[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] from Section 31.com [QUOTE]Another source claiming to be from Paramount has contacted Trekweb and given them the following info regarding Series V... The source, unfortunately, did not provide enough information to accurately confirm whether these credentials are valid, though the nature of the information is clearly above the "I read the script" or "I've seen the casting sheet" variety of weeks gone by. 1. The new ship is the Enterprise -- but it's "I", not "F" or "E" or any letter in-between 2. As you guessed from #1, V is set in the future -- to be more specific about 150 years after the current timeline 3. Scott Bakula is the Captain -- and the character is definitely more of a "cowboy" like Kirk. His first officer is a Romulan -- and a female. The rest of the info on the casting sheet that went out is crap. 4. Enterprise I is not on a mission of discovery -- it's a warship (and wait 'til you see what the designers came up with!). There's a war on and the Federation isn't doing so hot. And the enemy? I'll save that "little" tidbit for later -- no Borg thank God! I think the fans are really going to love it -- even I was blown away when I first heard about it.[/QUOTE] Hmmmmmmmmm, well well well... I must say this info DOES sound a little better than the prequal idea... Although the idea of the Enterprise being a WARSHIP... is nasty. The whole Cowboy thing + War + Warship... sounds like the premise to Andromeda?? Or some other shows... There have been PLENTY of War shows... I think the only shows out there that have worked without being around War... are TNG and Stargate-SG1... oh and these shows have open ended premises... not "When will they get home" or "When will he find a wormhole home" or "When will he find his lost love from the Tantalus Colony" or "When will they reach the new 'home' on Earth 2" or "When will they... etc. etc. because once they've done that - the show is finished... DS9 - worked VERY well, and included WAR and peace... balanced... political intruige, the nature of faith and still dealing with fighting for peace/ having peace/ dealing with an alien situation/ and STILL exploring strange new worlds... except they were closer to home. Another problem with this new info is the "Fanboyishness" of it... BTW, not wanting to blow my own... trumpet? But I had ideas LONG ago after DS9 finished, or actuctually during its seventh season for a post DS9 series... dealing with the aftermath of the Dominion War... with a Romulan XO. [/QB][/QUOTE]
