The stuttering, bald old lunatic wacko in this video wants Paramount to give him the role of Captain Picard in a TNG reboot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dm5Oe4x5Y-U
This is meant to be a JOKE video BTW. I'm against rebooting TNG (an all these Hollywood reboots in general), this is just a silly stupid video to laugh at.
I wonder what Patrick Stewart would think of this guy hahaha lol
shareI thoroughly enjoyed the TOS reboot and wish we would get another Star Trek movie. I highly doubt that we will.
With that said hit me up in another 10 years around the 60th anniversary and I think I would probably be game for a TNG reboot.
Honestly though a TV TNG reboot may be a better choice.

I would go that route and make it a one-spot made-for-TV film so it doesn't step on the toes of whatever Trek is doing on the big screen at the time. Plus a TV movie or a miniseries is something Trek has never done before.
I'd following the basic premise of the Abrams timeline divergence and try to imagine how differently the TNG universe would look from the prime timeline we're familiar with. 130 years after Nero's attack on the Kelvin should result in some massive changes. Since Vulcans weren't a big part of TNG in the prime timeline either, it wouldn't be that hard to reimagine it without Vulcan.
Following the example of the 2009 film, this TV event would simply be titled "STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION", with the same type font as the classic TNG TV series from the late 80s/early 90s.
All the original characters from TNG would be shown (I'd cast new actors that are age-appropriate for the first season era of TNG), but their lives would be VASTLY different from what happened to them in the prime timeline, as would the ships in this time period and what's going on with UFP. For example, I'd make Picard an archeologist for the United Federation of Planets in the Abrams universe. He never joined Starfleet nor became a captain, although he will certainly interact with numerous Starfleet personnel in the story. The Klingon Empire would be FULLY integrated into the UFP and we'd even see some weird looking hybrid Klingon/Federation vessels. Wesley Crusher would be a girl named "Leslie Crusher", and Jack Crusher would still be alive and well.
I'd probably END the story with ALL the main TNG characters (Picard, Riker, Data, Troi, Crusher, Geordi, Worf, Tasha Yar AND Guinan) on screen together for the FIRST time, just to keep the audience in suspense until the very end.
Not bad. Definitely different.
I just hope ST: Discovery doesn't bomb and keep us from seeing anything Star Trek until the 75th anniversary!
