Actually, these guys are doig a pretty good job of a remake without Paramount. They've even gotten some of the old cast to make appearances

according to your link, they DID bring back Christopher pike! hooray!
edit: is John Kelly by any chance related to DeForrest Kelly?
reedit: nevermind, last name is spelled "kelley"
Yeah, it was pretty cool. Downloading the last episode they put out is worth the time. Plus they are about to put out another oneQuote:

Besides TNG which had an array of great episodes that involved drama and/or action and Deep Space Nine had some of the same, but the overall tone of Deep Space Nine greatly improved when they encountered the Dominion.
Star Trek needs that great threat, be it Klingons, Borg, Dominion or whatever. The mistake, I think, that Star Trek made was not ushering in the Borg into the theater EARLIER (like as the follow-up to the cliffhanger in "best of both worlds pt. I") I also think that they easily could have had a Dominion-centered feature during that run. Instead, we get the somewhat diffuse and irrelevant storylines in Insurrection and even Nemesis.
Star Trek's original motion pictures had the option of creating something from whole cloth (or carrying it forward from the old show, like Khan.) The newer ones did not and other than First Contact, seemed pretty lame to me. They also don't seem to have storyline of their own like the first crew did (IV hinged on III to an extent, which hinged on II. V was uh...ok, but VI hinged on the Klingon-Federation thing which had long been established in the mythology.)
I don't know, I think this idea is stupid. The only people I accept as Kirk and Spock are in their 70s now. Why the hell are they going backwards when they need to go FORWARD with the series and its ideas.
i think we need a new startrek series with another memerable captain. and no, i don't consider "enterprise" as part of the star trek series.
or they can do as i suggested earlier and bring back pike
Yeah, tell me about it. I had stopped watching DS9 then I rediscovered it on re-runs and after I bought the buggy but fun Dominion Wars game, I watched those episodes--they were GREAT!Quote:

I think the mistake ST has made, besides all these silly departures (like Voyager and Enterprise) has been that they've shot their wad in the series and we are left with movies that feel like normal episodes. None of the casts have the big-screen charisma of the original crew (who knew that they'd even translate, but they did.) It also doesn't help that the computer effects advanced so much and they spent so much per episode that some of the later episodes seemed like movies.
dammit! i'm getting so confused with the kell(e)ys!
the website said his last name was kelly, but the IMDB said it was "kelley" which still leaves it as a possibility he's related to the original "bones"
I don't think they're related
JMS- James Michael Strasinki- not sure about his last name. He's the guy behind Bablyon 5. He said he had a great idea for a new trek show but nothing come off it and he's currently working on a new show.
Star Trek needs to be taken away from Rick Berman- who destroyed the franchise.
DS9 was different but good. Voyager had potential but it was poor show- though I sure loved Breast errr Seven on Nine. Enterprise was the same way. Good potential but didn't get executed.
Any future Trek: movies or new tv shows- needs to be in the hands of people who have never done trek. The current people ruined the franchise. I welcome JJ Abrams but not sure about the premise of the movie.
I think any new movie or show needs to be set in the future- beyond NEXT Generation.
I hope this doesn't have anything to do with the numbers that the Star Wars prequels brought in.
This is good news.
THE WRATH OF JJ ABRAMS

http://chud.com/nextraimages/2khaaaaan.jpgExtra, extra! Empire Online explodes the latest Star Trek rumors in a gripping interview with Mission: Impo:ssible: 3 director JJ Abrams where he denies that his take on Trek XI will be Starfleet School Daze with Kirk and Spock. And get this – he may not even be directing it!
"The whole thing was reported entirely without our cooperation,” he tells the cinephiles Limeys. "People learned that I was producing a Star Trek film, that I had an option to direct it, they hear rumours of what the thing was going to be and ran with a story that is not entirely accurate."
Abrams won’t discuss what his take on XI will be, but doesn’t rule out an appearance by the original series favorites: "Those characters are so spectacular. I just think that… you know, they could live again."
It was all too weird to be true. Honestly, if M:I:3: is as good as people keep saying, I have a hard time believing the guy will jump into the director’s chair of that sagging space franchise. He’ll surely be a hands on producer, but I’m betting someone else takes the conn.
I have always hoped for a Klingon series. The story lines would be fresh and the politics involved in some of the TNG shows were interesting.
