Actually, I think Darkhorse was more-or-less correct. Except, I myself like ST-IV more than he, I liked the light hearted humor.

ST humor was ruined *after* ST IV, now they just try too hard to add humor.

As for the next movie, as long as the movie makes more than it costs to produce, they'll make another in a few years. What cast? Well let's look at the facts:
- Paramount never really liked DS9.
- Voyager ended and Janeway is an admerial now anywyas.
- Enterprise is, so far, still in series production.
- A new crew would be a major gamble, I doubt Paramount would risk that very soon. (New writers would be a better choice!)

Anyhow, UNLESS Paramount changes the people running the ST franchise, I predict it'll be one of these possibilities (or very simular to):
- They will cook-up some reason for Riker and Troy to be on/near the Enterprise so everyone will be there like old times.
- Paramount will go cheap, Pickard and remaining crew without Riker and Troy. (no great loss)
- OR Riker and Troy under bid the contract and it's about them with a few of the old crew too. They'll cook-up some reason for Riker and wife to be near the Enterprise.
