No.Limberger responds:
I agree with your comments.  As a long-time fan of
Star Trek myself, I have loved TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager
and the 4tth season of Enterprise.  (I didn't much
care for the first 3 seasons of Enterprise).  I also loved
half of the movies: II, IV, VI, VII, VIII.  To this, I am adding
the newest movie.

Star Trek, I would agree, definitely needed a reboot.  It
needs to draw in new fans and explore new stories in order
for the franchise to continue.  I believe that there will be
more Star Trek movies in the future, but don't know whether
this will include a new TV series.  We'll just have to wait
and see what the future holds.
