Related to a recent thread about love for SNW.

I'm worried that the suits at Paramount are under the misconception that the love for SNW is somehow inextricably tied to TOS.

i really think that's not the case, and has more to do with the fantastic cast, writers, and return to Trek's roots.

i'm really sad to see it ending. there's been talks of following it up with a new TOS reboot, but that's actually NOT what i want. i already have TOS.

what i REALLY want is a Capt. Una spin-off show.

how do people feel about that? has there been any official mention of the concept? are they even aware of that as a possibility that fans might want?

thoughts?

How would a Captain Una spin-off differ from SNW?

does it have to? SNW is ending. we won't have a ship based, traditional Trek show. it would continue on that spirit with Una and any of the new characters from SNW.

I personally think it's best if a new series has some sort of "hook" that makes it unique - more of the same can be fine, but it's better to have something that says, "this is why this ship/station/crew is worth following."

It doesn't have to be different, but if it isn't why would Paramount be interested in making it? TNG and DS9 overlapped and were different, same with DS9 and VOY. But TNG and VOY were also very different. I suppose if someone would come up with a cool idea for a Una spin-off that is not just a direct continuation of SNW there might be a chance. Personally I'd be more interested in something set after TNG/Lower Decks to get away from the TOS era, and also stay away from the DIS 32nd century stuff.

i would certainly love and accept that show, but i'm working off of what we have going already.
