alright: for all non-star trek fans, the next blog entry will look like gobbledegook. for all star trek fans, the next blog entry will look like gobbledegook i just got a great idea last night, and i gotta get it all written down.

Well, i just bought the song colony 5 by Colony 5. it's very star-trekky. in fact, just about all i could think of while listening to it was star trek. it also contained the lines "we seek colony 5". now, the name of the band came from the ST:TOS episode "Charlie X". it was the location they where bringing the mega-powerful child...then, an idea hit me..."what, if to avoid going there, charlie caused the colony to be destroyed?" then, another idea hit me. "what if, when everything he did got fixed, what if they messed up, and Colony 5 was moved out into space?" i was getting really excited at this point. "What if, when the voyager was returning, they had on long-range sensors, and, upon envestigation of the sensor logs, they found the location of Colony 5?" then, i thought "what if Starfleet decides to send a rescue mission to Colony 5?"

Then, i realised something. This would make an awesome new series of Star Trek.

Then, i realised that probably won't happen, since the release of the 2009 movie.

then, i realised this was too good of an idea to go to waste.

then, i realised i would have to take it into my own hands.

It wouldn't be a TV show, more like written short stories (more long stories, about the length of a DS9 script). release about 24 stories a year, like in normal seasons of star trek, and have a run of 7 years.

and now, things i've figured out i should have for sure:

1:set on a Vesta class ship

2:Seasons 1-3 would be set on the journey there, making first contact with multiple planets. 4 would be on Colony 5. 5-7 would be returning home, with some of the colonists, and seeing what happened with some of the planets they visited.

3:the first officer would be of a species with a lifespan of 1000s of years, and, although he'd be 400, he'd look like a child, a fact that torments him do to some people's biases. he would have "taken his Kobiashi Maru test with Spock at ops"

4: there would be an Ensign B4 as a main character

5:the captain would be human

6:Ambassader Picard would give them the mission briefing

7:possible visits of Q throughout the series

8:it'd stay 100% consistant with TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT, and all the movie's canon.

9:it'd occur at some point after when spock went into the mirror universe.

10:the individual stories would have the same quality of any star trek episode.

11:i'd write the first episode, and last episode.

now, i'm not the best writer in the world. so, perhaps, one of the biggest forums for bionicle in the world would hold this in the COT. and, we'd have Star Trek fans all over BZP subbmitting ideas for stories, and if accepted, they'd write the episode. it'd then be edited a little bit for accuracy, but still...

but, i'd probably head this. and, in my opinion, the best way for me to be 100% accurate and deserve that role, would be for me to watch every star trek episode there is, twice. at the moment, i've seen TAS and TOS twice. but, beyond that, i'm only halfway through TNG. i've never seen a DS9, VOY, or ENT episode. so, i probably won't be qualified until maybe a few years from now. and, i think i need to review Charlie X to be sure on my facts.

but, trekkies who read this blog, keep this idea in the back of your head. if we're good enough, we might be able to convince the writers of Star Trek to do something with this.
