    Just saw this, and it seems like a good idea to me. Michael Dorn is pitching his idea for a new Trek movie, looking at direct to dvd, or a tv film or something similar rather than the full theatrical release method. I would love to see this picked up by SyFy, CBS, or whoever, especially if it lead to similar Trek projects in the future.

    Thoughts? Could this be a welcome addition to the Star Trek franchise?

    Great idea I think, after JJ Trek, sure where's the harm in it :)

    Maybe the Defiant will get it's own movie. It would make a change from the battle-cruiser/explorer type ships that make up most of Star Trek screen-time.

    Or maybe, just maybe the Luna-class ships (i.e. U.S.S. Titan) will finally get to the not-so-big-screen. Maybe the movie could cover what Worf decided to do after he finished being an ambassador to the Klingons.

    Either way, they seem like ideal little ships to slip in and out of nasty situations.

    Either I'm ill informed or something doesn't add up here, any film will have to be done with Paramount not CBS, CBS has the tv series rights and not film rights.

    Anyway, I would love to see something new that's far removed from the current film BS.

    Yeah, I'm not sure how that would work. Maybe as a TV film it would count as a television production rather than feature film.

    A 2hr tv special filling in what the next gen boyos were up to during the dominion war would be good.

    Betezed getting invaded is mentioned in ds9, plenty of scope for a troi / riker tension fest rescue there.

    That would be very cool but I'm not sure if it would work with many other characters, the real benefit of having this centred on Worf is the Klingon forehead and his beard/Hair will somewhat hide the effects of the 18 years since the series finished.

    Doubtful there will be many of the original TNG characters if any bar Worf, time is the killer on that. Would have been nice if done around the same time as DS9, both are really good characters.

    Fair point. My thinking was more that I'd like to see a continuation of this Star Trek canon/universe more than the Abram's alternate, although I can see why you might think I meant something else.

    Just no Luxwana Troi. Not unless it starts with her being murdered anyway.

    Could easily be done like a submarine movie but on a Bird of Prey, here's your mission, stealth to destination, let loose the dogs of war, lots of Klingon fun and success.
