Well...
By Logic Incarnate


If a cerebral sci-fi exploration plot fails in Trek XII - they can always go back and do something action-y in Trek XIII - which will no doubt be greenlighted, and for which they already have the actors signed up. Might as well take a risk and do something that will get critical acclaim, even if not a box-office cleanout.

- Trek XII: Literary sci-fi

- Trek XIII: Klingon/Khan action

Could bring in some big name literary sci-fi authors to help come up with something. Maybe some social sci-fi that is largely planet-centric - maybe some 'into the unknown' exploration sci-fi with exotic alien worlds or space habitats. Then if it turns out bad, they can put Kang, Kor, Koloth and Khan in some fanwank epic lol.

The most important thing for an exploration plot though, would be to capture the enigma of exploration - this is essential. The feeling you get when reading a book on how an explorer stumbled upon an entire ancient civilization buried in a jungle - or the feeling an archeologist would get if they could go back in time and visit an ancient silk road trading centre, at the dawn of Buddhism. The cultures, if there are any, should be well concieved. The awe of Arthur C Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama, when stepping onto some alien space structure.
