Bring back Enterprise I say.  The other series got too comfortable in the 
Trekkieverse whereas all those things the writers of the later series 
depended on hadn't happened yet and the crew were free to interfere with 
other races and make all the cock-ups you might expect.  I think it made for 
much better storylines.
