Side note:
I have a bottle of the Tiberius Star Trek cologne. I bought it just for laffs. But it actually smells kinda good. A nice sandalwood base to it. Plus, it's a hit with the alien ladies.

And I'll bet that 60% of the time it works every time too. |

I've not actually worn it out yet. It's sitting on my shelf along with my Ghostbusters Ectoplasm energy drink, my Vault-Tec lunchbox, and all my other swag.|

I was being silly with the alien ladies comment.

Cameo appearance != creative mind behind it. And no, none of the Star Trek spoofs in Family Guy count either.

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

It'd be interesting if he manages to get something going with this. He certainly wouldn't be the worse choice by far. |
Referring to your link Lothic- not sure how much I would believe that report since it's suppossed to be 5-7 years after Voyager yet mentions that the Klingons are restless after the Praxis incident?? Praxis occurred about 100 years before. If anything, the later seasons of DS9 showed the Klingons, even with their losses in the Dominion war were level with the Federation...
Now if the empire split that would be interesting, or possibly some cleaning up of the god-awful explination that Enterprise gave.....
I also wouldn't mind another "bad guy" race stepping up, like the Breen.
"Well, there's going to be some light music and a short note of apology saying, 'The universe ended last week, we're really sorry, we don't know what you're doing here, didn't you get the message?'"- Steve Moffat
"Sir! A black hole has just opened up next to the ship!"
"You think that's bad? Remember the time ..."
I'll leave it to you fine people to complete the line.

I figure about the only solid data point we have to go on is the relative box office success of the last Star Trek movie. I'm not suggesting that Abrams will (or should) have anything to do with the next Star Trek TV series but I'm just making the point that the Network Suits might see that success as an indicator that it's time to bring Star Trek back to TV.
Basically as always I'll believe it when I see it...

I think you're reading too much into the phrase "since the Praxis incident". To me it says, "After 100 years of kowtowing to the Federation, the Klingons are getting restless".

Like I said before I think the franchise could do worse than to put MacFarlane in charge.
