[QUOTE]Originally posted by HerbShrump: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Da_bang80: [qb] Why make the series about the Feds? I'd like to see a seies about a Klingon captain for once. Maybe a Qud class BOP during the Pacification War or something. Or maybe a female Romulan Tal-Shiar captain who has a thing for Klingon hookers. Interspecies Lesbian action. [/qb][/QUOTE]Setting up a series that appeals primarially with a small, core/nitch audience may be a cool idea, but it won't have a broad enough appeal to pull in the viewers and ratings. The majority of the people are going to watch a series they can relate to. Sadly, the majority of people aren't going to relate to Klingons or Romulans as the main cast. This is the same reasoning why we here in the United States have programs that focus on Americans. We don't have any programminmg where Japanese or other foreign nationalities are the main focus of the cast. People are so myopic they can't identify or relate to anything that is too different from themselves. This is the same reasoning why in Trek all the lead role captains have been human and why humans make up the majority of the cast/crew. It's also why the majority of the starships and plantes have been named after American ships, people or places with strong historic connections to our Anglo-Saxon/Roman/Greek heritage. It's what people know and understand. You name a ship "Gettysburg" and you don't have to explain it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
