How about something new? If they want to do a new Trek do one but how about setting it in the future or in an era not really covered already. Why do we need another Kirk or Spock story?If they are going to go into the past how about covering the Romulan War that could be an awesome movie on the big screen.Or if they want a dark and gritty Trek how about a movie set in the Mirror universe. As a Trek fan from the time it first showed on NBC when I was six I will not go see a movie or watch a new Trek if they take it and make it dark and gritty ala  Battlestar Galatica (unless it is set in mirror universe or Romulan War) One of the things that always attracted me to the Trek universe was the message of hope. That we do evolve as a species.I also have to wonder how many of these restarts and remakes have been that succesful? Lost In Space sucked, Starksy and Hutch awful, Bewitched stank, BSG dying in the ratings though it had a great start.The only two I can think of are the Batman and Bond movies but both of those have always had different actors playing the rolls.I know people compare Kirk to say Sherlock Holmes or James Bond and say how many other actors have played those rolls and it was fine. I guess my problem with that is simply that those characters originated in fiction the personality coming from the author. Where as the personality and mannerism of Kirk and Spock had a lot to do with the actors who created the rolls. As far as I am concerned William Shatner is James T Kirk.The Trek universe is huge I can't believe that it is impossibe to come up with a new part of it to explore and if they can't then maybe it is time to just let it go.</blockquote>
