The quote that you quote here basically states that no one has yet looked at the script and said "We can do this". Which means no one in specific is yet interested. The "it's not dead yet" part only means they haven't exhausted their options/people to take it to.Dave B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05565133923004044115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33813337.post-90141488499424130782013-11-03T17:27:21.730-05:002013-11-03T17:27:21.730-05:00Which raises the question: if the studios are int...Which raises the question: if the studios are interested in this show, how are they going to make it work?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13571452656553970472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33813337.post-61119427219181729212013-11-03T15:42:12.546-05:002013-11-03T15:42:12.546-05:00If they aren't giving us TNG Worf, its not rea...If they aren't giving us TNG Worf, its not really Worf. Worf is too young to be contemporary with Kirk and Spock (although his *father* is, if you remember Star Trek VI). I can't see them doing a TNG serie, that universe is gone gone gone.<br /><br />The ship has sailed.Paul Weimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02444942522624902562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33813337.post-40280091326001674872013-11-03T14:15:55.737-05:002013-11-03T14:15:55.737-05:00I don't think constantly using time travel is ...I don't think constantly using time travel is a good idea. One of my problems with the Abrams universe is its incessant need to be incestuous with the original canon. Using time travel an excuse to include past characters who otherwise shouldn't be there because they haven't been born yet just seems like cheating to me.<br /><br />But even so, we're talking about all these other TNG characters, some of whom have been around a long time. Worf hasn't. He wasn't born until nearly a hundred after the original series (i.e., the same timeline Abrams has fiddled with). So trying to fit him into this universe would be too much of a cheat, too. This universe isn't the same one that we're used to...so trying to include all these other characters in that universe just seems like more incestuousness and lazy thinking. Abrams would be better off creating new characters.<br /><br />And, as I noted above, it depends which Worf we get. If it's TNG Worf, then he *is* in conflict with the Abrams universe.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13571452656553970472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33813337.post-13656533489467639692013-11-03T14:06:00.817-05:002013-11-03T14:06:00.817-05:00I don't think that a tv series that featured W...I don't think that a tv series that featured Worf as captain is in conflict with JJ Abrams reboot of the Star Trek franchise. In fact there are three characters from the original time line that can appear in the new time line without any conflict. One is Guinian. She was in Times Arrow, establishing her as being on Earth well before the time line changed in JJ Abrams reboot. The second is Wesley Crusher. By the end of TNG, he began his training as a traveler. He can now travel not only through time, but into other dimensions, and other realities. The third character of course is Q, who can appear anywhere with the snap of his fingers. Times Arrow, the two part episode of TNG in its fifth season cliffhanger brought much of the crew back in time before the time line changed in the reboot. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
