New Star Trek Series Planned

Fans of the Star Trek franchise are up in arms about the cancellation of Star Trek: Enterprise. But not to worry! Several new Star Trek series are already planned to carry on the Trekkie torch!

Star Trek: Watchtower

The Hook: Though most religions no longer exist in the Trek universe, this new series follows the evangelical adventures of three Jehovah’s Witnesses as they bring the "Watchtower" to starships and colonies across the Federation.

Pilot Cameo: Marina Sirtis reprises her role as Counsellor Troi. In one of the pilot’s most exciting scenes, the empathic Troi senses the approach of our heroes in the turbolift and quickly retreats to her quarters, pretending not to be home as they knock.


Star Trek: Hobos

The Hook: Opting to see the Trek universe from a different perspective, Star Trek: Hobos follows two unshaven vagrant “tramps” as they hitch rides aboard freighters and starships just hoping to “catch a break” elsewhere in the galaxy.

Pilot Cameo: Brent Spiner, reprises his role as Commander Data. In one scene, Data watches curiously as one of our hobos pulls a leather shoe from the food replicator and proceeds to eat it for dinner.


Star Trek: Morning Zoo

The Hook: In an obvious attempt to bring levity to the franchise, a rip in time brings Rob and Tom, two morning DJ’s from the 20th century to the Federation starship Intrepid. When Rob and Tom’s zany drive-time antics bring a smile to the face of a belligerent Cardassian General, a galactic war is averted and the ships captain decides to make the DJ’s permanent members of the crew.

Pilot cameo: Levar Burton reprises his role as Commander Geordi LaForge. Geordi is the 94.5th caller on the comm line, gives the “phrase that pays” and wins $20 gift certificate to Appleby’s restaurants.


Star Trek: Wisconsin Dairy Farmers

The Hook: ST:WDF is an ambitious attempt to return the franchise to an Earth setting. Fed up with food replicators that just can’t get the subtlety of their best cheddar, five unconventional 25th century dairy farmers pull two cows out of a zoo and begin making cheese from scratch!

Pilot cameo: Patrick Stewart, as Captain Jean Luc Picard, cameos in the pilot by beaming down from the Enterprise to compliment our heroes on their exceptional gouda!


Star Trek: CSI

The Hook: We follow this special Federation task force as they investigate Starfleet’s most grisly death scenes. How did a Klingon warrior manage to invert the subspace polarity of the deuterium conduit and turn his captain into tiny crystals?

Pilot Cameo: Reprising his role as Captain Riker, Jonathon Frakes guest stars (briefly) as a starship captain whose head is “beamed away” by a psychotic transporter operator. This is science fiction that will have you holding back vomit!
