[QUOTE]Originally posted by kmart: [QB] Some really good ideas put forth in this thread. The mini-arc idea is good from a financial viewpoint, as you can amortize visualizing the aliens and their culture over several shows. And the last idea, the Hornblower 'glimpses of a life' notion, is even more appealing. I just think these notions lend themselves to a NON-trek universe, one with more richness and texture and less technobabble. One reason I like these ideas of yours is that I came up with stuff along these same lines, but for an AntiTrek zerobudget film series I tried making myself (in super8 and 16mm) back in the 80s called CRITICAL ORBIT, one that was a more practical-minded universe than Trek but paid a lot of hommage to the Hornblower character-driven aspect. Ran out of money before we could finish it, but in the 90s I reworked it on paper as a series concept (bible plus 40 story outlines) for a disenfranchised career military guy who winds up a privateer-type, and still think it'd be a great way to go if HBO ever got behind the idea of doing a serious SF series. One last thought about how to reinvent Trek: just saw a newspaper ad for Tarantino's KILL BILL that includes the tag line: revenge is a dish best served cold - old klingon proverb THAT guy could really give Trek a shot in the arm, and it wouldn't be a shot of novacaine like Berman&co seem intent on pumping into audiences.
