I don't know if this got on all your local news stations but a few months ago before the final season of Voyager started, the local news sponsored a "Vote for the story of the next Trek series" poll.
One of them was pretty lame (an "all stars" cast of everyone's favorites: Data, Odo, Pickard, the Doctor, etc.) but two others were interesting:
1) ST: Academy -- life at the Academy (duh!)
and
2) ST: Borg -- all about the Borg
I like the idea of the Borg one, because I've always loved those episodes, but that would seem to be very expensive and annoying to do full makeup on a regular basis. Not to mention they're just so powerful -- it'd have to be called Star Trek: Assimilated.
The Academy one really seems to be a little interesting. Remember when the actor who plays Tom Paris on Voyager first showed up on Star Trek? It was in that episode on ST:TNG when Wesley gets in trouble when a member of his 4-shuttle flight team gets killed doing an illegal (dangerous) maneuver during Academy shuttle drills. Anyway, that sort of thing, I guess -- sounds better than early Federation to me, and yet still somewhat limited from overpowering the universe.
Of course I've always loved the more powerful species in the Delta quadrant on Voyager -- maybe they should do some more stuff on that -- kinda like ST: Really Deep Space 10.
Oh, THAT kind of time lock...

I had visions of straps from the chair locking you in until authorities arrive if you accidentally remain in the chair after the license expires.

Third person shooters, been there done that.
First person shooters -- *so* done that.
What I want is a SECOND person shooter -- where you walk around looking through the eyes of the closest monster to you. Or perhaps even little subsets of your screen (think Jeopardy) for each monster within firing range (actually, I REALLY like that idea)...
So you have to aim the controls so that the gun is aimed at "you", and when you hit the fire button -- the bullet/shell/BFG-9000 blast comes right at your face. (assuming you shot straight).
Can I get a AMEN?
