"I'd love to do what Ron Moore did with Battlestar Galactica, which is redefine an existing franchise, knock down certain barriers of perception and make it accessible to a broader audience"

Sounds horrible to me.

@twDarkflame: If it's a well-thought-out, more-plausible reboot inspired by what Moore did, I'm all for it - in principle.

If he's going for the same kind of dark, moody, and pessimistic veneer, I'm not. Regardless of its (many) flaws, Trek always aspired to have a positive and inspiring outlook, even in the darkest of circumstances.

When a leader is rescued from the enemy in Trek, he aims to recover from his trauma and regain normalcy; in Battlestar, he dons an eyepatch and sinks to the bottom of a bottle.

@milesteg: i'd think that in any reality it'd be a little hard to recover from trauma and regain normalcy after losing one's eye to torture

I also would do wonderful, wonderful (dirty) things to her.

I think though that it is quite a stretch calling her 'black'. She is 1/4 Afro-Cuban, 1/4 Puerto Rican, 1/4 Native American, 1/4 Irish.

Has anyone else noticed that all the most beautiful people tend to be racial hybrids?

@Gann:

I think he was referring to Angela Basset when he was talking of a Black female captain.

@CaptainKaos: Second rule of genetics, only the strongest survive. It makes sense that the different races developed different strengths as they evolved in different environments. Combining races not only lowers the chance of defects, but potentially combines the best traits from each race.

Like I've said before here on io9, after the movie there will be a new old-ST show, with Quinto as Spock, establishing new canon for the franchise. After that, there will be a new TNG, then a new DS-9, and a new VOY. Then, 40 years from now, someone will reboot the franchise all over again with some story where old Spock (played by an old Quinto, of course) will go back in time and redo things. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I want Rosario Dawson

...

as a starship captain. I think she would play the part well. The idea of a Star Trek reboot that isn't just "younger, sexier, and more asplosions" does appeal to me.
