There are so many really great TOS novels out there, all they would need to
do is start converting some of them into movies. I would STILL love to see
"The Great Starship Race" put on the screen.
And not just TOS, all 5 ST series' have really great books out there written
in their respective time lines. Even a couple of series about OTHER ships and
crews that can be used (Capt Calhoun comes to mind).
