Jump 900 years into the past and do a period costume drama.
I always figured TAS was the final two years of the five-year mission...
I think Goldsman's actual statement is pretty vague - he could easily mean a spinoff with the non-TOS cast. Just redress the sets and you're off to the races.
He could also mean a movie, or...some third thing.
And in any case, he's moving on with his career.
It's cool that they're excited about possibilities, but I remain very skeptical that there's any actual traction there.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Producers Have A Genius Plan To Keep The Show Alive (Kind Of)

The pass, which launches on Friday, doesn't require registration or a physical card. Instead, the benefits will be available upon arrival at parks, national museums and when booking train tickets. Canadians and foreign tourists are eligible.
It's not really a "pass" then, but cool.
Yeah, that really didn't sink in for me until some time had passed, but he was a real star. If the team really is that deep and it's not a mirage...
Okay, this is kind of a nothing story, but...what an interesting "what if"...
All that money for "the Doctor walks through some fan blades".
Heck, it was pretty much Goldsman's pitch:
In the first pitch document that we sent to the network… we opened with a question asking, “What if we just did Star Trek?” And they said, “Okay.” Every day in the writers’ room, we try to imagine how would Gene Roddenberry and his team make The Original Series if they were doing it today?
I...don't really think this one is all that good?
I'm going to jump straight into something that I forgot to talk about last week: the Ninth Doctor himself. I've been trying to put my finger on what sets him apart from the others, and...for me, it's his goofy aloofness. He's at once extremely enthusiastic and slightly contemptuous of those around him, with an edge that definitely doesn't carry forward to his successors. He certainly throws Rose into the deep end in this episode, dropping her far into the future, well after everyone she knows is dead and gone, just in time to (almost) watch her planet get destroyed by the sun.
There are really nice character bits throughout, like Raffalo the plumber and of course Jabe the tree lady. Lady Cassandra certainly is memorable.
The Doctor lets Cassandra dry out until she explodes in the end. Remember kids, the Doctor never does cruel things, and the more recent seasons have ruined everything!
Not the worst episode ever, but hardly the best. It continues to focus on Rose's journey, and her reaction to exactly what it means to travel through time and space. It also continues to lay out the Doctor's backstory in small drips.
Edit: Oh, and it's sort of weird that they didn't tie the Adherents of the Repeated Meme more directly into the Bad Wolf nonsense.
