A lot of people are chanting for a new Star Trek from Netflix. My question is: Why?

Now before I begin, I'd like to make myself clear: I love the concept of bringing back Star Trek. I love the world, I love the messages, I love the concept, and I feel like it has a lot of potential to be reborn.

But I'm also quite firmly of the belief that stories that don't need to be told shouldn't be told. Making a show or a film or a book simply because the fans want it or because you'd like to make money is never a good idea and rarely produces anything as good as the concept that spawned it.

So my question comes in three parts:

• Why does Star Trek need to come back, as opposed to a brand new show with similar messages and greater freedom?

• Why Netflix? Is something gained by it's loose no-commercial whole-season-at-once format? (Bear in mind that this would require all the ads to be placed in the show, a la "House of Card"s infamous PlayStation, Starbucks, and Apple pimping).

• Why does Star Trek need to come back now? What makes now the best time for a Trek return? What important message needs to be sent to this generation specifically?

And to hone in on some of the more specific proposals...

• Why Enterprise? What's gained by restarting a show after so many years? What's gained from the gap, and why ENT and not any of the other shows?

• Why Sector 31/Civilian Life/the Stargazer/Renegades? Why do these specific characters need to come back? What's gained from telling this story?

Overall I'm from the opinion of writing straight from the heart, and trying to force Star Trek is like trying to force a horse to drink the water you've led it to.

I want Star Trek, but above all else I want a show that's written not because they're fans and want to continue someone else's work, but because they have their own story to tell that they feel passionate about.

Thoughts? Personal responses?
