>Takei had advocated it for a long time, but not enough people behind the scenes backed it so it never went any further.
I remember Takei saying there was plans for him to become Captain of the Excelsior back on Star Trek 4, and he blames Shatner for being completely opposed to it and having the power to make it not happen.
I guess once Shatner got btfo over what he did on ST5 he was ok with Takei finally being captain in ST6. The ending of ST6 with the ships being next to each other and Shatner's farwell monologue at the end could be seen as a set up for a Captain Sulu TV show to keep TOS fans happy, and I do remember fans asking for it, but I think Paramount felt the baton had been passed to the TNG era and was confident to go all in on DS9.
