They won't be any more forgotten than they are now. In fact they'll have a chance at being revived, somewhere down the line, if Star Trek is revived. As it is, the chance of that outside of novels is zilch.

There will be sequels set in whatever universe exists that was setup here.

Yes.
Apparently Paramount has developed technology to be installed in theatres that activates upon the end of the film. This device sends out ultrasonic sounds that affect your brain and wipe out any memories you have of TNG, DS9 and VOY.
But strangely not ENT.
Apparently that one was pretty forgettable on its own.

Everything will be declared non-canon except for Tuvix.

I don't think they will be forgotten.
Color me optimistic...but I'm hoping that a successful film will make them even more popular.

Look, all the young girls I know (*ahem*) grew up with TNG. And the other reruns. It is part of the TV landscape really. Star Trek is Americana... none of it is going away. trust me. The far right, fascist right, love Trek as much as the loony left.
Everyone has a stake in it.

Never heard it put that way before... I was gonna make a political reply but this isn't the forum. Trek is always more enjoyable when its not partisan... which is as it should be.

^ Oh...I agree that it's not going away. At least as long as there is a wacky gang like this around...and a place for them to congregate.
However, I do hope that this film brings some new fans into the franchise. Some young kids that will keep this franchise vibrant...and out of danger of becoming part of 'the old geezer culture'.

Forgotten, no. If anything this will allow us to tie it all together better. Going from das blinkenlighten to touch-screens and holograms was jarring. Now we'll be able to trace the lineage of the technology better... and hopefully they tell a decent story too this time around.

That should be the tag-line for the new movie. It'll drag people into the theater like a magnet!

Re: If this movie is successful, will TNG & others be forgot
I don't see civil rights as a partisan issue (do you?) nor exclusively the central reason of Star Trek and would even say a large chunk wasn't nearly a allegorical as we might recall. For the most part ToS was balanced when dealing with its subject matter at least more subtle until TNG came around and went all in your face about it (therefore lost its appeal for me) I would say yes none partisan Trek is good Trek.
There wasn't anything exactly "pro war" about Enterprise in my view - of course we likely have different perceptions of what it means to be pro war. I'll leave it at that.
I just don't want Star Trek (or any scifi for that matter) to be about advancing any writers or creators agenda by means of entertainment - no need for Star Trek to be Left or Right propaganda. It just shouldn't rest on a political platform. Whomever is in control of it should be weary of alienating people of varied political slant...

I don't think TNG will be forgotten. The other spin offs might though.
