Which comes back to my point.  I don't want to see a
new Star Trek hew close to what Roddenberry proposed
to NBC in the 60's, what NBC thought they were getting
when they green-lighted the series in the 60's *or* what
Roddenberry delivered in the 80's and beyond when he
finally had the freedom to do pretty much what he wanted.
TOS as we know it was none of these things.
