I'm really looking forward to what they come up with next. Having the bits and pieces of all the post-Enterprise Star Trek universe to play with, but without them being set in concrete? My oh my, what a toy bin. There are a tremendous number of great ideas in amongst the chaff, and letting those be taken out, turned over and reworked will be nice to see. (Heck, even _ENT_ managed to do some nice bits, such as retconning the Orion 'slave girls' as the heads of a pheromone-based matriarchy, such that the entire external face of the culture is a sham to infiltrate patriarchal hierarchies without undue attention... IMO, that was brilliant.)
