You've probably seen bits and pieces of the failed attempt to save Enterprise. Despite it being the retarded step-child of the 'Trek family, it still has its fans. Heck, I'm still watching it (this says nothing about it's quality - I will watch practically any sci-fi series). While watching this weeks episode, I've finally figured out what they should have done. The major inspiration for this being the episode "In A Mirror, Darkly" (don't worry, this will be spoiler-limited), which is a semi-continuation of an Original series episode based in a mirror-Trek universe. In short, everyone's bad. And it's great. *This* is what they should have done. Sod the existing plotlines, give me a series or 7 of the mirror universe. Points in its favour:

1) Far better start sequence. The tune still isn't brilliant, but it's way better than the normal Enterprise one.
2) More explosions, more battles. They're the bad guys, so the general feel is "shoot first, shoot second, then make sure they're dead".
3) Women. None of this Orion slave girl crap, no hinted-possible-vaguely-defined-relationships. The women on this crew are having some fun here, and getting to be equally as evil as the male characters to boot.
4) No prime directive-lite morality. Series where the characters are often pretty much only out for number one are fun (ref: Farscape, Firefly).

I could keep going, but you get the drift.
