   Know what Paramount should do? They should comission a series of   
   ten limited budget Trek films by different well known directors,   
   and run them as a miniseries on television. Just let the directors   
   do whatever stories they wanted to do. They could put the Trek   
   special effects team at the disposal of the different directors as   
   their films came up, so all the films would have a nice, uniform   
   look and feel. It would be fascinating to see what fresh minds   
   would do with the Trek universe.
