Didn't think it would happen, but in private conversation I've been hoping/advocating for giving Whedon and his associates the opportunity to do the next series, if he/they were interested. It would probably be a bit different -- I don't know where he would take it -- but there would likely be interesting characters and character development. As it is, I want something that returns to the kind of quality I found in the middle and later seasons of TNG, once it really caught its stride. I also thought some of the Voyager episodes were quite engaging, particularly those involving Seven of Nine and some of the other... "trans"-human characters. Star Trek, whatever series, has always been particularly good when it comes to exploring what it means to be... "sentient", to choose a word perhaps less open to misinterpretation that "human", though I would choose to define "human" as something other than our specific species. And characters at the boundary of "human" (I guess that is the word that really speaks to me) have often been very interesting and effective vehicles in this regard. P.S. Perhaps it is in part that some of the other series became more interesting to me when some of the TNG writers migrated to them. I don't or no longer know the series timelines (in this world, as television shows) sufficiently to consider this more closely, off the cuff.
