   Hey that's great! I know that's one thing Trek promotes is to keep one's   
   mind on the straight and especially narrow.   
      
   I believe that there is hope for new Trek. It is a fact season 4 of   
   Enterprise was headed out of the vacuous abyss that Voyager, the last 2 TNG   
   movies and Enterprise's first 3 seasons drove it into. To be fair to Ent   
   though TNG's first 2 seasons were pretty damn painful.   
      
   But you and "Anybody" are probably right, we should keep our minds closed to   
   new ideas (and any new Trek) and especially jump to conclusions on little or   
   no information.
