WI Gene and co. went ahead with Star Trek phase 2, and a new series of Star Trek, with many of the original enterprise crew, arrives on america's TV screens in the 70s. This, one might say, was the peak of the public's hunger for trek. While they wouldnt get Nimoy, at least initially, would the show have been successful? Would the star trek feature films still happen? How good would the show be? The scripts ive looked through looked decent enough. Would TNG still happen? How would this change the franchise as a whole?

In my mind, it would make the original series less of a tv martyr. Yes, it was brilliant, and yes, it was cancelled in 1969--but in this case, like the proverbial phoenix, it rose again. Perhaps the original series would be seen as less brilliant and groundbreaking, if it had a followup?
