Lots of axes dropping at all the US networks. NBC has to kill off quite a bit in order to have Jay Leno on five nights per week for instance.

I can't believe that Heroes is coming back at NBC and that Fox still feels 24 does anything for them. Two shows I watch but wouldn't mind a bit to see go away.

The way the networks are moving right now, I think a future Star Trek show would most definitely have to be a syndicated affair as TNG was. But even then, I don't know how the budget could be kept low enough and production quality high enough to make it a worthwhile venture. Maybe the TV landscape will completely change in the next 5 years and it can be made to fit and make some sense.

Maybe if they replace some of the bridge crew with a SuperNanny, and a couple of fat bastards trying to lose 1000lbs between them. Oh, and a compliment duo whore/manwhore giving out roses. Maybe that can be a recurring villain's role.
