[QUOTE="drothgery, post: 3671880, member: 360"] I haven't heard anyone even suggesting that this movie is a 'Trek reboot'; it's in the same continuity, it's just the lead characters are a somewhat younger-than-TOS Kirk and Spock (who, for obvious reasons, can't be played by Nimoy and Shaetner). Now, I think it'd be halfway decent idea to have no Trek for five or ten years and then actually do a reboot to knock out some of the sillier premises. So... - anything that's supposed to be able to breed with humans should be decended from the Preservers, have red blood, and have internal organs set up pretty much like humans - there should be money in the 24th century - there should be a galactic map with a reference table for travel times at various warp factors rather than all travel being at the speed of plot - the immediate future should be a 'dead zone' as far as the story is concerned (no time travel between any point after the first episode airs and 2150 or so and no major, universe-changing events happen in that time either), so that real life doesn't trample all over your future history in twenty years - there should not be impossible tech other than warp drive and transporters, and no psi other than limitted telepathy - Starfleet may do a lot of other things, but nobody tries to deny that it's the Federation's military ... but that's not what they're doing.
