Yeah, but what? They announced Trek XI awhile ago, but we should've had a teaser by now, right? What happened?

I think that it'll be a LONG TIME before they try a new series. Seriously long time. I wonder if it'll be another Enterprise series. Here are some ideas off the top of my head:

Another 23rd century show. Another Constitution-class ship. We could do Kirk et al voiceovers as cameos. Revisit some of the old TOS planets. What happened to the gangsters from A Piece of the Action? What about the researchers studying the Guardian of Forever? What's the Gorn culture like? Did they ever discover more Preserver technology, or the reason why so many planets are "just like Earth?"

A Federation colony in the Gamma Quadrant. There's another Founder in residence, maybe a Jem'Hadar officer. The best of both worlds, really. New species, new empires, and all that, but you can still call back home via DS9 for help. Do DS9 cameos, maybe have Nog be a senior officer now.

Now that the Borg have been destroyed, the Federation has sent another starship to the Delta Quadrant. The transwarp conduits are in tatters, but thanks to the technology Voyager found, we can create a sort of transwarp jump gate. A catapult, if you will. Sort of an artificial wormhole, but due to the power source and subspace characteristics of the region, you can only "jump" at certain times. Like the unstable timer on Sliders, it might be five minutes until the next opening or two days. We've admitted many Voyager races as new Federation members. The Talaxians, the Ocampa, and so forth. A new menace has united the Kazon, the Malon, and so forth. Perhaps a race that the Borg rejected for assimilation and now they actually WANT to be Borg, want to be "better" through cybernetics. Too bad the Collective is basically destroyed. These guys are tracking down former drones and dissecting them one by one, looking for the key. The Kazon and Malon have no idea about this, for the Baddies have fed them a line of bull about taking over the Federation for their own purposes. Now our intrepid Starfleet crew is trying to spread the Federation in the Delta Quadrant, making new friends, perfecting the catapult technology so that any ship can hurl itself between quadrants, all while fighting the Baddies.

A small group of Starfleet cadets have proven themselves worthy to be given "extra-curricular" tasks. Send them to Vulcan to help uncover some ancient ruins from before the Romulans split off. A Klingon ship has gotten lost in a nebula; we need to find them. Starfleet has discovered a planet where no one ever matures beyond the early twenties and won't trust "fogies."
