I am really unhappy about this. Although I grew up with TOS, and I did like ENT, I cannot understand why this is a good idea. I would really much rather see a movie set around VOY, DS9 or even a mixed cast. They have so much talent just laying around, characters we know, but could still see in a different. That’s what I want to see, let’s not go to the past, move forward.

Prequals suck.. Everyone who is in control of Star Trek sucks, and there the onloy ones who don’t think Prequals suck.

It amazes me that they’re gonna do this. Put the last nail in the coffin why don’t you. This movie will tank, and they’ll blame Star Trek..

STOP making prequals, make a ST:TNG with Q with a warning that the entire galaxies gonna die from some dark evil old enemy.. I’d watch that..

Idiots.

Bill and Leonard are not up to doing another Trek movie. Let's at least be realistic people. They're both 75 years old, and though Shatner may still ride horses competitively, Nimoy seems a bit sedentary, verging on brittle lately. You could never get insurance for a movie with those two in it. What is really called for here is actors like Scott Bakula (Archer), Jolene Blalock (T'Pol), Connor Trinneer (Trip), Dominic Keating (Reed), Anthony Montgomery (Mayweather), Linda Parks (Hoshi), John Billingsley (Dr. Phlox), and let the un-old, un-ancient, actually YOUNG crew take a shot at the helm. That series was damned good, and what TOS would have been, if shot with current technology.

A Captain Sulu movie (set on the Excelcior – sp) sounds good to me. Frankly, the Excelscior set from Star Trek VI is one of my favorite bridge sets from any series, second only to the bridge of the Arcadia from the Captain Harlock series, and the bridge of the Enterprise-A from ST-VI.

I remember a parody of Star Trek movies (on the Simpsons) with progressivly higher roman numerals it was something like “Star Trek, so very old”…then it has the original cast as a bunch of geezers. Maybe this is what they’ll do?

How about the Captain Sulu spinoff that’s been talked about?

I’m about to commit sacrilege here, but just because Joss Whedon had a good idea for thirteen episodes (Firefly) doesn’t mean he can do wonders for Trek. As Karen said, Whedon’s got his own particular style and it wouldn’t fit too well in the human near-utopia Roddenberry intended.

Now, taking a more character-oriented BSG angle might work, especially seeing now that the UFP is decidedly conservative in its values (no augmentation, no cybernetization, etc.). A reboot might work–what that fan production group has come up with is pretty amazing–but the most important thing is that it not be 90 minutes of special effects (re: Star Wars) because, as we’ll probably agree, it’s not the point.

If it’s to be about young Kirk & Spock, have William Shatner and Leonard Nemoy portray them throughout the film, but then take every image of them from the first series (late 60s,) and place these images in a computer as a source. Then, over a moving grid on the current Shatner and Nemoy graft the earlier images of them over the current actors. (As they did to create the character Golem in Lord of the Rings.)

Let’s let Joss continue to give us his own wonderful visions, instead of making him run in Roddenberry’s harness.

Maybe they’ll hire Joss Whedon to do the screenplay.

Heck, let’s petition to make it happen!

Maybe they’ll actually hire writers for a change and come up with a decent plot, instead of having 90 minutes of special effects and not much else.

Maybe they will do something original, like making a movie, set on Enterprise, but with a bunch of new characters.
