Since you brought it up, what I'd really like to see is Bab 5 get the TNG remaster treatment. The CG in Babylon 5 is fucking horrendous, but the story and characters are great. Update that shit for like fifty bucks, because seriously, it's so bad even fifty dollars spent on new CG would be an improvement, and reissue that fucker post haste.
It's been a few years since I rewatched B5 but I distinctly remember seasons 3+ looking pretty decent.

The visuals seen in this battle montage still look pretty decent to me:

I have a hard time getting my friends to watch b5 because the CGI is so bad in the first season.

CGI you have to just get over, it's the first season makeup that is horrid... but it all is really worth it such a great show.

I saw the bluray of the webseries or whatever it was with three episodes on a shoestring budget... they where good to quite good in terms of the show and getting to see the characters some more etc. but it was really awesome to see the station etc in 1080 glory it was really nice and if B5 got the TNG reCGI bluray release treatment wow win.

That bitch in the middle was a fetus when TNG ended. And to paraphrase Louie CK, I'd still fuck her.

So what's the over/under on there being a new Trek TV show in the near future? As much as I like the big budget popcornness of the rebooted movies (sensible plots aside, of course), I do think Trek works best on television, with room for characters to breathe and develop.

Trek does work best on television. High Concept sci-fi like The Motion Picture works. Or human interest like The Moby Dick of Khan work on the big screen. But they're not going to be making those movies anymore. For the types of Trek movies they're going to make, they've already made the best possible version with Star Trek: Whales, The Parents from 7th Heaven, and Spock does LDS.

I don't know who would do it though. I guess NBC? HBO would make a bizzare fucking to-the-max version of DS9 which, really, wouldn't be star trek any more than the reboot movies are star trek. Maybe Netflix could do it.

With the Roddenberries dead (his widow is dead, isn't she?) the name has to be priced out of reach though.

Paramount still owns the rights, so CBS would be the only network option. I dare say cable would be a better option, or even the CW.

Given that the holodeck is just images projected onto force fields, wouldn't holodeck sex just be a step up from dry humping a realdoll? It sounds a bit disappointing, really.

Perhaps you could have the replicator pop out a warm, lubed pocket pussy, then have the holodeck fill in the less useful parts. Technically, you could replicate an entire lifeless carcass, then have the holodeck animate it. I'm not clear on the regulations on such things.

I just picture walking the halls of the ship to the holodeck with my fresh T'Pol carcass slung over my shoulder and a sloppy grin on my face.

Well technically you never actually touch the cells of another person when you touch them...there are basically "forcefields" already on our bodies. So using leet future science, you could modify the forcefields to mimic the sensations you get some touching organic "forcefields".
