Star Trek Titan? Any takers?

Over at Scifisquad.com, there is an article that talks about a comment Jonathan Frakes (Commander Riker) made the other day when a fan asked about a new Star Trek series. The comment was about an idea Frakes had awhile back for a series following his characters exploits after the final Next Generation movie, where he takes command of the USS Titan. He would be joined by Counselor Troi (Miranda Sirtis) and a new crew in a timeline just ahead of TNG universe.

The problem with this idea is it seems kind of pointless as the timeline as we know it has disappeared with the latest reboot, but little things like that can't stop Star Trek. But, would anyone watch a new Trek series? Enterprise tanked because no one watched it, and both Voyager and DS-9 both had extremely poor ratings at the end of the show, so, have those things changed?

Would you watch a new Trek? And, if so, what would you like to see, a move into the future, a similar timeline, or the alternate timeline setup by 2009's reboot?

For me, I would love to see a new Trek series, but it would have to be done with care. I would like to see the alternate timeline back for TNG times. So, there could be an Enterprise (or not) and there may or may not be a Jean Luc Picard in the timeline at all. Give it a complete reboot, and find some good writers!
