During my hiatus from Solar Flare, I jump around to a few other places. One question that came up was, would you like to see James T. Kirk return for another movie. My answer was no. Even though I still prefer Star Trek to it's successors, I think their time is past. There are a lot of things they could conceiveably do with the cast members who are already in the right time frame, and I could even buy Sulu and his crew coming through time, but Kirk is dead, and bringing Spock back to life was, well one dead guy coming back is enough for me.

No, I would prefer Kirk stayed dead. Who I really want to see again in a movie is Spock. That "Reunification" people have been kicking around since First Contact actually sounds like a great picture. With the righ writers that could be a real classic.

No, thank you. I think that today's Star Trek actors permit us to know and understand more profoundly their characters. A good example of this is the character Quark played by Armin Shimerman.

Well, that's probably because nowadays we get to see their characters develop for seven years straight, rather than over three short years followed by a 10-year hiatus, then two hours every 2-3 years or so.
If anybody, it would have to be Spock. Kirk's dead, De is gone, and nobody else is really viable (Okay, Scotty's still around, but who'd focus a movie around Scotty??)

I am so sleepy at three in the afternoon, that I can't recall the name of the book at the moment. It's about the first voyage of the 1701-E. Captain Bateman, formerly of the Boseman, is in command, picard was sent on a mission to retrieve prisnors from Gul Madrid. The point to all this is that Bateman and Scotty are old friends, and Scotty is in the engin room of the E for this voyage. The book wasn't bad, but I didn't like the way Ms Carey portrayed Bateman. insert Ship of the Line /insert Diane Carey used to be one of my favorite Trek book writers, but I haven't liked the last two of hers that I read as much as the older ones.

My answer to having Kirk return would be the same answer I gave to the poll question asking whether Leonardo De Caprio should play Annakin Skywalker in the next Star Wars: NO NO NO, A THOUSAND TIMES NO.
Actually, I recall seeing a book in a local bookstore that brought Kirk back, as a clone or something. The story on the inside flap sounded a little goofy.
Although I wouldn't mind Spock or Scotty coming back, if even for a cameo. Perhaps Spock with a Romulan story would work well.

As well as I can recall is that Lucas said he could use Jake Lloyd, in his next movie because he is only going to be 13 and he needs a 20 year old person. So it is possible that Leonardo might be Anakin, but then I wouldn't watch Episode 2 and I would get really pissed, and well, it wouldn't be pretty .

Of course if these boards didn't have a self destruct system that activited randomly then I would be a senior member, but I doubt that will ever happen .

I read somewhere the other day, that DiCaprio turned the role down. All I've seen him in was Titanic, and I liked that, as far as I'm conserened, he could have played Anikin.
I remember you, White Star. But we've gone through a board or so since you've been gone. Have you been around at all since SFCR? Anyway, welcome back.
