I gotta cast my vote for a Starfleet Academy series or movie. They would've done it way back instead of Star Trek VI if the 25th anniversary hadn't cropped up. Set it post-Voyager so you could have all of our favorite TNG, DS9, and VOY folks show up from time to time. Maybe have O'Brien as a regular again. Maybe have Picard as Commandant. He'd probably only agree to occasional guest spots, but he could be offscreen working though a nervous Ensign or something. Back when Wesley and Locarno were at the Academy they proved that there was a lot of intrigue and stuff going on. Have a Command track, a Medical, a Science, and an Engineering cadet living in the same dorm. They see things in different ways. They react to training situations differently. You'd have the Starfleet brat who's a decendent of someone from TOS, a Vulcan woman (I'd like to see more of the female Vulcan viewpoint, not like T'Pol, a REAL Vulcan), the alien engineering whizkid (not like Wesley or Barclay, but an engineering version of Neelix), and the human woman who comes from one of the outer worlds. She counterpoints the lead, makes him think beyond his lifetime of Starfleet "brainwashing," makes him look at life from the perspective of "the outsider." With O'Brien as their engineering professor and a few other professors for command, science, etc we could have a cross between "Saved by the Bell in Space" and classic Trek. It'd be great!
