I think a new TV series is Paramount's best bet but they can't seem to agree on an era, let alone whether it could be profitable.

They couldn't do a film for a lot of reasons, but if Twin Peaks and Arrested Development can come back I think they could make the economics work to do a TV miniseries. It's been a long time since Nemesis, I think people would be excited to see those characters again. Star Trek is supposedly one of the most popular things on Netflix, and that would be an ideal place for something like this.

But to be clear, I think it would work, not that it could happen. I've heard similar things to your other posts about Paramount, and that the relationship between Paramount and CBS is so dysfunctional that it's unlikely that Star Trek will come back to TV in any form in the foreseeable future.
