5 Franchises That Should Get The SHIELD Treatment

1. Star Trek

Star-Trek-Into-Darkness-5-600x300 I mean, to me, I find it kind of astounding that this isn't a thing yet. Star Trek went on a near continuous run of TV shows from 1987 with Next Generation to 2005 with Enterprise. So I am amazed that Paramount haven't jumped to try and make a show in the midst of the explosion of the franchise in 2009. Now with Star Trek Into Darkness making crazy numbers and SHIELD about to hit, I would be surprised if Paramount didn't at least look into the possibility of creating a new show. Making a show in the Nu-Trek continuity could be a lot of fun. One of the joys of Abram's Star Trek world is seeing re-imagined characters from the old show and seeing how the altered timeline has changed their importance and stance. Having a show based on another Starship that explores the lesser known villains and bad guys from the past, while also forging their own story, could be a lot of fun. This seems ripe for the picking and I would be surprised if we didn't start seeing talks of a new Trek show before too long.
