NO NO NO.. TNG is dead and ST needs a fresh reboot
By GreatCzarsGhost

I hate to say this but Star Trek is OLD and most in the general audience don't connect to it anymore. We fans do because we're.. .well fans, but we ain't enough to make a movie into a hit. For that they need to bring in a regular audience. Looking at ST over the past couple of movies and TV shows illustrates the steady decline as casual fans have left the fold. I believe the only way to reverse this is not to stuff old pudgy actors into uniforms and situate them on familiar sets with a boring script, but rather perform a full on total reboot to the franchise.

The next movie/TV series should feature a completely new cast on a fresh new Enterprise. A fresh young cast along the lines of what TNG was 20 years ago. Advance the time line another 150 years and shake up the old stogy Federation. Maybe something like the old Federation has just joined a huge "Galactic Federation" and is now a small upstart group in the big picture. Introduce new friends and enemies. Maybe our Federation could be mentored into the new one by Balok, the little guy who drank Tranya and had the huge ship with the bubbles all over it from The Corbomite Maneuver episode.

I don't know, I'm just typing of the top of my head but the general idea here is make a movie that is new and fresh with faces, stories, and ideas that will maybe attract all those people who left and lots of new eyes and fans to the franchise. My basic fear is that a new TNG movie will flop like the last ones and this old friend of mine will be dead forever after that.
