Remaking Trek

I am a big Star Trek fan, from way back, as well as a Babylon 5 freak. Now I hear the creator of the latter show, J. Michael Straczynski, planned to reboot Trek a few years back, but it didn't pan out. Too bad:

The treatment called for a re-imagining of the original series, centering on the three main characters of Kirk, Spock and McCoy, set on the U.S.S. Enterprise on its first five-year mission. Zabel told SCI FI Wire that the show would reset the mythology to "start a new 'Universe B' which would be free to move in new directions as needed and yet allow us to work with the classic characters that all fans love and cherish. The best of all worlds, if you will."
