don't think he wants to appear at conventions and openings the rest of his life. On the matter of DS9 films the few eps I've seen I agree they should go first. I hope VOY is a flop and they will have to do DS9 films.
