Star Trek The Next Generation Sequel: 10 Things It Must Have

5. The Borg

Where there's Picard, there will always be the Borg. He is, after all, still Locutus of Borg and his relationship with the behemoth Collective sets him apart from all other captains and all other alien races.

They don't necessarily have to be the main focus of the series (and indeed doing so would probably be a mistake) but it's about time we got to see the Borg return. Particularly if it means we don't have to see another love affair with the Klingons (who are great, in case any are reading this, but there's a whole galaxy out there of possibilities).

The Borg are an intriguing prospect because they are the anti-Starfleet. They seek to explore new worlds but to devour them and end all life rather than categorise it and establish mutually beneficial relationships. Having them reappear when Starfleet's agenda is even more progressive would be a perfect choice.
