[QUOTE]Originally posted by HerbShrump: [QB] That's because with the primary colors / stereotypes we know will happen in the movie it isn't Star Trek unless Kirk is in command The ship is the Enterprise Kirk and Co. save the day Anything else and the non-fans will go "Whut?" Which is complete nonsense but hey, that's how life works. I've been toying with an idea for the movie script. My idea was to come up with a script and then try to pass it off as the real thing. You know, like an April Fool's joke. I've been trying to insert the elements I've heard in spoilers (forgot the Kobyashi Maru). We know that the Enterprise will be in it and we know that the main characters will be Kirk, Spock, McCoy and the rest. The only way to get those to work is to do like you said above and have Kirk take command when Pike is injured (or, in my idea, captured/stranded away from the bridge during the crisis). This is why I called this whole prequel idea a reboot. The more you stray away from canon with another canon project (it's a movie, it's canon) then the only other option is a reboot. Of course, like you said, nothing is stated that Kirk and the rest did not serve on the Enterprise during their training just like Savvik and the cadets in TWOK. It just strains credibility in the area of coincidence. My biggest puzzle is getting Chekov into the situation. He was an ensin in TOS when Uhura and Sulu wer Lts. Obviously they weren't in the same graduating class at the Academy. Odds are they didn't even attend the Academy at the same time (or Chekov was a 1st year student when they graduated). Let alone that Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Scotty are so much older that they should be well past their Academy days when the rest are there. [/QB][/QUOTE]
