On November 19th, Variety confirmed that Star Trek 4 is back in development, under the helm of writer/director Noah Hawley. However, this is but the most recent of several different iterations of Star Trek 4, a movie which was first announced more than three years ago. Could it actually move forward and happen this time, or are there still hurdles to overcome?

As you are about to find out, there are.

In this video, we will first look back at the earlier iterations of the proposed 4th Kelvin Star Trek movie, and why none of them made it to the big screen. Then we’ll see how Noah Hawley’s Star Trek 4 has to overcome the very same hurdles that sunk those, and how the imminent re-merger between Viacom and CBS plays into all of this.

cause the doctor is the only one to get any real, logical development. neelix got a few random tidbits, seven had stop/start things and a random and pointless relationship, but most of the others were relatively static.

Vaguely being something accurately sums up most of Voyager's characters, which apart from their total lack of character-development is why they are all so fondly remembered. B'ellana is vaguely Klingon, Chakotay is vaguely native American, Tom Paris is vaguely delinquent, Neelix is vaguely annoying, Harry Kim is vaguely boring. If I had to sum up Voyager in a single word, it would be "bland".

Himu · « **Reply #2127 on:** December 11, 2019, 11:05:35 AM »

Tuvok is EXTREMELY Vulcan. Not vague at all. Guy is among the shows best characters and one of my favorite Vulcans.

Occam · « **Reply #2128 on:** December 11, 2019, 01:04:34 PM »

You are right, Tuvok doesn't belong on that list, I'll edit my post.

Tuckers Law · « **Reply #2129 on:** December 11, 2019, 01:50:35 PM »

One thing you can’t deny about Voyager, though, is that it brought out one of the most villainous characters in Trek history.

Gul Dukat looked at Janeway’s actions and was all, “Damn.”

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I legitimately loved Brad Dourifs character, we don’t get to see that aspect of broken humanity often in the Trek universe. Shame it was on Voyager and not DS9, where they probably could’ve made his story flourish even more.

Should’ve commissioned Barclay for some next-level holo-erotica. That holodeck would’ve been greased over in Vulcan nut.

Star Trek Voyager "The 37ers"

- "We built CITIES, striving CITIES !"
- "You must come SEE our CITIES !"
- "We"d like you to be our guest in our CITIES, such wonderful SIGHTS !"

*cross-fade to Janeway in her office*

- "Wow those cities sure were something !"

Such a mind fuck, I kept expecting some reveal that the cities and human descendants were fake (hence the insistence that they were almost too Earth like and too good) but it was really just outrageous cost saving.

I'm a bit annoyed at how many fans seem outraged at this. I'm a hardcore Trek fan and I think it's awsome they used this for a commercial. And a tech company at that, how very fitting. And to all you people saying Star Trek "sold out", get over yourselves. Considering Star Trek was a TV show which sought to get ratings, the whole "selling out" argument makes no sense. It may be hard for some fanboys to believe, but Paramount doesn't receieve funding from the United Federation of Planets to make the series. It's kinda fictional, to say the least.

After a bit of searching, we were able to track down Pat Letsos – a senior marketing director at Boole & Babbage during the time this video was produced – and she took the time to speak with us about how this commercial came to be, how Jonathan Frakes got nabbed for the role, and the big question everybody asks: how much did this thing cost!?

Long-haired vulcan with a samurai sword, Seven o' Ninetails full-on Halo 2 dual wielding PEW PEW, and chosen one girl who is almost certainly half-Borg or something doing Black Widow flips and shit...

No "spaceship hands" yet but a lot of Dominion-level space battle clusterfuckery, that's what I'm reminded of when I hear the name "Picard."

Be careful on becoming too cynical. It makes hearts black.

My hope is that it's done to feel in casual viewers. It has a lot of "please watch the show

" going on. Not only are all sequences action oriented but it ends with Picard chatting with Number One Will Riker. It's a way to present the show as pleasing as possible. At least, that's the hope.

A 2015 binge-watching guide for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine by W.I.R.E.D. recommended skipping this episode.[2]

In 2016, SyFy included this episode in a group of Star Trek franchise episodes they felt were commonly disliked but "deserved a second chance".[3]

In 2017, this episode was rated the 9th worst episode of the Star Trek franchise up to that time, by ScreenRant, which related the episode to the film Tootsie.[4]

WhatCulture ranked this episode the 4th worst episode of the Star Trek franchise.[5]
