My elevator pitch for a Star Trek series run by Quentin Tarantino, subtitled The Western Edge, would be “The Hateful Eight meets Firefly” – the adventures of a planet-hopping, ragtag gang of mismatched intergalactic criminals on a stolen Enterprise model, shot in the style of a 1960s-era western TV series.
This way, if he still has the itch for another gun-totin’ outlaw story but is conflicted by the urge to do something drastically different, he can have the best of both worlds while, at the same time, finally bringing Trekkies to a place that no Star Trek show has gone before.
