And here we start to see the potential of “deep fake” technology to try to correct the massive errors of Kurtzmann era Trek, with Shatner, Nimoy, Kelley and Montalban stuck back into their roles in the NuTrek movies. The Nimoy-replacements seem to be the most successful.
The potential here is not in reworking the NuTrek movies and STD to replace the new actors with the old. No, the potential here is to make brand new *real* Star Trek set anywhere from TOS to the movie era and beyond, using canonical designs of technology and aliens and whatnot… and use Deep Fake tech to replace modern actors who place legacy characters. The possibility is close to existing to create Year Four episodes of TOS. *Should* they do so? Well… maybe. If the rights can be correctly incorporated to do proper Trek – as Deep Space Nine and Enterprise both showed would look perfectly fantastic despite being more than fifty years out of date – and if the writers and producers can be somehow persuaded to do proper Trek, rather than the hideous WokeTrek nonsense that’s been foisted upon us, then… yes. I could get behind a Year Four series.
