   There are so many really great TOS novels out there, all they would need to   
   do is start converting some of them into movies. I would STILL love to see   
   "The Great Starship Race" put on the screen.    
      
   And not just TOS, all 5 ST series' have really great books out there written   
   in their respective time lines. Even a couple of series about OTHER ships and   
   crews that can be used (Capt Calhoun comes to mind).
