I personnaly think that the time has come to get rid of the old crew 
and bring in a new bunch... preferably unknowns.

I don't know about anybody else, but the movies are becoming pretty
worn.  Kirk doesn't seem believable with that "new" hair of his
and Scotty and Bones look old.  The only ones that comes off as
not having changed is Chekov and Sulu...

I would like to see a new TV series developed based on the Star Trek
universe.  Completely new cast and new stories with maybe the occasional
visit by one of the old regulars...
