Hmm.. thanks, #42, for the reminder about Yesteryear. Puts an interesting spin into all this.

#45… don’t forget the “every apparent canon violation will have a canon explanation” comment.

I’m willing to give the Trek Supreme Court (AbramOrciKurtzLind) the benefit of the doubt from now until June 2009. Then let’s make that judgment, k?

His voice sounds a little deeper, more like Spock now.

#45- If they have to blow away the existing Trekverse, then Star Trek *is* dead, and they might as well just fold the tents now and save a whole lot of advertising money.

I don’t believe they have to do that, the sheer volume of fresh new storytelling *in* the existing Trekverse that’s coming from the licensees on a regular basis shows they don’t have to do that, and while there’s reason to believe TPTB don’t believe they have to do it, either, it would be nice for them to just explicitly say so and have done with it.

Right about now I’m thinking: Goodbye Pork Pie Hat.

Will Quinto’s cool hat be in the movie?

It’s canon and not canon. The story is, our Spock talks to younger Spock from a different fork in the time line. I haven’t read a script but this has to be the way the story line folds out. It lets us preserve the 700 hours of Trek we know and lets us start a new vision of Trek at the same time. Of course it’s time travel, basically but a good twist on time travel. It’s like Back to the Future time lines, without crazy Doc Brown as a Klingon this time.

Quinto’s comment is sort’ve unsettling.

I would like to hear what Bob Orci has to say about this.

Hardcore fans can’t support Star Trek. If they could, there would still be movies. Ratings for the show were dropping, and the movies were underperforming. There simply weren’t enough hardcore fans.

So I say throw away “canon”, it’s a ridiculous and nonexistent idea anyway. Give me a reboot that completely blows the cobwebs off a tired old franchise. Revive this corpse and give it new life. Forget the petty details that some people insist they adhere to and adhere instead to the spirit and characters of Star Trek.

Star Trek dogma is dead. Long live Star Trek!
