@michaelsussman.bsky.social at Paramount, could this be a meeting for his #StarTrekUnited pitch ? 👀

Did Roddenberry invent fanfic of his own franchise?

In the #StarTrek: The Motion Picture novel preface, Gene reframes Trek as a dramatization of real history. @michaelsussman.bsky.social joins The Trek Files to unpack meta moment.

“‘Star Trek: Picard’ gave characters from the franchise's past another adventure and enjoyed great success, so now might be a good time to do the same for the ‘Enterprise’ crew.”

If there's an upside to the Skydance/Paramount merger, it's the possibility that Mike Sussman's pitch for #StarTrekUnited, about Jonathan Archer's presidency, might get made. Here's me and Mary talking with Mike about the tone of this phenomenal idea for a Trek series. @michaelsussman.bsky.social

Earlier today, I rewatched #StarTrekENT's "Demons" and "Terra Prime" (you'll find out later why 😅) and I was very moved by Archer's speech towards the end of the episode. I'd love to see how his story continues in #StarTrekUnited and I'm keeping my fingers crossed! 🖖 🤞

#StarTrekUnited “has been another rallying point for Trek fans in 2025… it has also shown the love for ‘Enterprise,’ a series that truly found its audience years after its conclusion.”

“From what Sussman has revealed so far, the series would see the return of fan-favorite Sarek, who at this point in the timeline would be an 19-year-old consular aide who is only just getting his first taste of what working with humankind and the Federation is like.”

- John Dodge, CBR.com
