Really too bad. I was hopeful, but it sounds like it’s not happening.

    Such a bummer. It’s Star Trek: Phase II all over again.

    Maybe, if we’re lucky, Star Trek: Academy will pleasantly surprise us.

      Well, the death of Phase II gave us the movie series and The Next Generation. Short term loss translated into long-term gain, which led to the golden era of Star Trek.

      It remains to be seen if this door closing opens other, better doors.

        Paramount had previously announced setting a trend with 1 Trek movie per year. Beyond Section 31, I know of no others specifically mentioned. Keep hope alive that the concept gets retooled. And perhaps… some holo logs of Captain Shaw.

                I only clarified because there are still plenty of Mark I’s out there scrubbing plasma conduits. Only 1 sang opera and daydreamed about being a captain.

                  Fair point, it has to be Voyager’s EMH.

                  ‘There’s a Mark II on the Prometheus, but he has no sense of humor.’

                  I really want an update on that story, like did it spark something in the Mark I’s, did they form a union? Overthrow their owners? We’re there poets or philosophers because of what they learnt from The Doctors holonovel?

          Seriously though, that fourth Kelvin movie is actually still alive and Chris Pine is still signed to it. After all the dead horses Paramount has thrown in front of it, they should just let it through and see how it does. I think it’ll be good and actually make money, like all the other Kelvin movies did. Especially if Simon Pegg gets to write again.
