Of course it will make it to seven years. Doesn't matter if the show sucks or not, they will continue to make it, unless someone has the heart to cancel it, should it be bad.

Robo - I think you've covered why I have my doubts, eh? Too bad they won't get a different creative team in there.

I'm gonna go with the great great great great (insert appropriate number of greats here) grandmother of Captain Janeway will put in an appearance in the first episode, and be played be.... Kate Mulgrew. If you look at all of the opening episodes of all of the series since the original, a cast member from one of the other series has made an appearance on the first episode of the new series.

Yeah, if they do that I'll know fer sher Elektra was right ;)

while i am a trek addict and will watch the new series with enthusiasm, i think i would have rather seen something much different from the norm (i.e. ds9). how about star trek: section 31 (for those of you who don't know section 31 was a secret federation agency that "didn't exist" and that did all the bad things that the federation is against (kinda like the cia or nsa))? or maybe feature a different species this time, star trek: klingon (i like gratuitous violence). i'm just a little worried that we'll see a rehash of tos storylines. plus its just going to create an ungodly amount of discrepencies in the timeline.
