Star Trek movie guy thinks there'll be Star Trek cartoon soon

the same room or anything:

I don't know how eager I am for a new Trek show, although it
could be interesting. I have problems with the 2009 movie, but its
general spirit of acting like the people making it *cared* whether
anything in the movie happened would be a good starting point for any
new Trek projects.

Does Paramount HAVE animation facilities? They distribute Dreamworks,
don't they?

Not quite parsing your analysis of The Powers That currently Be.

It does strike me that the 2009 movie, with its need to set up its
current continuity and put every crewmember into place may possibly be
looked upon a the clunky first effort in this series. If the next
movie takes the relationships as established and gets on with telling
a Star Trek story, we could have a real winner. (Come to think of it,
the first movie of each crew has been rather clunky, and the second
the more popular, without getting into that whole even-numbered thing.
As the 2009 movie is already the most successful Trek film...)

I enjoyed the Star Wars movies, but thought that the Clone Wars
animated series was a waste of time. Same thing for Tron and the
animated series spin-off.

Sounds like the same thing here, a possible Star Trek series being
viewed as a massive animated advertisement for the next movie, not as
anything worth watching in and of itself.

What I'd rather see is for the Hollywood blockbuster machine to stop
calling the shots on Star Trek, leaving the door open for a really
cool, well produced and well thought-out live action series. One of
the problems with Star Trek as a series of movies is that, given the
time between releases, there won't ever be any more than 3 or 4 in the
run (Classic Trek had 5 or 6 films total, TNG had only 3) and all of
the plots will be shallow, simple, self contradictory, and involve
having to track down and shoot-up the bad guy. Star Trek is supposed
to be about *moral dilemmas* and give the viewer *something to think
about*.

If a Trek TV series were unencumbered by the movie-tie-in law of
nothing ever being allowed to happen, and if there was actually a *new
episode every week*, that would be Trek worth watching.

For starters. IMNSHO, sfter seeing Star Trek:Aurora over again for
the umpteenth time:

( improved from the quicktime to a nice .mp4 rendering )

since they already have the soundtracks, scrape the Filmation ink
off the celluloid and redo TAS with modern CG with a little more bent
to the quality of CBS Digital's effort on TOS remastered.

Look at the quality of an amature effort, puts some pros to shame.
I think this is far better than a lot of 'live action' fan films
I've seen.

Yikes!, in my sleepiness, forgot to trim off the excess
