   >>>>> 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.

   Yeah, but I'm talking about some lowlife assistant to some   
   producer, who is so desperate for material, but so brain dead,   
   they'll do anything for a new idea. I've had my ideas stolen by   
   television series before, so I know it can happen. I never   
   particularly minded them being used. After all, it's not as if I   
   could sprinkle salt on them and eat them. They were no use to me.   
   I have no trouble coming up with fresh ideas.
