If we do, Jim Parsons absolutely NEEDS to play Data.



We could still get that. It's unlikely we'll see a Trek Prime series anytime soon (But yay! I have a feeling Burman and Bragga are god forever!)
But I currently want to see Star Trek Excelsior set in the new continuity, with J. Michael Straczynski at the helm,
it would follow the adventures of the USS Excelsior, NX-2000, under the command of Captain (Or admiral) Hideki Sulu, played by George Takai (If he'd do it). This setting he'd be playing Hikaru Sulu's grandfather.
Generally alotting for him to play the Sulu we all know and love, be relevent in the new continuity, and allowing the new Sulu to go on to become the Sulu we know he could be.
Bring back Tim Russ to play Tuvok. And... the sky's the limit.
I think this could have that same refreshened and reinvigerated feel that the new movies have, and be a more traditional trek at the same time. Unlike an Excelsior set in the Prime universe, they wouldn't be constrained to a preset timeline, and can have them bump into the ferengi, cardassians, and borg.
With JMS at the helm, we know we've got a good head writer, who could work within the new setting, but still flesh it out in ways the movie franchise never could. Like I said, he could turn the movie setting more into the trek we know and love.
Of course, a lot of this hinges on the charms of George Takai, and his accepting the role. He's rejected in the past because he feels no one would want to see him for being too old. But maybe if he has the option to leave after a season or two, and pass the Excelsior on to another captain when it's class goes into production (Going from NX to NCC).

Of course... the new Excelsior would be massive compaired to the old trek scaled ships... but then, I guess that doesn't really matter much.

Or, maybe I'm just reeeeeally missing Star Trek, and at this point anything sounds good to me.
Or hey, if not the Excelsior, then maybe the Reliant, with a two hour pilot movie featuring a run-in with KHAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

Tim Russ was in Generations not Undiscovered Country as a Star Fleet guy. I would love to see a new Star Trek on tv,but I think they would be afraid to do a prime series.
