The franchise does need a rest with a, what, fifteen or so year run of always having a Trek on TV? Let the dust settle. In ten or so years, I think fans will probably be a little more willing to accept a revised Trek that does more than tread the same ole ground episode after episode.

I think the problem for "Trek" ultimately came down to, as the article hints, too much of it going on the air.

There was almost a 20 year gap between the original series and TNG. That gave the writers of the show 20 years of cultural change-and 20 years of new technology-to work with.

Since, TNG, however, the producers kept one version of Trek after another coming out, each mining the same themes over and over.
