True, only so many things can happen in space...and with 100s of episodes written its hard to be new/creative, especially for 7 seasons of 26 episodes each.
Perhaps a George R.R. Martin approach is needed. Stop us all believing that the main crew can never be killed.

I think in the current timeline of at least TNG, I mean, it would be pretty easy to come up with concepts for episodes imagine it. From startrek enterprise (the most recent 4 season series) we found out that there was/is a military that earth has, could include that in an episode. Could have ships being built, problems with w/e with the ships, some, very very little politics, More Q episodes, perhaps a species that is on similar or higher level than Q but with corporeal forms that use technology to get into the same incorporeal state as the Q. Shit man, just get a bunch of startrek nerds high and fill a notebook.
You could bring into the mix super weapons that all the species have banned from being built, large incursions. Just these badass space battles where the federation is winning until earth either gets destroyed completely by cloaked ships/super weapon, or earth just gets a good hit that devestates the population, the scenery of seeing the crown jewel of the human race with these new buildings would be insane just to see the destruction. You could bump ahead (can't recall how far ahead in time it was, i think 2800-3000) there was an episode in Archer's enterprise that had that one time travelling dude talking/teleported archer into the future to see a space battle going on. New ship designs.
