i agree that burton was one of the best actors on an trek series. so was patrick stewart but the writers seldom gave him anything meaty to work with. andrew robinson was also fantastic. so was the guy who played grand nagus zek. i think barclay could be the main character of a 3 season series along the lines of picard where some catastrophe approaches the federation and doctors manage to reactivate some the effects of the alien probe that made barclay a super genius. he then uses that alien database to guide a starship all over the galaxy in search of allies and technology to avert the crisis. but his access to the knowledge is hit and miss. sort of like the premise of the series chuck.
