Star Trek has remained a ship somewhat adrift, especially since the prequel series Star Trek: Enterprise was canceled before its fifth season. When J.J. Abrams brought his kinetic, alternative timeline to life in 2009, the long-running saga received a shot in the arm. Since then, the franchise, now split between Paramount (film) and CBS (small screen), continues to seek out for the right vehicle to truly set the stars ablaze in the 21st century.
Star Trek Into Darkness and Beyond were both exciting and generally well-received entries but fell victim to diminishing returns at the box office when Beyonds meager haul seemed to call into question the fiscal viability of a fourth entry in the Kelvin timeline. Nevertheless, the saga remains wildly popular, with CBS unveiling its first streaming endeavor, Star Trek: Discovery, at the end of September. Longtime franchise creative Nicholas Meyer (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan), whos involved with the latest show as a writer and producer, recently revealed a new project. Although he hasnt disclosed the true nature of his undertaking, he did suggest that fans can assume its a feature film.
At this point, production on a fourth feature remains uncertain, at least according to Zachary Quinto (alternative Spock). Meyer could be exploring new avenues for the next Kelvin feature, but he may also be drafting a cinematic concept for the Prime timeline. Either way, is Star Trek ready to return to its classic continuity?

Into The Darkness and Beyond we disjointed alternate remakes.
They reminded me of “Little Nickey” except at least all the characters relived their own roles.
Spock screams KHAN ?
Kirk dies like Spock previously died ?

No.

Needs more reboot.
And lens flare.
Get an actress that looks more like a young Nichelle Nichols rather than that anorexic androgynous Zoe Saldana. Then make the episodes fun with lots of action and phony fistfights. Avoid anything like the horrid boring Next Generation. The Captain needs to be an @$$kicker. No touchy feely exploring of feelings.
Dr. Who?
Bring back Harry Mudd and the girls.
And more Gorn fights.
Hollywood would just ruin it with liberal tripe.
