DiCaprio as teenage Anakin? Over my dead body, but the worst thing is, I actually see a resemblance between him and young Ani... Am I going crazy?
By the way, "The return" s*cks big time! I bought it after a positive review in a magazine. Well, you can tell I'm never gonna trust anyone over novels ever again. As for the (post-mortem) continuing aventures of our good captain, it seems Shatner is desperatly trying to get his character back to fame. Well Will, it ain't gonnna happen.
On a side note, does anyone know when the "Enterprises" book is coming out?

Is is all right I don't want to talk about DiCaprio?
I always liked the young Kirk, especially back in the 70's when I was a child and always wanted to be like him (rather than Spock). The older Kirk is okay too, if we forgive him his work for ST V and a few overly pathetic moments.
Nevertheless, I don't want to see Shatner again. Old Kirk is dead, maybe the young Kirk could be featured in some kind of "Flashback" episode, but the plot must be very original.

It won't work.
Kirk can't come back because they already killed him but he didn't actually die because he was in the nexus but then they killed him on Veridian 3. He can't come back.
Spock is gone too - so much so that Nimoy's doing adverts for Time Computers now.
Let them rest. They've given us great memories of Trek, but it's time to look to the future and what they're going to do about the next incarnation. I still think that after Voyager, they should have a break of about 2 or 3 years to create new and original storylines.

It is established that Spock and Scotty are in the right time to appear with the TNG crew. I could handle one of them being in a movie, or even both. It would be a great chance to use Sela again as well.

I think Spock should be in the next movie, too. Since it'll probably be the last one with the TNG crew, I'd say they should go out with a bang. Something like ST6. Give them one last chance to save the Federation and reshape the political landscape in the quadrant. Something with the Romulans and the Reunification plot would be great, and give the producers an opportunity to bring in Spock AND maybe use Sela as the villan. It'd be nice to see Denice in at least one movie. Of course, if you eliminate the Romulan threat, you'll need to bring in the Borg more often. Gotta have at least one classic villan left.

Yeah, but what can Q do, short of threaten all Humanity? Been there. Done that. Twice.

Back to the original subject, I'd love to see Kirk back in Trek X, XI, XII, or whatever. The problem is does anybody know anyone who can do it right? That's the main concern. It worked great with Spock in Star Trek III because of that last scene in II and they had a writers in Nimoy and Bennett. So with Trek's curent roster, who's left? That's the problem. There aren't any more Harve Bennett's or Nick Meyer's that can truly make it work.

The only way I could stand to see either Shatner or Nimoy in another Trek movie or series would be if they appeared in a cameo, a-la Alfred Hitchcock.
Perhaps in a scene in a turbolift where the main characters get on as Shatner or Nimoy get off?

Personally I think the movies really need someone like Nick Meyer (or hey, how about Nick Meyer himself). The next gen movies have not been particularly strong in the writing or directing departments. Don't get me wrong, I don't think Frakes is a bad director, I just believe that someone like Meyer could do a hell of a lot more with the weak scripts they've been churning out (or just write a better one- he did that fairly well too).
