Everybody dies [except maybe Riker, he stated he intends to live forever] Kirk IS dead. To bring him back to life would turn Trek into a total joke.

The exposition about how Kirk is alive post Generations could be very simple. I guess people in Hollywood aren't as creative as us wage slaves. Shatner and Nimoy doing a handoff to Damon, etc. would be a very important homage and could (in say, less than 10 minutes of movie time) resolve the massive "We didn't like Kirk's death" backlash. I personally liked Generations somewhat, but speaking as a big TNG fan, I didn't think Kirk's death did his character justice at all. Personally, in a 'series' of movies, I think it's better if the main characters are left alive indefinitely....you never know when you'll want / need to bring them back. Especially when the character & the actor have become a cultural icon. lol…I’d like to see a *tad* more exposition than # 40 — but not much more.

The books where great, Paramont shot down a movie idea for those books because they wnated STNG, to go solo. Name of the books where, The Ashes Of Eden, The Return, and Avenger. Bring Kirk back, hmm... I do not know, but I spend alot of time searching the web looking for news on Star Trek and Star Trek fan fiction sites. My favorite is Star Trek New Voyages. It is a non-profit group who have come along way. I hope J.J. Abrams checks it out. I miss the old show, but watch it on UPN, to see the new visual effects they have done. I don't expect Lenard Nimoy will return, after Paramont used the original cast images with out even so much as a letter to any of them. Lenard was to say it mildly, really ticked off enough to turn down jobs from Paramont, not that he need them. If we must have a prequal, how about Captian Pike, (Jeffery Hunter died in the 1960's- 1970's, not sure of the date), changing command of the Enterprise to Kirk? Captian Kirk could be telling his story to Captain Sulu, Admrial Checkov newly appointed head of Starfleet Comand. Lets not forget Captian Uhura, who is now in command of new subspace relaystaion. McCoy, and Scottys absence can be explaned away, sice both actors are deceased. Long winded I know. Nuff stuff said Greetings one and all,

Just ignore that wretched pile and all the other Next Generation movies. They just don't matter. The heck with tying it in with “Generations”.

Audiences flocked to see First Contact because of that fact. Of all the TNG movies, it made the most money, so why not learn from that?
