"Yesterday I was trying to explain to Katie the furor that erupted back when DC replaced Green Lantern Hal Jordan with Kyle Rayner. I came up with this analogy:
Imagine that a new Star Trek series begins with Captain Picard going insane, killing off the entire crew of the Enterprise, and destroying all of Starfleet except for one ship. That one ship gets handed to someone similar to Wesley Crusher, but who has never appeared before."

Hell, your idea is better than any of the Star Trek movie plots in the last couple years.
It's not implausible for the Borg hardware to take control of Picard again. It would be one way of getting rid of the story line limitations caused by the Federation's law and order attitude towards the Prime Directive and the Temporal Directive.
For me, Trek has slowly gotten stale since the end the Next Gen series, I don't think the old Green Lantern series ever got as stale as Trek. There have only been a few stories that have really measured up in the last couple years including the series finale episodes of DS9 and Voyager, "Bride of Chaotica", and the movie "First Contact". If they can't do any better than "Star Trek Insurrection", let Picard go nuts, or kill the franchise.
Sci-Fi as a genre is not as strong as it once was. We now have half the gadgets from the old stories in real life. It may be why Super-hero movies have become more common in the last decade than space operas.

I see the modern technologies we have as the main reason we're seeing less actual Sci-Fi on the Sci Fi Channel and more horror and fantasy. When Science fiction becomes Science Fact, all that's left is fantasy and horror.
