TOS cast members were making ST movies into their sixties, so I wouldn't mind another adventure with Picard and Co. They could probably work the same CG magic on Spiner that they did with Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan in X3 for their younger days, although doing that throughout a whole film for one character might be prohibitively expensive.
Also, fuck Berman and what he's done to Gene Roddenberry's vision.

They are also getting too old IMO. The last episode of TNG made a point of showing that Data does not age, yet Brent Spiner continues to develop wrinkles, etc - although that's a moot point because they killed Data in Nemesis.

I agree with Jay here. They put the Data/B4 thing in as a loophole for bringing Data back, just as they did the Spock/McCoy mind-meld as a loophole if/when Leonard Nimoy agreed to come back for III. TNG cast isn't too old yet. Data is a special problem, but might be able to be dealt with, either from makeup/cg or maybe a plot device.
Besides the difficulty of getting the cast of TNG back for another film, I'm kinda worried that they seem to be out of new stories for them. Insurrection was terrible, and Nemesis was a rewrite of Wrath of Khan.
