I don't think we'll see a ds9 movie ever. No demand for it. Too many years have gone by.

All right guys- I'll get the brush, you bring the flaming torches. We can't let him get away with telling the truth like that.....

Dr. Soran - ST Generations

"They say time is the fire in which we burn. Right now, Captain, my time is running out. We leave so many things unfinished in our lives."

Alas, I think somethings about DS9 will sadly be left unfinished, except maybe for ST novels...

 

[long_time_DNC]

I think you're right...they'll get finished in ST novels, but not on the big screen. Too much $ at stake there and the studio wants at least some kind of idea they'll make more than they spend...

Its been awhile since I read one, but I was hooked on the Trek novels for awhile...

I have a box full of them from the early to mid-90s. Read them all, but haven't read a new one in probably ten years.

 

[long_time_DNC]

Yep, I've read a great many of them as well. I've been in the process of writing a Trek novel for several years now and submitted a script to TNG back in the 5th season, which was rejected, unfortunately...

Some good news!

I wish I could get my wife to watch the gates and trek with me.. she did watch TNG when we were engaged and when we first were married, 15 years ago, but she quickly realized she didn't have to anymore

Just like I realized I didn't have to participate in stupid dances at weddings anymore. No more chicken dances for me!

 

[SatelliteGAL]

lol Well, I can honestly say neither of us has done any chicken dances.
We have all the copies of the Star Treks and Star Wars. We have the original Battlestar Gallactica series and now are collecting the Stargates and are having marathon watching sessions most weekends. The SciFi genre is one area we all agree on in the household.

Which episode was that? Just curious.

Your post about submitting a script to ST:TNG.... Did you actually get a written rejection when you submitted it, or just a thanks for sending this along? I know they used to get hundreds, if not thousands of unsolicited scripts. I wonder if they ever seriously looked at them, or just ignored them to protect their own self-interest in writing the shows themselves...

I cant remember the name of it but they were torturing Teal'c for most of it. It was just too much for my taste.

I received a written rejection letter along with my script when they returned it. They did look at it, though, as there are a few hand-written notes on various pages throughout. Interestingly, some of the basic ideas in my story turned up in a few other episodes in seasons 6 and 7. So, they may have had similiar ideas already planned, which contributed to the rejection of my script, or they just liked some of what was in mine and didn't want to buy it. I registered it with the WGA and so they had a copy on-file, so P*mount couldn't just rip it off entirely.

Oh yeah, and the Jaffa that betrayed him then later helped him escape. No, not that tasty of an episode, I agree.

 

[dfergie]

The Jaffa had the trident looking things right?

That's a neat story. And even though it did not get accepted, at least you had evidence that they actually looked at it.
