"Space, the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship, Enterprise -- its five year mission, explore new worlds, to seek out, new life, and new civilizations, to bold go where no man has gone before." <<

If they do bring Trek back to the small screen, there has to be some variation of that classic opening narration. It really sets the mood for Star Trek. I hated that Berman removed it from the franchise after TNG, and the Abrams movies have strangely included it at the end of the film rather than the opening.

The reboot movies would be okay as sci-fi, had they not tried to turn them into Star Trek movies. They look like every other movie being made, the characters are, uh, they aren’t, and they don’t fit, at all. But whatever turns a buck for them I guess.

If there’s to be another series, I’m not sure what kind of new ground they could go over. While TOS and TNG were both “Wagon Train In Space”, and Voyager was “Gilligan’s Island in Space”, DS9 actually thrived (when they finally got going) on the characters’ relationships, when they weren’t letting one more group slip into the station undetected and kidnap someone or take over the whole place. Having the Wormhole right there meant they could go somewhere else, but ultimately Star Trek just consists of a small ensemble cast doing the same kinds of things every week in the same room, just like any other TV show. :’)

I’ve never seen an episode of “Enterprise”, just some YT clips.
