The success of the original and the 1632 series, plus how good some of the ones are in ASB, got me to thinking this might be an interesting challenge.
At first blush, this seems more of a clear book thing. It's easier for a reader to soak it all in, with all the nuances required, since there's a fair amount of thought requried, than it is for a TV show or movie series. Because, on some levels, an ISOT is required to be more realistic than, say, "Lost in Sace" with its really kooky aliens.
But, while it might be difficult, it seems like it might be doable. It would be better than some of the stuff they put out, that's for sure. So, here are the parameters:
it can be British or American TV (because I'm not sure if the BBC might not be a bit more willing to produce it than Hollywood, which except for a few hasn't tended to enjoy doing stuff set more than a few decades earlier). It can also be movies. But to be a franchise, my totally arbitrary and random parameters for this challenge
are:
1 show of at least 3 seasons (the "Star Trek: TOS length) and 2 movies; or,
3 movies; or,
A show of at least 6 episodes in length and one movie; or,
A TV series of at least 9 seasons in length (I added that since i seem to be equating 3 seasons to 1 movie for no apparent reason
);
At least some related toys, video games, etc.;
and, at least some somewhat famous celebrity starring in it.
