All I have to say is OMG no.... I was hoping for something different. I mean the last series was what 4 years long? They just need to choose the right captain. I knew I couldn't see Scott Bacula as a federation captain. That's probably why it only lasted 4 years. The last Star Trek animated series lasted 22 episodes. Don't make the cartoon look like it's only gonna be another 22 episodes and end it. Get some real artist no one cheap. If a cartoon is the best you can do make it good not like a 2 year old drew it.

From what i've read it has too many Klingons, and the ship itself looks just plain dumb imo. I'm also not too fond of the setting they've come up with. Yeah i don't know about that Cardinal idea.

Watching season 3 of Enterprise, it was entertaining to watch how the characters changed over the course of their season long mission. Especially Cpt. Archer, who tortured one guy for info and attacked an innocent species another time to steal their warp coil (or whatever). Watching them sink to lower and lower depths in order to complete their mission was something i haven't seen in trek. It was good to see Archers shift from an optimistic captain excited to explore and see what's out there, to be a more seasoned captain, well aware of the dangers out there and being a lot more cautious and realistic. Thats character development imo. I have no interest in this animated series, both the storyline and format don't appeal to me at all. Theres a huge fan base out there, just sitting there dormant, waiting for a good series to come and wake them up. It's not much of a risk for CBS if its done right, they should just jump in with both feet and make a quality live action show centered in the early 25th century (at the latest), and bring back the elements of trek that have appealed to so many. LIkable characters, quality story, awesome technology. But i agree, a new ship thats not the Enterprise (or voyager) is needed.

I would like to see more refined computer graphics sequences. I would like to see the dark side of the federation when it ends up with its back against the ropes.

A new live action series please, boldly going on not stumbling backward into ineptness. A far future Trek would be better ..how about using the temporal police era, Star fleet using their technology could open new frontiers and ideas We could see what all the other older series settings would evolve into and the interactions between future races. Time to step up ST or fade away into cartoon. Animated Trek no ta .. keep that for childrens TV only …. A new live action series please, boldly going on not stumbling backward into ineptness.

If you're going to commit to something do it right. If you wish to set it in the more distant future when the Federation is falling apart, that's Ok. Just make it far enough in the future where you don't have any of the old characters in it. Start new and fresh and refer back to the hero's of the past. Have the Enterprise destroyed in a blaze of glory saving the Federation of complete destruction. Then start rebuilding a fresh and new series of characters and don't focus on one ship or group of Hero's. Call it "Starfleet Command". Have four or five main characters at "Starfleet Command" and four or five hero's that are in different commands and have well known actors or actress' guest star as there enemy of each episode and let us guess who they are. What ever you decide to just do it right... A new animated series, NO… If you're going to commit to something do it right.

It wasn't even close. Which tells me you know nothing about Star Trek. If you want to say it had good visuals or audio (which it did) then fine. There was so much that was wrong i don't have the time nor energy to list it, but i'm sure you can find them on the internet or actually go and what the original series. The topic at hand (realizing the OP is from 2006), would be a new series about the original series for the last two years, i.e. year 4 and 5 of their 5 year mission. Since only 3 years actually were done. After 2 years CBS would know if the series is viable and can extend their mission. Yes it needs to have a proper group of actors to play our beloved crew, but after the last movie it should be easy to out shine that crap. @ Scott

You can do something like Caprica did for BSG and have something earth or planet based, perhaps a type of CSI in space after all theres bound to be interstellar crime in the UFP and you might just need space cops to go to the many Federation world where they will experience new technologies cultures and civilizations during their investigations/chases, not to mention finally getting to see how society really looks like and works in practice with this whole no money thing, we got to see a bit of it during those few Voyager episodes based in the Sol system and Earth . Why not continue to fill in the blanks of the Federations past ?, Enterprise returns with admiral archer and some of the old crew at the begining of the earth romulan war, and they dont need to invent new titles it would simply be a 3 year set continuation creating seasons 5,6,7, or alternatively it could be told as 3 made for tv/dvd movies like Stargate did with SG1 . Why not go with made for tv/dvd miniseries of different eras of star trek with different stories, or for that matter why not a new trek series that tells 2 or 3 episode story arcs set in various eras and of different carachters or even civilizations, a bit like the outer limits so one story arc is about "cardinal" lol , then the next story arc is about "the rikers in space" if youve seen marina sirtis and jonathan frakes joking about it on an interview, basically following a few days of the Rikers new life on board the Titan, then another episode could be a timeline episode with the timeship, another one could be about the time the Borg invaded Guinans world or indeed pivotal moments that led to the creation of the borg or why not even the Dominion, an arc about a startrek loveboat in space flying around Saturns rings, basically each short story arc could be used to fill in the blanks and lose ends of various trek series and canon or simply show something new and curious stories whitin the universe. Anyway altho i ultimately liked the new star trek movie i now think with hindsight that it was sort of rushed or not well thought through, there are allegations regarding ship size but also for myself thinking that the giant lizard creature on the ice planet looked out of place ... . But sure id like to see another one but perhaps one where the timeline is repaired and everything reverts to the way they were supposed to be except with the new cast . Anyway i agree with alot of those who say that they simply miss having new trek on tv, i miss new trek on tv too and i hope they come up with something soon before BSG launches another rumoured spinoff or stargate and who knows what else for tv spinoffs ... given what seems to be a sci fi rich 2011/12 cinema season .
