Well sounds like we are moving closer to a new TV series guys, but the go sign will be based on how well the new movie does. Id this a good thing or bad? Well I know I am going to see the new film, and I hope most of you do too, a new TV show is hanging in the balance. At least that's how it looks to me.

On the other hand, using the movies as a barometer for interest is a bad sign for a prime universe show, since the whole point of the last movie was a comic style continuity reset. Also, the article is primarily talking about Paramount's interest in a new show, not CBS's, which seems even more like reboot universe.
To be honest, I think we need more time to wait for a new show, just look at the gap between TOS and TNG. Right onw I think people are still on withdrawl in a sense, and just want a new show "now" for the sake of just having a new show. We shouldn't rush for things.
In all honesty I just want Enterprise to be finished, just push aside that holodeck last episode and start the Romulan - Earth War wit hthe NX-Refit class.
A lot of Star Trek episodes have been considerd non-canon or just pushed under the rug (a nice amount of Voyager episodes as an example).
But thanks for sharing.
If that's all that would be for for a new Trek show, then I never want another show again.
as for the tng reboot, that really was just spiner musing about things. nothing much more to it than that.
My guess is that they don't want to do a "fill in the gaps" series because other than the period between Enterprise and TOS, there is too much canon for them to be fully creative.
I mean, I would love to see a series based on the Enterprise B or C, but they will never do it because they do not want to be locked-in to existing uniforms, ship design, and canon timeline.
They could do a Next Generation reboot by making Picard an admiral, ambassador, or retired and putting a new crew on the Enterprise E, with guest appearances by members of the old DS9, TNG, and VOY cast.
Since it would be set in the future, they could come up with all kinds of new uniforms and whatnot and set it before the Abrhams movie so they do not have to deal with the destruction of Romulus.
