Post Comment to: First Photos From Special Sets Built For "In a Mirror, Darkly" (SPOILERS)

Message you're replying to Classic, yet timeless.... By falcon Folks, I don't know about you, but that Bridge set still screams "future" even after almost 40 years! Seeing this set makes me think that, if done right (and well), a Star Trek series set during the original five-year mission would still work. Some of the sets are still dated, that's a given. But with today's SFX, the ability to use plasma (or LCD) monitors in the upper viewscreens, floor lighting such as indicated in the pictures (although maybe not as intense) and more practical lighting (like Battlestar Galactica), such a design could still look futuristic as hell. And the basic design of the USS Enterprise has not really been improved upon in the last four decades. I once saw a post (I don't remember if it was on TrekWeb or not) that featured pictures of Kiefer Sutherland as Capt. James T. Kirk, Gary Sinese as Dr. McCoy, and Denzel Washington as Spock. While that last one is truly a mind-boggling stretch IMNSHO, the first two are definitely within the realm of possibility. Both are established TV actors (with movie experience), and both could give those roles credibility (the creator of 24 stated in a recent interview that Jack Bauer is just like Capt. Kirk). I'm not saying duplicate the roles exactly...how about changing up the crew a bit, say add some new roles to take the places of Uhura, Chekov, and Sulu? I still think you'd need a Scotsman as the engineer, but that's just me. With kick-a$$ scripts (something which, sadly, is still lacking in the Star Trek universe), state-of-the-art SFX, some name stars like Sutherland and Sinese, and a decent time slot, Star Trek could fly again as a weekly series...and it wouldn't really need to be "re-imagined." I know I'm gonna get flamed for this, but this might be the best possible scenario for allowing Star Trek to live beyond ENT. Of course, it'll only work if 24 and CSI: New York are cancelled, but hey, we're probably talking years into the future anyway. Compose your message		Status You are not logged in.
