AI Thread Summary
The concept involves a new Trek crew traveling through a wormhole to an alternate timeline where they are Apes, reminiscent of the Planet of the Apes series. In this scenario, humans are enslaved and Apes operate starships and conduct missions. The crew must prevent an armada of Ape starships from crossing into their timeline while attempting to rescue a colony of enslaved humans at a dilithium mining camp. The idea raises concerns about potential legal issues, particularly regarding the use of trademarked terms like "Starfleet," but suggests that avoiding such terminology could mitigate the risk of lawsuits.

After reading and article Trek goes Ape over...I had the idea of having the new Trek crew travel through a wormhole that placed them in an alternative timeline where instead of them being humans they were instead Apes like we see in the Planet of the Apes. In fact all humans in Starfleet have been made slaves just like in the Ape movies with the Apes actually operating Starships and conducting away missions just like their human counterparts did. The Trek crew would not only have to stop an armada of Ape Starships from going through the wormhole into the other alternative time line they would also have to avoid being captured by the Apes once it was learned that they were human lovers after trying to free a colony of humans located on a dilithium mining training camp.

I sort of like it, in principle. Your only concern should be which studio sues you first...

Oh, you couldn't be sued as long as you didn't use words like Starfleet.
 
Saw Mickey 17, a sci-fi comedy, based on Mickey 7, by Edward Ashton, which I read and thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed. I am fascinated by stories of identity and the meaning of selfness. Mickey Barnes (Robert Pattison - of 'Sparkly Vampire' infamy) is running from a loan shark and, to escape the price on his head, signs up for an off-world trip to a new colony. The only way he could get selected is as an 'Expendable' - which is exactly what it sounds like: he gets all the suicide missions...
Man, when the Devil comes a-knockin', he does not smell of sulphur and brimstone, he smells of sweet perfume and roses... Doing a bit of research for a short story. All I wanted was some examples of professions typical for jurors in a trial of the time and location of the story (1850s New Orleans - of which I am not very familiar, so I have my work cut out for me). ChatGPT delivered that very nicely, giving me a list of a dozen typical professions for the type of man that was eligible for...
So far I've been enjoying the show but I am curious to hear from those a little more knowledgeable of the Dune universe as my knowledge is only of the first Dune book, The 1984 movie, The Sy-fy channel Dune and Children of Dune mini series and the most recent two movies. How much material is it pulling from the Dune books (both the original Frank Herbert and the Brian Herbert books)? If so, what books could fill in some knowledge gaps?
