which big name actor will Captain a new series?

The Abramsverse is just a bad place, period.

Yes. Yes it is.

I still want to see Peter Dinklage as a starship captain.

No, it's not. I am happy about the new Trek being less preachy.

I don't see that old Trek was like that unless Picard or Janeway was busy ranting and raving. And Picard got better after the first season of TNG.

Yeah, but i never cared for the Federation being a utopia.

No, it's not. I am happy about the new Trek being less preachy.

And I'm unhappy about it being just plain retarded & oriented for the whiz-bang set.

The second movie was more deep and philosophical.

Is the Federation enlightened enough? They had trouble accepting mini Picard.

It has to be the Prime Universe, set 10-15 years after DS9.

No, it doesn't "have to be" at all. In fact, that idea may just about be the perfect recipe for disaster! Particularly if you're suggesting some kind of updated yet stylistic continuation of TNG/DS9 laced with fan pandering guest appearances and call backs from those shows etc.

Personally, I believe something fresh, excitng - and yes - action orientated (shock horror) in the JJverse is the future. It doesn't necessarily have to be on the Enterprise, but it should certainly retain the aesthetic of 09 and STID. Please, let's not go back to WELL covered and cultivated ground (no matter how good) and kill the franchise on TV before it even gets (re)started.

As for actors, I have to agree going with an relative unknown is best.

maybe they could do both - i.e set it in the JJverse but in the late 24th Century and the JJ style Enterprise D with an all new crew (with guest roles for Admiral Picard, Riker, Data etc in various eps like the TOS actors in TNG)

call it Star Trek TNG (just the abbreviation)

Yes. Yes it is.

I also prefer my Vulcans unexploded.

No. If they have to stick with NuTrek then I hope they do something original, I don't want a thirty-something Picard and teenage senior staff (not to mention the super-intelligent baby-Wesley).

I pray to the benevolant deities that they go back to Prime Trek.

Yup and my Uhura a classy lady.

Pretty much in the sense that Ren was more deep and philosophical than Stimpy, or Butthead more deep and philosophical than Beavis.

Basically the Abramsverse feels less like a Trek setting and more like a job done on assignment by someone who would rather be doing Star Wars.
