Rick Berman has revealed that the 5th series will take place on a starfleet starship. Some company was commisioned to make props i think it was for series 5, and were told that the show would take place 400 years in the future. As the company itself did not exsist in the 24th centruy, I think that this means series 5 is gonna take place 400 years into our furture, that is the late 24th or early 25th century. Berman also said that this series is unlike any trek before (that is actually the same thing he said about DS9 and Voyager before they started, and he was probabaly in someway right for both of them). Berman also said that this new show would go more back to the heart of trek than any other series.
Now what does anyone think this series might be about? Guessing might get us no where, but it might be intresting. I'm gonna guess on a starfleet ship exploring the gamma quadrant of a now peaceful dominion. Think of it, such a series would explore issues back at the root of trek (a hopeful view of the furture in which we have given up war for peace). Any other ideas? BTW, guessing that the new starfleet ship would be some kind of exissting class i believe would lead to an incorrect guess. I'm sure that the ship would be a new one. There are some viewers ou there who might just watch the series to get a look at the ships, and paramount would loose these few viewers if they used an exsisting design.

Given the era in which Series-5 will take place, and the statement of Berman that the series will be entirely something else, I guess it will be about a Starfleet Timeship (like the Aeon and Relativity).
OTOH, if the series will get back to the roots of Trek, I think that Starfleet is able to conduct intergalactic travel (transwarp? quantum slipstream?), and meets an enemy in the Andromeda Galaxy. A new war.

OH MY GOD!!! What have they done? The entire Star Trek timeline will be further contaminated, contradicted, and be shit. What the hell are they thinking? Why don't they just continue down the current timeline?

I think A fresh start in the future (25th century or further) is a good idea. The TNG-DS9-Voy timeline hasn't got much to offer any more. Let's see: - DS9 has ended. - TNG's last movie is coming next year. - Voyager's last season ends next year.
I think 2001 is a nice year to end the complete TNG-DS9-Voy timeline (Except maybe for a few Voyager movies).
They need to make a step forward into the future to move beyond the TNG-DS9-VOY timeline. Make a fresh start. I sertainly hope it's going to be a 29th century series.

However I still like my idea of an intergalactic war. What do you guys think?

Whatever you opinion on war in trek is, berman said that the new series wa more trek than any other since TNG, and this proabably means a show that has a rather peaceful setting overall. Sure there will still be conflicts and enemies, but no full scale war. BTW, i would not want to watch a trek compleytely about war. DS9 was about alot more than just the war. i think a trek series focusing on war would be pretty sad. it would turn out more like that show "space:above and beyond" which is now restriceted to being on the air at about 2pm on sunday afternoons here cause it became so bad.

geez, how long are these things gonna go on? By the time everyone finishes talking about the 5th series anything they do roll out is going to be anti-climatic.
