This story must start with a prologue. Back in 1989, brought TV Guru J. Michael Stracinski His idea for "Babylon 5" To present, hoping that the studio will produce and turn it into a full scientific show. He presented Paramount with the Bible series, characters for characters, artwork, and even 22 short stories ideas he wanted to write about the play. The series was set in the mid -23rd century at the space station in a neutral part of the space. Would a lot of aliens passed, and the main characters of the show, part of the peacekeeping military organization, had to solve all natural intrigue to be in that position. Paramount rejected "Babylon 5", but Stracinski ended up selling his Bors Warner field a few years later.

However, in a suspicious piece of timing, he announced that Paramount - just two months after the announcement of "Babylon 5" - that "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" will be produced, a series that was Also Set up on a numbered space station and also found that many foreigners visited the resentment exit, supervised by a military organization similar to the military organization. Strazinski noted (In the post on his web site) that the creators of "Deep Space Nine" Rick Berman and Michael Piller probably did not see his "Babylon 5" materials, but he suspected that some of his ideas, however, had developed for that TV show "Star Trek". Tensions between Stracin and Paramount have remained tangible for years.

This context is important to know when talking about "Star Trek: Raising the Universe", the suggested treatment of "Star Trek" of 14 pages, which has ever calmed down along with Brice Zabel, the creator of the scientific series "Dark Sky". In 2004, when "Star Trek: Enterprise" was in the air, and the 2009 Star Trek reboot was just a shine in the eye of Ababrams, Stracinski and Zabel hammered their ideas.

Strangely, the eventual reboot in 2009 also resembled the idea of ​​Stracinski. Zabel talked about the aforementioned restart in "Fifty -year -old mission: The next 25 years: From the next generation to Jey Abrams", " Edited by Mark A. Altman and Edward Gross.

"Star Trek: Raising the Universe" was actually the result of Stracini and Zabel, trying to get away from a storm of brains for a joint TV series that they did called "cult". The couple seems to have been discussing the Star Trek franchise and where it was in 2004. The "Star Trek" property, we need to recall, was in a pretty sad state of time. I just experienced Huge bomb with "Star Trek: Nemesis" And he was supposed to run the watch on Star Trek: Enterprise, the only series "Star Trek" on the air. It seemed that the franchise was made, and Zabel and Stracinski knew it. So they realized that the only way forward for the property was a restart. Famous characters can be retained, but the story had to start over. As Zabel recalls:

"We started talking about the state of the Trek universe. .

But Zabel and Stracinski were something. They knew that the adventures of a young captain Kirk, a young Spack and a young Dr. McCoy would be the only way to grab the audience again. Another original series with all the new characters will only attract the attention of the already dropped audience on Treki. The main course was to be reintroduced to the famous.

What, of course, is what Abrams did.

Zabel continued his ideas, noting that the new movie "Star Trek" would have to be a restart - that is, a special entity of the continuity that came before it. As he said:

"We wanted to do what they will do in the world and film 'trek' Continuity in order to Free Ourselves Creatively so we couled embrace the guy. Bad, and try some new things. Seen Them Before.

It should be noted that Zabel and Stracinski have never written a scenario, nor have they promoted the project out of their 14 -page treatment. However, they thought it was good enough to prepare for "Paramount". Unfortunately, they were turned to the door because Abrams beat them to the blow. Abrams seems to have already developed his reboot at Star Trek when Stazinski and Zabel worked on theirs. The fact that both were for the young Kirk and the early days of his relationship with Spack and McCoy seemed to be a complete coincidence.

So, although it may sound like this is another case of Paramount potential lifting of some Michael Michael Straczynski's ideas for a new Star Trek project, it seems unlikely. Thanks to the "Deep Space Nine" debacle, however, some Babylon 5 fans can still be suspicious.

Recently, "Star Trek" raises the idea of ​​"young Kirk" again Thanks to his involvement on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, a series set up just a few years before the original Star Trek TV. Paul Wesley plays the new young KirkWhile Ethan Peck plays the new young Spack.
