You. Are. Wrong.It will be revealed that the whole warp core thing is a deception, and that Gene Roddenberry spinning in his grave is actually what powers all Starfleet vessels.
Agree.
They also could have presented the whole scene in Harbinger with more class too.
Although, this IS quite sexy.

Look at the discussion about Spock and SFA.
If that scene isn't sexy, sexual and sensual, good God what is?
What comes next, that the podophilia scene wasn't hot?
I had to look that up.
It's all in the presentation. Strippers, for example, don't seductively tease you, or anything. They just start taking clothes off with as much sophistocation and grace as a pair of work boots spinning in a drier. They just whip their tit out and - if you're lucky - there's not a garish tassel pasted over her nipple. And all of that is regardless of how hot they are and they tend to be fairly hot.
It's not Jolene Blalock's fault how she was shot. She was always "there" for the show and did everything asked of her to help boost the ratings. Unfortunately, directors and the cinematographers were clueless and incompetent, when it came to showing off her body. It's made even more frustrating for me, because I'm an artist, off the street, and even I would know enough how to handle this right. I don't know how there could be such a disconnect, here, when these people are supposedly "professionals" ...

That would make perfect sense, given all the times Trekkies have invoked that old chestnut over the years.
I try saying the things you TREKKIES long to hear, like about Gene Roddenberry's BOLD vision, to smooth relations, in order that we may bond, on a more STAR TREKKIAN level. And what do I find ...
That joke has existed since Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.
You need to seek out a better gentleman's club (hint; they'll refer to themselves as a "gentleman's club"). I went to a big pole dancing competition a few weeks back at a club where a friend of mine works and there was considerable artisty (and teasing) on display.

*A complete loss of morals and optimism
"Edgy" and "Dark" is big right now, but I don't want to see Star Trek go Dark Knight on us. I think that Star Trek fundamentally is about people trying to do the right thing, and I'd like to see that continue. I'd hate to see an overly cynical Star Trek.
* Overly perfect heroes
Something Voyager and to a partial extent Enterprise dealt with. This is sort of the opposite of the first thing I mentioned. Overly perfect heroes who always agree and never get upset can be boring (Or worse -- nauseating) to watch. I'd like to see the main characters be fundamentally 'good', but still have their own human flaws they need to work against in order to achieve that 'good'. Deep Space Nine is a good Trek example for this sort of thing.
*26-episode seasons
This is the fastest way to burn out the energy of the creatives back stage. I'd rather see a 13 episode season. Also, only one series at a time, no matter how lucrative the revived Trek TV show may be.
*Over-reliance on nostalgia or continuity from the past
I'd the like the show to take it's own continuity seriously, and ask it's fans to invest in it's mythology. But you shouldn't need to have to watched any of the previous Star Treks to be able to invest emotionally into this new mythology. They can still do a big story involving the breen, so long as who the breen are and why we care about the Breen are defined in the present story and don't rely on residual feelings from the past. Basically, treat every species that returns as being an introduction to a new species, and build from there.
*A lack of willingness to experiment
I'd like to see the new Star Trek take some risks in breaking the usual Star Trek TV story-telling format. For example of what I'm talking about, the show Doctor Who managed to put out some mind-bending episodes where the story was as much about the absence of the main character as it was his presence. I'd like to see a new TV crew try to see new ways Star Trek can express it's identity in the medium. Play with conventions. Don't be locked into format.
*An adolescent approach to sexuality
Remember in Enterprise, that time when Hoshi was going through the air ducts and when she fell out, her shirt came off? Tee-hee! Or remember when Troi and Crusher talked about their --giggle -- boobs in Insurrection? Because you know, women have boobs? In the later years of TV Trek the approach to sexuality was so repressed that it seemed juvenile. I'm sure in the future utopia adults can be sexual beings and still come across as adults. Of course, they run the danger of over-doing sexuality to the point where it's equally juvenile, but just don't do that. The writers should just pretend that they're writing adults for adults, and use common sense when approaching the subject.

Somewhat on that note ... no "mid-season breaks" that lasts for months, I hate this.
Okay occasional re-runs and one week interruptions in the schedule, but don't take the show off the air for protracted periods and then expect the fans to still be there.
(look at you Burn Notice)
I don't want to see any old people onboard, unless they're visiting Admirals.
Sci-Fi audiences tend to be youth-oriented. If you look at STAR WARS, for example, those who are EVIL, for the most part, are old and those who should be calling the shots in the universe are in their teens, mostly. Like Padme and Luke Skywalker, verses the Emporer and Darth Vader. The bulk of the U.S. military is around 20. Having a very youthful cast in the next STAR TREK is going to be a crucial ingredient to locking in solid ratings. Old people out there in the audience were young once, too, and they'll relate to that aspect of it. And, naturally, the crew will have parents and elder statesmen and so forth to come on board, occassionally to drive stories and further adventures ...
