[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] How much can they screw things up? We're talking about a time period roughly one-hundred years after ENT. What's to scrap? Klingons would be fine. Cardassians would be fine. Romulans would [i]not[/i] be, but I don't think we have to worry about that after NEM. The decade immediately preceeding TOS is, just as the 2150s were, one that we know very little about, continuity-wise. The fact that we're going to focus on KIRK and SPOCK, already well-established characters from [i]Trek[/i]'s heyday, represents from the get-go a solid anchor in the extant franchise. I see this as a positive thing. Will there be a lot of ENT Season Four-style fanwankery? Almost definitely not. Will there be some minor retconning? Quite possibly, just as there has been on every single new [i]Trek[/i] project in the past. This is not an inherently negative thing. I don't understand how people can be so pessimistic so early in the process. What do we even know yet? Really, only that it will feature young Kirk and Spock having their first meeting and space mission together and that all new people will be behind its production. I guess I'm in the minority, but to me it sounds as if we're starting off on the right foot. -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [b]P.S.[/b] For the record, I thoroughly enjoyed ENT Season Four and its fanwankery. Continuity porn for its own sake, however, is [i]not[/i] the way to make a successful film or to reinvigorate the public's interest in [i]Trek[/i]. The basic premise of this film seems to be a compromise that holds much potential. Fans who are already familiar with the franchise will have plenty to interest them, and those who aren't will find an ideal point of entry. -[b]M[/b] [/QB][/QUOTE]
