Any new TREK series must be radically different from the movie series so as to not steal its thunder...that must be the paramount concern. Having TREK series on TV with crews and TREK movies with crews confuses and ultimately creates the impression that the movies are just two-hour episodes of the current show for a movie going public that cant seperate the two
that isn't just my view, it is a recurring complaint from many movie reviewers...(and, for the most part, Trek movies do seem kind of cheap and are, in the cases of Nemesis-Insurrection, not even better than most of the 'so/so' episodes)
So...if TREK XI is starting a series of movies about Kirk and company, then any new TREK series must avoid that. Perhaps a TREK series that is centered around one MAJOR character...perhaps he is sent to worlds, secretly, to prepare them for First Contact...maybe he is a 'scout' for the federation and is out there....in the new frontier..competing with Klingon scouts and Romulan scouts trying to find the best 'new worlds' to explore....heck, maybe he is a ghost hunter, or a vampire hunter, or a treasure hunter (that would be cool)....but a show centered around ONE character as the main character. No crew of multi-racial humans mixing it up with Bajorans or Vulcans....none of that stuff we have seen for 40+ fricking years....
