Does anyone think there will be another TV series? If so, do you think they will go into the future after TNG? Or will they make another spin off like DS9 or Voyager?
The future of Trek

I think they should reboot the Next Gen film franchise some time in the future, after the AbramsTrek series is done.
Next Gen was the only other Trek series other than TOS to achieve mainstream success, and ten-fifteen years down the road would be the right time for a reboot.

I don't think we'll ever see the 24th-Century ever again. They'll just keep rebooting the 23rd-Century from now on and recasting the TOS characters over and over at 10-15 year intervals.
I actually think CE is probably correct. I'd guess the next show will be a TOS time frame show with a recast group maybe 10 years down the road or so.
If we do see a TNG remake, it'll be changed up and punched up considerably like the new movie was supercharged. Which isn't actually a bad thing in my opinion, but others would disagree. It would be the studio's best chance at getting the audience size they'd need to support an expensive sci-fi show, though.

um, why do the two of you assume that it's only going to be TOS reboots from now on?
TNG was a hugely popular show, and the first two Next Gen films were very succesful.
I don't think the success of Trek XI was due only to it being TOS-era, I think there were a lot of other factors.
TNG will be ready for a reboot someday.

Because as iconic as TNG was, TOS was more iconic. The idea behind rebooting is to go back to basics, back to the beginning and it doesn't get more basic or beginning than TOS. I'm not saying a TNG reboot is impossible, I just think it's a lot less likely than continued TOS reboots. Star Trek is in a weird place right now and anything anyone says is nothing more than pure speculation and more TOS reboots is my speculation.
Any sort of DS9/VOY/ENT remake isn't even worth the discussion, though.
