Jump 900 years into the past and do a period costume drama.
I always figured TAS was the final two years of the five-year mission...
I think Goldsman's actual statement is pretty vague - he could easily mean a spinoff with the non-TOS cast. Just redress the sets and you're off to the races.
He could also mean a movie, or...some third thing.
And in any case, he's moving on with his career.
It's cool that they're excited about possibilities, but I remain very skeptical that there's any actual traction there.
The pass, which launches on Friday, doesn't require registration or a physical card. Instead, the benefits will be available upon arrival at parks, national museums and when booking train tickets. Canadians and foreign tourists are eligible.
It's not really a "pass" then, but cool.
Heck, it was pretty much Goldsman's pitch:
In the first pitch document that we sent to the network… we opened with a question asking, “What if we just did Star Trek?” And they said, “Okay.” Every day in the writers’ room, we try to imagine how would Gene Roddenberry and his team make The Original Series if they were doing it today?
I just clued in that you're visiting from a Mastodon server. In that case, it's unfortunately two clicks - first the startrek.website link, then the Gizmodo link that goes to the actual article.
Federation is an imperfect beast sometimes.
~~If you're interested in the article, you could try, y'know, reading it.~~
Edit: I was being a bit of a dumb-dumb.
Like the article says, the early seasons are often given short shrift due to what comes later, but there's some great stuff in there.
I mean, I think the Kurtzman era has been quite successful, but he's had the job for quite a while now. It's possible he'll choose to move on once his contract is up.
But yeah, with Paramount in such a state of upheaval...nothing surprises me any more.
Eh?
