Star Trek Generations 2?

I wouldn't mind see a young Bateson or relative showing up in one of the upcoming movies. It would have been an interesting episode, ala yesterday's enterprise without the reset.
Yes. But I'm not sure who could convincingly play a younger Kelsey Grammer.
I like the TNG/nuTOS crossover idea. So what if the TNG crew is getting up there in years - turnabout is fair play.

You are an evil evil person, keep it up.

And many times you get what you pay for..cheap ingredients, cheap product produced.
I'm pretty sure that Paramount does, in fact, accept spec scripts, and that's how several Trek writers broke into the business, including RDM.
Of course, there is a little more to it than just emailing a script to Paramount. One needs to go through the proper channels, and that often requires an agent. But, really, the difference between a "fan on the internet" sharing his fanfic and a "serious screenwriter" shopping his spec script is usually snail mailing it to the right guy using the right formatting with the right contact information and emailing it to the wrong guy using the wrong formatting without contact information.
The bigger problem is overcoming the spectacular failure of Nemesis, the inertia of which is likely to bring any speculative TNG project crashing to the ground,

Exactly, Kirk is not really dead. His echo is still in the Nexus..or it could be his echo is what came out and help defeat Soran and the real Kirk is still in there chopping wood wanting to marry Antonia.
Well The Final Frontier was a huge failure too, and there was still a sequel after that. On the other hand it probably made more money than Nemesis and the original cast built up enough goodwill after 25 years of gaining affection from fans that one bad movie wasn't enough to kill their sequel hopes.
I guess it's too late for TNG now, especially with a sequel lined up with a new crew. It would just be too weird to have this new movie, then go back to TNG (at which point it would be like 10 years between sequels, as I imagine the next Star Trek movie would hit around 2012). I guess their only hope would be a direct to DVD reunion. I still say they should get Nick Meyer to fix everything like last time.
Well, Trek did accept spec scripts but they stopped either later TNG or early DS9 due to legal advice.
That's too bad. A lot of good came out of that process..."Yesterday's Enterprise" just to name one.

I'd love to see a follow-up to TNG's "Cause And Effect", with Morgan Bateson (circa 2379 / 2380.)
I've been toying with it ("Star Trek: Vonnegut"), but I can never find a suitable crew combination.
People don't seem to respond well to the idea of Morgan Bateson temporarily re-taking command of the U.S.S. Enterprise-E before being given his own ship. Commander / Ambassador Worf as his X.O. while Jean-Luc & Beverly are honeymooning, in addition to coping with Starfleet Command trying to assess Picard's fitness to command after The Battle of The Bassen Rift & the loss of Data.
The wiki sites I've visited say the Bozema's crew was disseminated throughout the rest of The Fleet, & Gabriel Bush, Morgan's old XO, was given the Sabre-Class U.S.S. Bozeman-A.

I learned that first hand. I obtained the TNG Writer's Guide and sample screenplay and made a draft submission. They responded with an apology with the reason you cited. Needless to say, I was rather miffed. The odds of acceptance were slim, but 0% chance kills it all.
VOY was certainly doing it, up until the 5th season, because that's when I sent my spec script in and was invited to pitch stories via phone conferences (I live in Australia). Most series, as a rule, do not. Sadly, you have to take the slow road now - write something original, get it in there, or get an agent to represent it, and gradually work your way into the game. It's a slow process. Some do get lucky, but they are so very rare.
Whee! Zombie thread! 
TNG has the stink of failure on it. If Trek XI succeeds, that will simply reinforce the message that it was TNG, not Star Trek, that failed. If Trek XI flops, there will be no more Trek of any kind. So either way, TNG is done.
It doesn't matter what Stewart and Frakes wants. They aren't part of Trek's strategy for revival going forward. Neither are DS9, VOY or ENT.
