Too close to the bad stuff of the last few incarnations (even if his stuff was good)
* Star Trek: First Contact (1996) (screenplay) (story)
* Star Trek: Generations (1994) (screenplay) (story)
* Star Trek: The Next Generation - All Good Things... (1994) (TV) (written by)
Plus way too many Branon Braga ST shows.
Someone new needs to come in an revive the franchise. I like the JMS idea, but I doubt he'd do it.
How about letting Niven and Pournelle loose on the Trek universe? Or invite William Gibson to take a crack? How about Michael Crichton? The mind boggles.
Now, what would John Ringo do with Star Trek? Or David Weber. Or we might go full goose bozo and go old school and turn the franchise over to someone like David Gerrold. And Nicholas Meyer is still around. He saved the franchise once...
Let Joss Whedon do it. Only now, the Federation are the bad guys and our heroes are fringe-folk just trying to stay alive and keep flying. It could be action-adventure, comedy, and still talk about the human condition, just like Star Trek is supposed it.
Oh, wait... we had that show. Fox killed it.
Cut David Weber loose, he can do long series work and not lose his audience.
Now, what would John Ringo do with Star Trek?
Probably start a war between the humans and every other Star Trek race. That might not be a bad thing.
Can you imagine a Star Trek Warship named Bun-Bun?
Let's Rock Vulcan-boy!!
Star Trek First Contact was the best of the NG movies, who are you kidding?
