That's Gabriel Köerner's concept for a reboot Enterprise, which 90% of websites will use thinking its the JJprise.

In other news:

http://trekmovie.com/2015/06/18/paramount-acquires-startrekbeyond-com-invites-star-trek-beyond-fan-creator-to-pitch-tv-series/

I don't believe this for a second. Guy happens to own domain Paramount wants, so Paramount (who doesn't have the rights to Star Trek on television) wants to hear his pitch. Either this isn't true at all and the guy is capitalizing on the fact that we all know the name of his concept he bought a domain for but never actually made anything, or he had the opportunity to make thousands of dollars for a domain Paramount needs and he threw it away to pitch to people who have no power to do anything with said pitch.

Besides, if this guy gets a pitch based on owning a domain name, what about the people who have a history with Star Trek (Robert Meyer Burnett, Michael Dorn, etc.) who have pitches who are being ignored by the studio?

Even if he really did get a chance to pitch anything - and that's a big 'if' - publicly talking about it basically ensures that pitch won't go anywhere. Pretty dumb thing to do.

I'll believe it when I see official confirmation.

edit: here's the first decent piece I've seen on that bit of 'news':

'Star Trek: Voyager' actress accused of indecent exposure, Tennessee TV station reports

A former actress in the "Star Trek" franchise was arrested this month in Tennessee, accused of indecent exposure in the presence of a neighbor's minor children, Knoxville TV station WATE reports.

The Roane County Sheriff's Office website confirmed that Jennifer Lien, who played the alien medical assistant Kes for the first three seasons of "Star Trek: Voyager," was booked with indecent exposure on Sept. 3. The bond for Lien, who lives in Harriman, Tenn., was set at $2,500, the records show.

According to the report, Lien left her front door open and was naked under a blanket on her couch when sheriff's deputies arrived with a warrant for her arrest, alleging an earlier incident of indecent exposure to a neighbor's children outside her home. The report said Lien refused to get dressed or walk to the patrol car, and had to be carried by deputies.

That said, I feel sorry for her husband(if they're still married) and kid that they have to deal with her going crazy like this.

I'm sure that sheriff's deputies would have rather it had been her replacement on "Voyager".

Based on causal conversation elsewhere, some people thought it was Jeri Ryan. Not dyed in the wool Trek fans though.

I don't know how anyone could confuse this with Jeri Ryan.

I don't think they had seen the photo. It was the mention of a female Voyager cast member, and they knew it wasn't Kate Mulgrew.

Casual viewers might not even remember Kes anymore than they do Dr. Pulaski these days.

She kind of looks like a female Changeling from DS9

I found something interesting on the Star Trek Renegades website ( http://startrekrenegades.com/home/be-a-renegade-support-the-ongoing-internet-tv-series/ )

For reasons we are not able to disclose, CBS cannot move forward with Star Trek Renegades at this time – or any Star Trek series for that matter.

I always thought CBS owns the rights to Star Trek TV shows and Paramount owns the rights to Star Trek movies. Any ideas what can be the reason why CBS can't do any Star Trek series?

It can mean anything. From CBS just not wanting to do any Star Trek series but they're cool with them making the fan series so they're putting it in the nicest way possible. To there is some legitimate contract reasons for why they can't make a Star Trek series at this time. Possibly that it stipulates that while there's a running movie canon they're forbidden from making a TV series and vice versa. As a possible way of avoiding either production from trying to "take command" over the other and make story demands to keep either within it's own canon. If that's the case then obviously making that public would be unwise as people would be like "I don't care about the movies just make a series" or "OMG this series sucks! Why don't you cancel it to make more movies!?"

Coming from the Trek side, people say it's because Bad Robot is trying to take over, but that's the really negative side. Personally, I think it's them politely saying their fan film is garbage and they'd rather not do Trek at all. ;-)

Nah, he just looks confused. He seems to always look like that in photos these days. Strangely, not in interviews.

But can they dance, paint, solve Sherlock Holmes mysteries on the holodeck, or get "fully functional" with Tasha Yar? ;)
