I doubt it will ever die, it seems to be constantly on a lot of my TV channels.... seriously though, I hear they are about to begin work on a new film based on the very early adventires of Kirk, Spock and the rest of the gang; with younger actors playing the cast.

Difficult question. I think over here in the UK, yes it probably is (it really is regarded with derision over here, and now Doctor Who is popular again Trek will lose the loyalty of youngsters who would grow into the Trekkies of tomorrow). However Trek is still popular in the good old USA and is really accepted as a part of Americana and American pop culture. Because of this I think it is unlikely to die out completely. A lot will hinge on the popularity of the next Trek film - Trek XI in 2008. It looks like it's going to be a prequel with Kirk and Spock (young actors, obviously - Matt Damon has expressed an interest in playing Kirk)- there will probably be an attempt to make it 'cooler' and 'hard edged' in the way that Batman, Battlestar Galactica and James Bond have been re-visualised. Whether this will mean more violence and action and less of what made Trek special (optimistic Roddenberryesque ideals) we shall see. It will no doubt be a reboot, though. I think Trek XI is Trek's last chance - if it fails Trek will not be on TV for a long time, if ever. I think TV movies or straight to video (DVD) could be an option (to cater for hardcore Trekkies like me). The highpoint of the NextGen days are long gone, though, whatever happens. Sadly we are unlikely to see any more series set in the time of TNG, DS9 and VOY, which is a shame for those of us who enjoyed those eras and were disappointed with Enterprise.

As long as the Shat still lives and does his Priceline commercials, no. Star Trek is alive!

From the last documentry that with reference to star terk , yesh they have stopped airing it due to puny viewership. and the last one was enterprise. I must say that star trek could be interested if it wasnt becuz of light sabers in star wars.

Not a chance - for one thing there is too much money to be made. It can come back, but it does need a rest for a while.
