Technically, he's wrong. The first spinoff, Star Trek: The Animated Series, lasted only two seasons.

I would be up for this. There are some pretty good fan films out there as well, like Prelude to Axenar, which has some Star Trek and BSG alumnus in different roles (with and without make up).
And ‘Enterprise’ lasted only three seasons. Which wasn’t near enough. That show had untapped potential.
I’d prefer “Firefly”.
I liked the “Enterprise” series.
They are all up on the net now for watching.
And the missing seasons of the original series are in production... I saw the first few and they are really good!
The production values are better than the original seasons.

I recall that, before Enterprise bowed, the buzz was that a new series would take up in the ST-NG timeline, and be focused on Star Fleet Academy. Didn’t happen, of course, which was too bad. IMHO Enterprise started interesting, but grew increasingly gimmicky and desperate by its last season.
They don’t want a new Star Trek series.
I was in California last week pitching a new Star Trek series to NBC.
It’s called NAKED MIDGET SINGING AND DANCING STAR TREK NIS.
They said to try selling it to ABC.
Have you seen Star Trek New Voyages “Mindsifter”. I remember reading it in a book back in the seventies
I was a big fan of Star Trek from day 1, young whipersnapper that I was, but I really loved 'Firefly'

Four seasons.
So basically Game of Thrones in Space....
How about a Star Trek that correctly represents the demographics in the year 2100+, i.e. mostly African?
How about a Star Trek that assumes there will be a singularity between now and 2100+, i.e. all or most of the cast are AI robots?
How about a Star Trek in the far distant future where run-of-the-mill characters accidentally create star systems by just burping?
Or even better, how about a Star Trek that features a group of colonists on a planet that due to some monstrous event have lost much of their technology. They have to combat occasional visitors while attempting to develop their technology to a point where they can leave the planet or at least send an SOS probe toward Earth. Sort of like Star Trek meets Gilligan's Island.
Whatever happens: PLEASE NO TIME TRAVEL, PLEASE NO TACHYON BEAMS, PLEASE NO DEUS EX MACHINA of any sort.
Anybody remember they try do take on Eungeic war for Enterprise like season 2 or 3 remember
I don’t know... the Academy concept could have let them go with lots of “the young and the intergalactic” teen angst plotlines.
I saw those, they’re very good! Like they picked up from the end of TOS with the sets and props, etc. Amazingly recreated.
They killed it with the time war arc.
