All hail the Gods of Trek, the Nebulas, and black holes, firece enemies, and strong alliances. In Trek we trust!

Hail! Hail to Captain Kirk, the first to attempt to kiss every alien female he came into contact with!

Hail! Hail! to Picard with his deep wisdom and his allowing commander Riker to be the Hugh Hefner of the Galaxy.

May they grant Kennith a true Victory! as well as make Paramount bow down to us fans! ** LMAO**

The best news is that Kim from casting referred to my proposal as excellent. It is encouragement like that from a non Star Trek fan that means the broad appeal I needed to win. This will be a popular vote of the general public. Thanks for your support.

Will we as the general public be able to see this (Voting process) or just the winning show?

I heard it's voting via tv and telephone (but I just checked a website of theirs for about half a minute). So aside from phone costs to call overseas that shouldn't be a problem for us to vote for kenneth there for example (if he's good :twisted: :D).

btw. matress, take your time, you'll need it with the games :mrgreen:

My understanding is that it will be a "reality" TV show and the public votes. I would hope that it is world wide and also that my dear Borg kinsmen in the collective will be able to subspace in votes as well. As it is called Dream On, America it does not sound like it is getting outside of North America. Lets hope you can internet vote and we can post times. We can not count on the Klingon or Romulan voting block anyway. :cry:

You should vote for the best idea. Just understand up front that my idea is the best. If I do not get onto the show, because they realize my idea is so good it is not fare to the other contestants, you will be the first to hear my top secret plan. I am just joking about the vibrato. Let's not take anything as garantied. Sorry about the wait. :wink:

Can you post that link on the show? I have not found a page for it yet.

i googled it a while ago (I admit it was a bit tricky to find, took several different keyword settings). Don't know if I'm lucky again, maybe try also. It is a small site with not much on it yet, so you'll probably get the link anyway later on if your idea comes thru the pre-contest.

Kennith

Even though you are Borg (and will end up working on one of our more dangerious asteriod mines) You can count on this Romulan to vote for you as well as my wife. Plus I plan to recruit as many people as possable to vote for you and your theme!

Although I can not speak for the Tal..

Thanks for your show of support. It looks like the show may have had a name change. It was or now is THE GREAT AMERICAN DREAM VOTE. The proposal you have all help to sharpen must still pass muster with the producers. It does sound like they are looking for light entertainment. My proposal may be on the too serious side for them. I will be on the road and offline for a few day. I will monitor my voice mail for any calls during this time.

I did find something about show here.

now who had thought had when speaking about american standard tv hehe :D

keep ye head up, if the idea's good they may come up on you anyway ;)

it matches with the site I found, I remember there was something written about "If you ever dreamed of.. being a 22 years old with no hair and suddenly have hair again (lol that's kinda stupid one but that's why it stuck in my head).

so a st highly-dense family plot may not be the thing they intended but well, they aren't the only ones in the world doing shows aren't they? ;)

It was 2 real 4 reality TV.

I have learned more about the nature of this competition. It appears my proposal will be disqualified for its intense emotional appeal. My proposal centered on a Star Trek mini episode using actors from the Make a Wish Foundation of America. This organization is in the business of granting wishes for children with cancer and other potentially lethal conditions. They cover up to 17 years of age and thereby encompassing the major demographics for the Star Trek series. Many of these kids have no future and those that do may look forward to treatment related malignancies several years after remission. Contacting the national office of this organization in Phoenix, Arizona I learned that they often have requests related to TV and movie themes like this. I was told that the Make a Wish Foundation would be very willing to draw nationally to cast such a project.

My proposal to ABC was to produce a Star Trek episode staring these young actors. The script would have drawn on your suggestions including a birth of the federation theme. The sets for the production would have used the facilities of Star Trek the Experience at the Hilton hotel in Los Vegas Nevada - if set construction was prohibitively expensive. I would love to go to the Paramount digital graphics studios to take part in developing the ship and special effect scenes.

ABC does not, as I have now learned, want the competition for this dream fulfillment to be a contest of who has the largest tumor - to paraphrase their comments. As worthy as this proposal may seam it appears too real for reality TV. You could imagine that if they let in proposals like this contestants proposing this would win every week. It would be best to not get too upset as it is apparent they are looking for light entertainment. For my part I did not want to become a clown in the media circus just to have fifteen minutes of fame. Many proposals less than this could quickly be turned into a farce by ABC. Remember that chubby kid swinging a light saber on Youtube? It will be interesting to see what they do air for this episode of the ABC production and what wins the competition.

It is happy hour somewhere on the planet. Now I can get back to work on models for the game.

Thanks for your support. It would be a lie to say my hopes were not up given what seamed a strong proposal. Even in the face of the sour grapes issue you are likely right. :?

I congradulate you on your proposal. A nobel cause to be sure.

I see where ABC is coming from. But being they are a braodcasing station, We all know about how closed minded those people can be. Well that is on important things. Other items like selling sex. They have no problem with.

Perhaps you have a back up maybe for the next time, if there is a next time.


Good job though..
