I completely agree, why does Paramount continue to focus so much on prequels, there are so many things that they can do with this franchise - without having to screw with canon. I have had so many ideas for the franchise, ever since the first episode of Enterprise. The possibilities to branch out are almost endless. Just a few ideas that I have off the top of my head:
A sitcom / drama that focuses on the Ferengi
A series about Starfleet Command and their internal operations
A series that follows the class of cadets as they progress through Starfleet Academy
A show or movie that deals more with the internal workings of the Federation, not mercenarily Starfleet, but maybe the Federation Council, the Ambassador Corps, the Judicial System, the protocol for a new system joining the Federation, etc.
A series that takes the form from another point of view, such as focusing primarily on the Klingon or Romulan Empires.
A show that follows and explains the Klingon / Romulan War
Focus on another known, but less covered race, such as the Breen or the Gorn.
A show that explains the origins of the Borg
A show that explains the origins of the Dominion
Another series like Voyager, that focuses on a ship other than the Enterprise, but takes place in the Alpha / Beta Quadrant. (The Excelsior, the Sutherland, The Farragut, The Phoenix, The Hood, etc.)
Perhaps an intellectual drama – Interstellar Diplomatic Relations
A series that deals with the Klingon Civil War
I'm just curious, what does anyone else think? I'm interested in hearing the thoughts, ideas and comments of others.
