How?
Logically...is someone isn't willing to do something for a small cost they're not going to want to do MORE of something for a greater cost.
If they're concerned about being able to recover an average $84,000 an episode on Deep Space Nine, I imagine the higher ups are really concerned about the ability to recover $5-10 million an episode on a new Trek series.

The Next Generation is a unique entity, and is undeniably more popular and garners more nostalgia from it's viewers than DS9. Also, when have they said they aren't going to make DS9 available in Blu-Ray? For fucks sake, the entirety of TNG isn't available yet.
I also think you are vastly underestimating the cost of re-doing the CG work in DS9 and I don't feel like teaching those who are are hell-bent on being contrarians anything they will will most assuredly ignore.
Either way, comparing DS9 Blu-Rays and a new show is just retarded. Besides, you obviously know nothing of these businesses are run, they would make more money on a smaller profit percentage from a larger investment.
They would gladly put the money up if they believed there was a market for it, and honestly, I think there is a larger market for something new, than a re-mastered version of something old.
Bill, you joked about how long it took me to respond to your DS9 nonsense, well why has it taken days for any of you to respond to anything else I've said?
Regardless, it's clear that you guys are going to continue to sit here and spend your free hours on these forums, attempting to drive the point home that there will never be another series.
I have made this point before, and I'll make it again, for reasons I have yet to discover, many people on these forums post as if they are trying to convince themselves a new series won't happen. Shame on you.
When did I say it was? Top-to-bottom, left-to-right. It's called reading.
Actually, it's left-to-right then top-to-bottom.
Fixed your post.

Awwww, sour grapes. How cute.
By the way. hotlinking to images from other sites isn't allowed here unless it's an image hosting service like imgur.
I think the poster might be referring to the lamentable sitcom crap in the Abrams movies.
Why would 90210 be a reference to "sitcom crap". Wasn't it a prime time drama/soap opera? Usually it's a reference to a young, hip cast.
Trying to crunch the numbers based on some assessment of Trek fanbase demographics fails to recognize that the franchise was killed largely because the fanbase was asked to rubber-stamp whatever was served them.
So the paradox is that the boardroom business decision to do Trek would largely be motivated by wanting to coast off the fanbase, but it's coasting off the fanbase and not giving them the highest quality that will kill the franchise all over again.
So just do good work, whatever it is, and you'll build a fanbase, whether it's on top of an existing franchise or not.

I don't remember enjoying it.
"____ 90210" is also a phrase sometimes used to disparage something as light and fluffy, not to be taken seriously.

I watched maybe half an episode.
I think it's because the two are apples and oranges. I mean, if they won't spend $15 million to remaster DS9, then why do they bother to spend $200 million on making a movie?
They're two different things with two different outlets and sources of revenue. I can understand why they'd be hesitant to remaster DS9 or VOY because they just weren't as popular, and probably didn't have as high of DVD sales as TOS and TNG. It's not worth the cost. But that doesn't extend to doing something else, particularly something that's not just repackaging old stuff to hemorrhage the pockets of collecting fans only.
