   I didn't think of Frakes because he's already got a bit of a directing   
   career away from Trek. Burton might make a good choice.   
      
   I wouldn't mind them bringing back TNG weekly with Riker or LaForge as   
   Captain with a new crew and the occasional guest shot with say Picard as an   
   Admiral along with the rest of the old crew occasionally. Had they gone that   
   route instead of movies the way some series like "Law and Order" or "ER"   
   have with their ensemble casts rotate out they might have had a better shot   
   at longevity.   
      
   Hey, at this point I say bring Wil Wheaton back!   
      
   Can you say Cap'n Crusher?
