Please excuse this irresponsible rumor-mongering, but Ain't it cool news http://www.aint-it-cool-news.com/display.cgi?id=4989 reports that that three possible series 5 concepts are still alive and have been presented to focus groups: Starfleet Academy, Starfleet Seals, and Early Federation. Also check the "talk back" section for comments by people who are not as deep into Trek as we are.

I'm not sure about the rest of you, but a Star Trek SEALs, is sort of my dream. I would like it if they had their own one-of-a-kind ship as well. Not exactly utopian-ish, but my kind of star trek.

I also like the 3rd idea. It would make Star Trek new and fresh. That is what Trek basically needs, a new start and no politics between the writers, producers, etc. Everyone needs to be focussed on their job, and then Trek could return. This idea brings element's of Gene Roddenberry's future back.

Please, for the love of God and all that is holy, let it be the SEALs.

Is the information accurate? I don't know. I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the information. I'm just spreading it. That's why I titled the topic "irresponsible rumor-mongering."

AICN has a terrible, terrible track record w/Trek, as Sol has pointed out. To add to this, IMHO the article does not sound particularly, well, truthful. I'm honestly gonna disregard this...the concepts are really no different than the piles off fannish bullshit that has been flapping around for months now.

Oops. Sorry. I guess this thread is about the Trek article. *L*

Sol: Of course, no offense taken. I'm well aware of the occasional shoddiness of reporting at some sites. Just because I pass the rumor along doesn't mean that I think it's true. I hoped I don't seem that gullible!

TSN: sadly I bet the new CGI transformers movie will be based on the crappy spinoffs! I miss the old show, someday I will by them all on video or DVD! I even have some old Transformers comics somewhere..
Sol: I think AICN has mostly bogus rumours when it comes to anything, and not just trek related.
it's all fan dreams. I vote for a new animated series, with japanese style animation!

Idea 1: 90210, yuk! Idea 2: Not really Federation-like. StarTrek was never supposed to be a kick-ass sci-fi action series. Idea 3: Very high chance of inconsistencies with TOS and TNG and back to cheap looking sixties props isn't possible I think. Pre-TOS would be quite irrealistic, 'cause it should start around 1996!

I've said it before, a Daedalus era series would be very cool but here are the reasons Paramount will NEVER do it:
1) Absolutely no crossover possibilities since none of the TOS characters will have even been born yet. The only way to do this would be to have the crew encounter Picard and company in the Ent E floating in space after being sent back in time or something.
2) Trying to build a bigger fan base will not include going back to retro looking sets and ship designs. While I think the Daedalus Class makes perfect sense and fits in well with the era, Paramount will never sanction showing one week after week when they could be showing Sovies and Akiras blowing things up.
3) This series and the founding days of the Federation would be of little to no interest to anyone who wasn't already a Trek fan. No new viewer base.
All that being said, I would love to see the series on the air.

It'll almost certainly be a Beast Wars/Machines story. Which'll be cool. (Hey, you'd love it Monty if they put the episodes on at a decent time).
As for the ideas. I dunno. On the one hand, I want something different. But then nothing has really jumped out at me yet. And ideas are one thing. Execution is another.
