Obvious he has to do the reboot universe version of "The Next
Generation".

And Ron Moore turned it into a show he wanted to make that had been
rejected by the network.

They'd be stupid not to pursue this TOS reboot until it dries out. TNG
reboot, if ever, is long in the future.

Anyways, I already see a Jason Statham that plays Picard. LOL. Punch it.

You can do TOS movies and a TNG show at the same time. History has
proven this to be so.

I don't think it would work today, but of course I may be wrong.

Probably not. And probably a remake too far. But just because TOS
movies are being made doesn't mean TNG TV can't be.

Its more comfortable to have all the elements be consistent. Having a
few things that dont quite jive makes it more real (and provides more
fodder for newsgroups). To go off canon and make quality is more
acceptable than to "reboot" and make a mess. Changing how Klingons
look is the classic reboot issue that on the surface seemd wrong but
turned out to be great because a) the discussion on why they were
different with several explanations was wonderfully creative and B)
aliens should look well alien instead of like humans with extra
eyeliner.
