People forget that ST:TNG cost more than a million bucks a pop when it started, and that was a syndicated show that had no network or regular time slot. (different day and time in every city)

No EX Pro is supposed to make money of the that show but they were only able to recoup the losses ONLY after syndication. Think Return of the Jedi whom many on this board think was a moneymaker. It lost money and only recoup the money after many years.

Use the Star Trek Universe but a whole new ship and focus. Maybe have Picard as a guest but a new set of people.
I give this idea to you. A promissing cadet—top of his class —at Star fleet Academy is caught in bed with admirals daughter—is asigned the next day to an old gunboat patroling the netural zone as punishment—a once great captain Zack, is in command of a bunch of misfits that sails back and forth on endless patrol. But in truth he is a sort of spy—to keep the peace—in a lawless zone filled with spies and sumgglers—and aggressive Romulans. His science office is an Andorran Blue skined woman—that also shares his bed. The young officer becomes a valued part of the team as the gunboat prevents wars and stops all sorts of plots. then you go—just write in the storiesand you have an original Star Trek Show.

Your joke aside there were 4 series without Scottie and Bones. And the best of these, ‘Enterprise’, got lost on UPN in a dead end slot.

How about a show called “Shran” or “My Favorite Endorian”

I started watching in Sept 66. And Abrams movies I consider some of the best. Superior in every way to the Next Generation series with its rabid political correctness . The only movies that were as good were Wrath of Kahn, Undiscovered Country and ST 4(love it too but it is just so 'Greenpeace' ). The best of TNG movies was First Contact

Yes I could find flaws with Abrams movies. As I could with any of the others. Re-booting in the manner that he did made the loss of a character possible (ie: Pike) and unlike normal prequels, you don't know who will make it out alive. The plots were fresh and crisp, a blend of drama and comedy and the effects were superior to any previous

"JJ Abrams Star Trek was absolute F-----g GARBAGE." - Captainpaintball

Captainpaintball speaks the truth.

"Abrams movies I consider some of the best." - Vaquero

What Vaquero says is unimportant, and we do not hear his words...

Jeri Ryan had some talent. “Infinite Regress”, in which Seven assumes the personalities of some of the beings she assimilated as a Borg, was possibly the best episode in the Voyager series.

So what does CW stand for?

I think originally it stood for a partnership between CBS and Warner.

“sir it’s not the sun god they worship it’s the Son of God. “

Close...

The exact quote by Lt. Uhura;

"I'm afraid you have it all wrong, Mister Spock, all of you. I've been monitoring some of their old-style radio waves, the empire spokesman trying to ridicule their religion. But he couldn't. Don't you understand? It's not the sun up in the sky. It's the Son of God."

It’s no coincide that Scott Bakula killed the franchise. What that his only role where he didn’t eventually dress up in drag before the show died?

I’m sure all the Trekkers are looking forward to the next LGBT Trek version.
