Well, according to this rumour on TrekToday.com, sources have it that none other than Scott Bakula is in negotiations for the role of Captain Jackson Archer: http://www.trektoday.com/news/190301_01.shtml
I for one wouldn't mind this one being true. I loved his last series, and Scott's done some nice work in some nice movies (though he hasn't had a hit with anything on the big screen, ever). Returning to regular television shouldn't be much of a Leap for him.

If this is true, I'm glad the series isn't the time-travel one like some rumors said

Jaysus, TT didn't even bother elaborating on what they meant by "sources say..." Are they trying to dodge skepticism, or what?
Anyway, set salt-shakers to "mmm-hmmm." Like the article says, official confirmation should be out soon on some things, like the premise and characters and possibly casting info.

I remember Scott Bakula from the mini-series Tom Clancy's NetForce. I thought it was all right. He would be an interesting captain. Different from what I was expecting from Series V but interesting.

People, people, we seem to have missed my Dean Stockwell hologram reference. Now let us all laugh heartily.

Lindsey Wagner's name was banted around as being considered for Capt. Janeway.
And Louis Gossett, jr., was supposedly in the run for the role of Ben Sisko.

BTW I liked TOS. Overacting, chezzy effects, you knew who was gonna get killed in every episode, and Kirk would screw anything with 2 legs (maybe even more) - something someone said at another board.
