 Bryan Fuller, who wrote for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager, is calling for a return of Star Trek to the small screen, just as it prepares for a nostalgic return to the silver screen and just three and a half years after Star Trek: Enterprise was cancelled. “I would love to do another Star Trek series,” Fuller said, “One where you could go back to the spirit and color of the original Star Trek, because somehow, it got colder over the years. I love Next Generation, but it’s a little cooler and calmer than the ones from the ‘60s, which were so dynamic and passionate.”
Fuller contrasted Deep Space Nine and Enterprise, saying that DS9 “was the best of the modern ones because it was so emotionally complicated. Enterprise was the most sterile of them all, when it should have been the most fun.” The writer said that he would want to break the mold of the Star Trek we’ve known for so long (nearly half of the 700 hours of Star Trek were about a ship named Enterprise) and go for a ship and crew in the TOS time and universe, but not Kirk and Spock and not the Enterprise.
As Fuller wrote for the two series that were not about ships named Enterprise, it comes as no surprise that he’s advocating an expansion of the Star Trek universe. “Star Trek has to recreate itself, “ he said. “Otherwise, all the characters start to feel the same. You always have a captain, a doctor, a security officer, and you have the same arguments based on those perspectives. It starts to feel too familiar. So all those paradigms where it takes place on a starship have to be shaken up.”
