If history were to repeat itself.... TNG "Phase II" would start to have some pre-production work on it, never get off the ground, have some movies made using inspiration from the Phase II scripts, the movies become popular, a new series (The Next Next Generation?) is introduced that ends up using some Phase II plot elements & scripts, occasionally a nod is given to pay homage to the original TNG, and the fans start dividing amongst those who like the TNNG versus those who like the 'classic' TNG with a big argument being who is the better captain.
