Empires don't have kings...and the Klingons usually seem to have something like a constitutional monarchy. XD
CBS should bring back TNG like Fox did w/X-Files

If they needed to have a torch passer for the new show, and it actually made sense...
...Patrick Stewart. And he'd send the new crew off with a tear-jerker rendition of his "Space... The Final Frontier" properly tweaked to reflect the new show's premise.
But he's the only one i'd really want to see do any sort of a cameo or a redawning of the uniform. As Spock was ultimately "enough" for Trek 2009. That's also assuming that'd even work. We have literally no idea what this new show is going to be.
But they'll never actually bring back TNG. That just won't happen. To be honest, TNG doesn't need to be brought back anyway. It had seven mostly great seasons of TV and with the remasters it's just as good as anything on TV today. At least, between Season 3 and 6.

Gotta love the overwhelming hatred for a pretty decent idea. I don't clamour to see it, but the thought that it couldn't be an enormous success is nonsense. And this idea that they're "too old". Huh? Too old for what? To sit walk around and/or sit aboard a ship? That sounds just about ridiculous unless you have a serious problem with ageism.
Not true. I just saw her in an awesome movie, Little Dead Rotting Hood.
Ok, it wasn't all that awesome, but it filled an hour with background noise while I worked on some reports. I almost didn't recognize her.
I have a problem with being bored out of my mind. Which is what the 24th century shows did more often than not. I want younger people because I want to watch them get out and explore, not sit around and discuss the issues of the day. If I wanted the latter, I'd watch Meet the Press.
Hah, I think you said in another thread our tastes (and thus our wishes for the new show) to be completely different. Seems you were right!
I loved TNG. The best TV show ever. And I don't have problems with actors getting old, people do get old (except androids, that would be a problem.) Still, it would be odd for the same crew to work together after all these years. If they could make a believable reason for them to meet again (Picard's 90th birthday?) and weave an interesting story about that, I could see a TV movie or miniseries (three parts or so) working. Still not going happen. But I hope the new series is in post-Nemesis prime, so we can get some cameos.
That's part of the problem with the idea. It's not that hard if your main characters are 'Mulder' and 'Scully' to conjure up a reason why they'd bump into each other again. When you have a main cast of 7 or 8 people and the premise of the show was they all work together on a starship, and on top of that several members of the crew have already moved on in universe, it becomes a bit less believable that they'd all suddenly decide to up and work together again, all back in the same roles with no progression (random increases in rank but doing the same job don't count) and no changes.
They had enough trouble shoehorning in Worf for the TNG movies.
^^^ They kind of already did that in the establishing shots of AGT. They had all moved on and Picard got the band back together again for one last mission to literally save the known galaxy, and quite possibly the entire universe from a reverse-spreading mass of anti-time. To do it again runs the risk of being highly derivative, contrived and uninspired.
Then perhaps they're not for you. They did have millions of fans that aren't you so I wouldn't exactly base a business decision off your lone opinion.
What is exploring to you? Watching people run around, shoot phasers and jump through things? There are tons of shows like that you can watch. I think they can explore just fine at their age and if you need action so badly, a younger crew along with them can fill that need.
Wow for Trek fans, you guys have no imagination. I don't see what's so difficult about it. They're friends. Ever been to a family reunion? Nobody said they had to be the current crew of the USS Enterprise.
Holy shit! I thought they were making the new TV series for me alone! Thanks for the wake up.
In case you don't quite understand, that was sarcasm. I can only speak to what I want out of a TV series.
Nicholas Meyer wanted to have Kirk getting the band back together again for one last mission scenes for TUC. But it was too expensive.
Oh yeah I remember reading about that. I think the only reference to that which survived the final cut was Scotty's "I just bought a boat" line.
