It would be interesting, and if it happened I'd probably watch it, but I wouldn't hold out too much hope. I am curious what they'd do with it--perhaps show the early years of the Federation, the shaky politics, the relations with the other powers of the Quadrant, establishing cred, etc.

I've been rewatching this series on netflix and now I know why it's been ****ing crashing constantly. Oh well, the romulan war is worth it. Too bad the cute chick with a crush on phlox died.

I'd rather see a show that follows up on the DS9/TNG era tbh. Maybe set 20 years in the future (2390s) so that the original cast members can reprise their roles as older people. Admiral Riker, Captain Worf, First Minister Kira (or I suppose Representative to the Federation Council for Bajor Kira), Grand Nagus Rom, etc.

I think I've talked about this other places but what about a Gary Seven series? That way you can set it at any point in Trek with any characters, any timeline, etc. They could do a whole story arc based on some novel series about the Eugenics Wars and World War III and then five episodes later have a one off comedy sitcom episode with Chekhov's family followed by an Enterprise B story and then a DS9 reunion, all in the same series.
They could even get whoever would play Gary to fight Scott Bakula as himself for kind of stealing his idea from Quantum Leap (even though Gary Seven came first).

Captain Worf would be awesome. Question what was Worf's rank in Nemesis? It seems he demoted himself by going back to the Enterprise. He was like 1st or 2nd officer on DS9/Defiant.
He was commander of the Defiant when Sisko or Kira weren't there to assume command. I believe he became the Second Officer on Deep Space Nine after Jadzia's death.

He was actually shown to be in command on the Defiant in Sisko's absence when Jadzia and even Kira were there(Homefront/Paradise Lost). Although I think Kira and Worf swopped roles as the Defiant's first officer from time to time.
I think you're mixing up first officer and commander. The thing about naval ranks is that you can have a Lt. Commander like Worf being in command of the Defiant while Colonel Kira (I believe Colonel is equivalent to Captain or Commander) is there, because rank is not absolute where ships or stations are concerned. A similar thing happened in the Kira time travel episode, where a Cardassian Legate said that no one (himself included, despite his higher rank) could touch Kira's mom because Gul Dukat, the station commander and leader of the occupation (I always thought that was weird--shouldn't a Legate be in command of such a huge operation?) called dibs.
I don't remember ever seeing Kira giving commands to Worf on the Defiant after he was given command of the ship, though I could have a faulty memory. Every time Kira commanded the Defiant I believe Worf was absent.

It's not that bad. I think Voyager was the worst. I'd put Enterprise slightly below TOS, with TNG coming slightly behind DS9 for the best series.
There was however a precipitous drop in budget and effort midway in the first season, or at least that's how it seems to me. The first several episodes of Enterprise were all very bold and seemed almost cinematic, yet by the second season it has the feel of "Early DS9" or "filler TNG" episodes.
