Titled “Star Trek: The Same Generation” or “ST:TSG”, the series will be set on the Starship Exeter in the same time period as the original series, even occasionally running into the USS Enterprise in its travels.
The first episode will feature a gimmick return trip to 21st Century earth, where the primitive inhabitants have become enslaved by a giant globe spanning computer network, having lost the ability to obtain food, pair-bond, procreate, or satisfy their need for moderately funny satire without computers. After destroying the nexus of the computer network known only as the enigmatic “Cisco”¯, the crew is surprised to find that rather than being grateful, the inhabitants are enraged and their economy has fallen into ruin. Smug with their success, the crew beams back into orbit, while the primitive inhabitants vow never to let Rick Berman or Brandon Brega produce a series again.
Subject:real reasons
come on you guys, wake up, its not because people are tired of watching its for the sake of human dignity. for 40 years people from the future have been living in a fishbowl for us couch potatoes to gawk at their heroics their courage their humanity their vision. we have already seen all the exciting and noble stuff and if we were to bring back any more video sticks from the future then we would start invading peoples personal lives because thats all thats left after raping the future of its best moments. star trek would turn into a soap opera of peoples loves and personal problems and maybe even sex lives which they just dont want to have dangled in front of us crass 20th century and now 21st century couch potatoes because we couldnt begin to comprehend how profound and fulfilling their sex lives are because we are still stuck in the past where it was all taboo or funny instead of rich and artistic and inspiring so call me if you agree, hillary
