What if Star Trek were "re-imagined" like BSG?

[baldguy]

Who would you like to see play Kirk, Spock & McCoy?

[Gothic Sponge]

1. I don't even want to think about this happening, but it might one day....

If it did, I hope the actors would all be unknowns.

[CBGLuthier]

2. OK

Gary Cole as Kirk


Rip Torn as McCoy

For the life of me, I can not think of a good Spock. Nimoy just owns it too well.

[Book Lover]

3. If ST:TOS were reimagined

I would spit in the face of the one responsible.

[Lone_Wolf_Moderate]

12. Ditto.

[DanCa]

4. Lets get Carson Kreesly as Kirk

For spock I would like to get Lucy Lui
and for for Mccoy I think the guy that played harry in third rock from the sun as a bumbling incompetent doctor. Okay the meds are kicking in now.

[El Fuego]

5. Keanu Reeves as Spock!

:loveya:


Brendan Fraser as Kirk.

Bill Maher as Dr. McCoy

[lakemonster11]

17. Yuck!

:puke:

I love Leonard Nimoy!

[baldguy]

6. Kick

Just because

[Deja Q]

7. I wouldn't watch a single episode. Besides,

we've already seen that treatment: It's called "Star Trek Voyager", if not "Star Trek Enterprise".

Ronald D Moore is a biggie in BSG-remake as well. He was big during the bermantrek era as well.

It's the same slop, over and over again.

[Clintmax]

8. Star Trek Enterprise sucks...

But I LOVED Voyager! Best of all of them though was The Next Generation. You just can't fuck with Captain Picard!

[TheMightyFavog]

11. Voyager sucked.

IMHO it was a ripoff of Red Dwarf

[Zomby Woof]

9. already was

STG: TNG ;-)

[Lone_Wolf_Moderate]

10. How do you mean? Do you mean a BSG-style Star Trek, or

a modernized Star Trek? I'm not sure about the second (I'll think on it), but the first choice seems tough (unless you count DS9).

[henslee]

13. Scotty - Tom Sizemore.

[philosophie_en_rose]

14. They're not dead yet.

Why not stuff William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and the other living ST crewmembers into their uniforms?

Star Trek: The Geriatric Generation.

[SaveElmer]

15. Yeah..."Star Trek: The Search for Regularity"

I heard that someplace!

[chknltl]

26. Prunes may be of some service there nt

[ContraBass Black]

16. DeForest Kelley is.

Remember his appearance on the first episode of TNG?

[lakemonster11]

18. So is James Doohan

He just died in the last month or so.

[philosophie_en_rose]

20. C.G.I. !!!

Why not make it even more craptacular? We could have a CGI McCoy and a spliced-from-old-footage Scottie.

:)

[ContraBass Black]

22. You ought to be banned for that suggestion.

Blasphemy. :mad:

[philosophie_en_rose]

29. Totally joking, by the way...

But a better animated, CGI Trek might actually be a good thing.

[Rabrrrrrr]

19. Let's see, Kirsten Dunst as Kirk, naked

Natalie Portman as McCoy, naked

Kate Winslet as Spock, naked

Wilfred Brimley as Scotty, not naked (gotta have one dirty old man in the show who keeps ALL his girls in line, Enterprise and crew, and Wilfred needs the work, BUT I don't wanna see him naked)

Reese Witherspoon as Sulu, naked

Midori as Chekov, naked

Sandra Bullock as Uhura, naked

Summer Glau as Yeoman Rand, naked

Jewel Staite as Lt. Kevin Riley, naked

Raquel Welch as T'Pau, naked

Oh, and Robin Curtis continuing as Saavik, but naked

[billyskank]

25. Weren't T'Pau an eighties pop group?

Don't you mean T'Pol? :crazy:

[Rabrrrrrr]

28. T'Pol was the woman Spock was gonna marry.

T'Pau was the matriarch (or whatever she's called) of Vulcan.

I have no idea if T'Pau were an 80s pop group.

[billyskank]

30. Not saying you're wrong

but T'Pol was also the name of the Vulcan in Enterprise.

And T'Pau were certainly an 80s pop group. :)

[lakemonster11]

31. Spock was going to marry T'Pring.

T'Pol is the Vulcan on Enterprise. T'Pau was the matriarch (or whatever) of Vulcan, like you said.

[chknltl]

27. T'Pol made 7of 9....

...more like 6 out of 10 imho.

[edbermac]

21. I think my "re-imagination" is a lot better than yours.

Check it out...

[Giant Robot]

23. All right I'll be the one to say it

if done properly, a re-imagining of ST:TOS, a la BSG, may actually be pretty good. Certainly the ST franchise has been really stale as of late, and maybe this would do something for it. And quite frankly, they have done an excellent job with BSG, taking it light years beyond the crappy original series. Although I do miss the flying bikes a little....or not.

My pics for some crew:

Kirk....Ving Rhames He has that captain's swagger about him in my mind.

Spock...Lucy Liu Well, ok, just because I think she is sexy as hell. And she has shown the ability to give that same Spock deadpan delivery.

McCoy...Neal Patrick Harris Yes Doogie Howser. Flame me all you want, but I think it would work, if on a comic level. I just imagine him doing the "Dammit Jim..." line in his whiny style, and that works for me. I'm nuts.

Scotty...Hugh Laurie from Fox's House He's English, so to us Ugly Americans, he can fake a Scottish dialect. And I think he could go from crazy response to intense situation, to an even intellectual response in seconds that would fit well on the Enterprise.

Sulu...B.D. Wong I think that's his name. He pops up as the psychologist in one of the many Law and Orders out there. I know this one is predictable, but I think he would be a good addition to the cast.

Uhura...Diane Lane Brings that same quality of mature sexiness to the role, and not a bad actress to boot.

Checkov...no clue. I just have no idea who could do justice to "nuclear wessels."

Red Shirts...various guest stars. Weekly rotation of guest stars who die off quickly. OK, this one is a joke, but I stand by most of what I picked.

[Borgnine]

24. Simple.

Kirk - Bob Saget
Spock - John Stamos
McCoy - Dave Coulier

[Bassic]

32. Hrm. I don't think it would be possible right now

Not until all star trek series have been completely off the air for like 15 years. So that's a long way off.
