The TNG era, outside of books, is done.

I'm totally okay with that. When I initially heard what Abrams was gonna do with Trek, I feared the worst. Now I feel it's the only way they should have gone with it.
Except that the new phasers look "meh."

I agree with the TNG era--all the characters have moved on--Picard's on the Enterprise, Riker has another ship with Troi (can't remember the name), Data's gone, Worf's an ambassador and Laforge probably has his own ship like he had in an alternate timeline of Voyager. This is what happens in the military--You serve with people for a time, then they get promoted or transferred and move on.

How about the Enterprise B or C? Plenty of opportunity there.

P.S. Couldn't agree with you more about the phasers. Didn't much care for the communicators either.

The "Prime" timeline isn't done, it's just gone prose-only --which is good, actually, because Trek works far better in prose than it ever has onscreen.

As for character updates:

Select to view spoiler:

Riker & Troi are on the Titan, as is Tuvok (who taught briefly at the Academy, then got tapped for a Starfleet Intelligence mission to Romulus that went pear-shaped --he was on the ground when Nemesis happened and ended up needing to be extracted after the dust settled).

Worf has returned to the Enterprise, rejoining Picard, Beverly, and Geordi.

Alexander has replaced his father as Federation Ambassador to Quo'nos.

Sisko has returned from the Wormhole and is enjoying an "open-ended leave" (i.e., retirement-with-benefits) on Bajor with his wife and infant daughter (and his son and daughter-in-law).

Bajor has joined the Federation, Captain Kira is in charge of DS9, Ro Laren is her security chief, Quark is still running his bar, "Chief" Nog is the station's chief engineer, and Julian is still the doctor. Vic Fontaine's lounge is still running 26/7.

Morn is still. . . Morn.

Ezri transferred to command-track and is now Captain of the Aventine

Rom & Leeta are on Ferenginar.

The O'Briens are on Cardassia, helping the reconstruction (Keiko got offered a job, and Miles left his teaching job).

Garak has become the Cardassian Ambassador to the Federation (he's living in Paris on Earth).

Odo is still in the Gamma Quadrant, and is now one of only two remaining Founders after the severing of the Great Link. He, Laas, and Weyoun are trying to hold the Dominion together on the brink of a civil war and/or at least one (as-yet-unrelated) religious crusade.

Janeway is dead (sacrificed herself to try to stop a Borg invasion). Chakotay has resigned his commission. Seven is now Annika, and is still on Earth. Harry is now Voyager's security chief, Tom is first officer under a new Captain. B'Elanna is in hiding with their daughter.

The Doctor is on the Galen as chief medical officer.

And that's not even counting all the characters who haven't even appeared onscreen (or who showed up for an episode or two and were then "forgotten").

EDIT because I forgot Odo.
