Star Trek Series We Want To See On The Small Screen – Looper

The Eugenics War was initially discussed in "Star Trek: The Original Series," during the now-iconic episode, "Space Seed." The episode had the Enterprise crew stumble across the SS Botany Bay, which was adrift in space. They find that, after nearly 200 years, members of the crew are still alive in suspended animation. The Enterprise crew awakens the leader and brings him on board their ship, where he discloses that he is Khan Noonien Singh. The crew soon discovers that Khan and his people were genetically engineered to be perfect examples of the human species. In the 1990s, however, the augmented humans turned against the non-augmented humans, believing themselves to be superior, and the Eugenics War broke out.

While augmented humans have been discussed briefly in other Trek shows, such as by Dr. Bashir (Alexander Siddig) in "Deep Space 9" and the incredibly fun arc in "Enterprise" that brought back the character Doctor Soong (Brett Spiner) from "The Next Generation," this bloody war in Federation history has never truly been explored. We propose an entire series dedicated to this story. Audiences could even have Spiner reprise his role of Doctor Soong, as he was instrumental in creating the augments. The show could showcase Khan's beginnings and how he and his crew were eventually lost in space for years on the Botany Bay.
