A 5 year old? The spellchecker is there for a reason. Grammatically, this is by far the worst article that I have ever read. The content was great, the spelling and grammar were not. Shame on the TrekMovie.com Staff. Who wrote this article? A 5 year old?

In the original construction of the series, Number One was the character from a race (or maybe subset of humans) who suppressed their emotions. The usual Trek lore holds that NBC executives told Star Trek's creators to dump the woman and "the guy with the ears" from the bridge crew; Roddenberry & Co. compromised by combining them into one character. Non-canon extra-super geeky Star Trek lore holds that Spock's emotional outbursts in "The Cage" may have been the result of his going through Pon Farr. The events of "The Menagerie" do set "The Cage" 14 years prior to the events of "Amok Time", right? #48 Katie,

This rumor was squelched by MSNBC stating that Cruise simply dropped by the set to say , "Hello!" to his friend J.J. Abrams. Everyone else took it out of context from there!

Otherwise, you're talking about a cameo---something Shatner does not want anyway...

Somehow it seems that have Mr. Cruise suddenly pop up on the screen would seem just as jarring. At least an appearance by Mr. Shatner would make more sense since he actually has a place in Star Trek while Mr. Cruise does not.
