why not...

... make another movie based mostly on the TNG cast, but lose the high-priced Patrick Stewart? His career has taken off in other directions anyway, and he's probably the single greatest budget item on these flix. So make Picard an Admiral, and let's see Frakes step into the captain's chair.

You young-un's may not remember this -- In '87, when TNG was new, a lot of fans wanted to lose the old bald guy and make Number One the captain. Before he grew the beard, Riker seemed very "Kirk-like" to a lot of the old-time fans that helped revive the series.

But as the show seasoned in, we all began to appreciate the depth that Patrick Stewart brought to the show.

But Stewart has grown expensive, and Frakes has proven himself in other ways. So let's lighten the load, leave Data dead and start over on the USS Titan. And bring in some of the better talent from the other series for color. I mean, at this late date, what do we have to lose?
