Here's a serious question.  With the killing of Spock in STII, the public
outcrying and the subsequent resurrection of Spock in STIII, I'm beginning
to wonder just how dependant the Star Trek stories are on the current
cast.  Could Star Trek survive if the old cast members were steadily weaned
out of the show for (for lack of a better word) new blood?

In other words, are Spock, Kirk, McCoy, etc., really THAT essential to the
nebulous being known as "Star Trek"?
