In that respect, we were always willing to adjust to the realities of what existed the more years we became removed from TOS.

This is unfortunately one of the largest misconceptions about the wants and desires of the TOS folks. While I, personally, would love to see as many as possible *reprise* their roles, by no means do I want to see a *return to the '70's*. I have always looked at a possible continuation as one with a "next generation" feel to it. The original principals would still be there, if interested, and would be handing off to the next generation of warriors, etc.
The timeline would be continued (the "what happened to them" would be revealed) and, at the same time, new characters and adventures would be created. All would be well with the universe.
