Geek Alert!

The poster for Star Trek XI has been released. It is obvious now that the new movie will be sometime in the TOS timeline. I am overjoyed that there will be some new Star Trek material but I question the wisdom of doing prequels. Star Trek works best going forward, it should not be moving back.

The only way I think a TOS movie will work is if a complete reboot of the franchise is done. Start from scratch with a new Kirk, new Enterprise and new stories for the five year mission. It would go a long way to fixing the damage that Berman and Bragga did to Star Trek. Their legacy of writing endless time travel episodes was un-original and did nothing but drive viewers away.

Whatever they decide to do it has got my inner geek all excited.
