Matt Damon as Captain Kirk; Adrien Brody as Spock; Gary Sinise as Scotty

You mean same timeline, different ship and crew?

"Whoa. Fascinating." - Keanu Spock [/non sequitur]

Earlier in the timeline? Like academy/ensign/lieutenant range? Kirk, Spock & Bones must have met and worked together before Kirk got Enterprise.

Exactly.

It's pretty much what they did with TNG, DS9 and Voyager.

No, Spock came with the ship, and McCoy was clearly much older.

An "acadamy" series that threw them into the same class would just be bizarre.

Oh, I always thought they found Spock on that planet where they came from. (see how well I know Star Trek), then took him aboard for some reason.

[Provost Harrison]

There is only one man who could possibly fill the role of Captain Kirk!

[GhengisFarb™]

I'll support Matt Damon as Cpt Kirk, but at some point in the movie he does have to say "Matt Damon."

That's a deal breaker.

edit: that question has probably already been answered.

Star Trek is silly. There I said it.

The best way to go is to just to have it on the Enterprise during it's 5 year mission. But obviously use different plots than TOS. It would be like Batman. It's a re-imagining of the concept.

But would the geeky Trekkies accept this? They are so into the Canon that they cry when something doesn't fit into the "timeline". I admit the timeline is kind of interesting. But they ****ed it up too many times. Visit the Star Trek Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton if you want to see the timeline. I'm sure you can find it online, but you can't find hookers online. Oh wait, yes you can. Well you don't really need to come to Las Vegas then.

The problem I had with Enterprise is it seemed more advanced than TOS. I knew this would be a problem. TOS was in the 60's and the equipment they used that is supposedly 23rd century has already been surpassed by 2007 technology. . With the exception of impulse engines, warp drives, and transporters. . But all those instruments that made the weird sounds. And I still remember the dial they had to measure distance. It roatated like those old clocks.

I say wipe the slate clean, completely. Completely erase the timeline and start fresh. Just like James Bond and Batman.

[FrostyBoy]

I agree. It is time for a refreshing new start.

But that would require unknowns.

ooh ooh, i've been there 3 times.

[Provost Harrison]

For hookers?

[b etor]

for national karate tournaments actually, but I went to the star trek thing at the Hilton.

Oh ffs. I'd rather they cover the Captain Pike era of the Enterprise if you go back to the TOS timeline for a series.

Exactly these paradoxa are what I love so much about TOS. In my teens I jumped the TNG train easily. Now, I can hardly watch most TNG episodes while TOS is still great.
