Comment on Which faction you expect to be antagonist in some next Star Trek story?

I just want something new and original. No more nostalgia bait, no more member berries. Can you imagine if TNG never introduced the Borg and just stuck with Romulans? Even when they didn’t nail it right away with the Ferengi, the franchise stuck with it and ended up giving us a pretty interesting culture with some of the best characters and stories in DS9.

No one wants to take risks anymore, makes me sad.

You should check out SFA!

  I second this. SFA has a whole new villain faction and tackles star trek and the federation from an entirely new angle.

  I’m still planning on getting around to this, seen some clips of Paul Giamatti and he looks great as usual.

The Gorn in Strange New Worlds are very far from the Gorn in TOS. The animalistic violence and body horror make for a really interesting enemy and there is a great deal of psychology to the conflict too. People are scarred by past experiences… they live through some really horrific terror. This is a long way from fisticuffs with a dude in a rubber mask.

I’m not sure if you consider them just recycled nostalgia bait. But I’d say if something gets sufficiently re-imagined it is still “something new” even if one can argue it isn’t “original.”
