So the Asian captain will get a Chinese-name ship because we wouldn't want to confuse the audience.

Better retcon it so Captain Sulu gets command of the USS Kamikaze or something instead of the Excelsior.

Starfleet needs to impliment and anti-trigger policy that prohibits Japanese officers from serving on Akira class ships, Greeks from commanding the Prometheus, or Englishmen(French) from captaining the Enterprise.

7 years of constant, well paid work followed by a lifetime of less well paid convention work is very much the exception for an actor.

Also starting with TNG some of them started getting into directing. Last I heard Frakes was still doing TV directing.

Being typecast isn't exclusive to Star Trek. How many people from long-running shows manage to get even better work? Who knows what Dharma is doing, or Niles, or Urkel, or 90% of the Full House cast? You take that chance in any work, but at least Star Trek keeps you in convention work forever.

Lots of Trek actors have substantial theatre careers, which definitey helps pay the bills between the odd cameos and convention appearances.

On another note, I'm binging through all of Star Trek since it came on Netflix. I haven't watched DS9 or Voyager since they ended.

Kes and Neelix's relationship is so much worse than I remember when I was a teenager. Like, one of the worst, creepiest relationships on TV, let alone Trek.

David Hyde Pierce probably made enough money from Frasier that he doesn't have to worry but he has done some neat stuff since. The Perfect Host is supposed to be good.

For a while Kelsey Grammer made headlines for being the highest-paid actor on television (for the last three years of the show, he was making $1.6 million an episode), but Pierce and John Mahoney were treated pretty well, too, making about $725,000 per episode from seasons 5 - 11.

Sadly, it wasn't until Season 9 that Jane Leeves got a raise from about $40,000 per episode to about $290,000.

Everything about Kes and Neelix was, at best. poorly thought out. Their relationship doubly so.

Basically have like 12 episode season will a over reaching plot and then boom just do something else

I would love to see that personally. If they all took place in the same era it would also be "relatively" less expensive since the props/costumes would be reusable. Do 3 9-episode series a season, each one on a different ship/station. Hell, you could finally do the "set a show on a Klingon ship" thing without having to commit to an entire broadcast season.

Fuller Clarifies Star Trek 2017 Not Anthology Series, Reveals More Details .

bryan-fuller3

| June 23, 2016 | By: John Duchak 88 comments so far

Star Trek 2017 showrunner Bryan Fuller revealed more details about the highly-anticipated new series in an interview with Moviefone.

Contrary to rumors that the new series would be an anthology show with each season focusing on a different time in Trek lore, Fuller said �I�ve read that this is an anthology show, which is not accurate.� Fuller also shot down the rumor that the series would take place between Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country and Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Addressing the teaser trailer that hinted that the show would feature new crews, which many believed suggested the series would be an anthology show, Fuller said that we will be seeing �lots of crews in the story.� Fuller continued, �One of the things that�s exciting for me is that we are telling a Star Trek story in a modern way. We�re telling a 13-chapter story in this first season. It�s nice to be able to dig deep into things that would have been breezed passed if we were doing episodic and had to contain a story within an episode.�

When questioned whether the new series would revisit any familiar characters, Fuller teased �eventually.� On Nicholas Meyer�s involvement in the series, Fuller said that �[Meyer has brought] a clarity and cleanliness to the storytelling. An ability to ground science fiction in a relatable way, and also making sure that we�re telling character stories.�

Well I do like the serialization, I keep thinking with how cheap FX are they could easily recreate the look of TNG, TOS, and just tell some stories.

Kurn was DS9's Tuvix

# ? Nov 25, 2016 09:01

Duckbox: Sep 7, 2007

Nah, Kurn is more like DS9's Ensign Ro, a likeable recurring character that disappears without a trace for a few seasons only to return just long enough for the main cast to ruin his life and send him off with an ambiguous ending to never be heard from again.

Sort of lovely if you ask me. Poor Kurn went from being the secret son of Mogh with a good life and his own command to Worf's little brother and a seat on the Council only to wind up back where he started pretending to be someone else's fake son. They don't even bother to mention him when Worf regains his honor (again) and gets adopted by Martok. Poor bastard's probably still out there with amnesia living some lovely fake life. At least he's not dead or in prison like Ro almost certainly is.

Also, I think they mentioned he had a family at one point. Wonder what happened to them.
