Potential perhaps but execution was horrible. Temporal wars etc garbage. Series was a fustercluck. Like voyager before it.

There hasn’t been a series since because enterprise was so bad it killed the franchise and burned the body...

This year marks ten years since that doc died. In another ten collective memories might be foggy enough to try anothe Star Trek series

Agreed the execution was horrible - not to put too fine a point on it, but there was no real story continuity between episodes. Each episode was more or less self-contained: what happened in the last episode was either totally “forgotten” by the characters or no longer relevant - no matter how over-ridingly important it was previously.

Worse, there was no serious theme to the whole thing: exploring for the sake of exploring may work in real life, but is boring on paper or screen. Just a travel log without the depth of most travel logs. In the end simply mindless entertainment.

All of which is why any remake holds little interest for me.

Babylon 5 is still the best Scifi TV/movie ever made and was what Star Trek could have been.
