There has been a lot of talk about a potential new Star Trek series recently. Joe Michalczuk at Sky News tweeted the news that Roberto Orci had a meeting with CBS to revive the franchise on television. Orci later denied it, saying that he simply enquired about the rights. But considering the fan reaction at the suggestion of a new series, it has to be obvious to the network and potential advertisers that there would be some significant interest. However, this isn't the first time that a new series has been pursued. Since the cancellation of Star Trek: Enterprise, six months haven't gone by without some rumour about someone or other aiming to bring Star Trek back to television. Michael Dorn to this day is still hoping for a Captain Worf television show, while others who have expressed a desire to bring the show back to TV screens include both Bryan Fuller and Bryan Singer (Star Trek: Federation), and there was also the undeveloped animated series Star Trek: Final Frontier. Also, don't forget the number of fan made productions in that time with Star Trek: Renegades currently shooting. But what should the new series look like? What needs to remembered about past successes and previous failures? What are the rules of Star Trek as we see them, and how would they work in a modern television series? Here are ten rules that any new Star Trek series needs to follow in order to not gather together the viewers of the current Star Trek films, but also bring back the fans of the old series that have looked down on J.J. Abrams efforts and somehow bring in new viewers too.
