You know, the Guardian of Forever is a real problem. Forget Talos, the Guardian planet should be the most heavily defended planet in the universe – its secret should be the at least worthy of the death penalty.

That aside, all canon created in the Roddenberry universe is wiped clean with this movie, unless at the end they go back and set the timeline right. But this seems unlikely and unnecessary for a brand new audience.

Enterprise is a whole new franchise which except for the Federation itself established no new practical canon which TOS era stories even need to adhere (to tell a story that doesn’t bore the bejesus out of the audience). That said, if Paramount wanted to, they could just as easily go back in time and negate all of it too. But seriously who wants to remember it anyway?

So for all practical purposes in this new Trek universe, the Guardian of Forever is no longer known and is no longer a problem. While this may not technically be a “re-boot”, the practical application of this movie to canon enables them to completely ignore 99% of established canon going forward. And frankly, that’s a good thing, cause there’s a lot of crap floating around the Trek universe.

If George Lucas can do it with Star Wars,, why can’t the guys behind Trek?

1/ I hope the Enterprise events are best left forgotten the best thing Manny Coto did when he took the reigns was dump the Temporal war in one cold smack down of a hit. Don’t get me wrong I started to like Enterprise and thought it had great potential it was just derailed by some sloppy writing the 4th season really started to pick the show up pitty it wasn’t given a 5th.

2/ I agree with Garen that the colours and styles of poses on the poster are to mimic the same style and poses of the actual movie poster (Picard = Kird, Spock = Spock & Data = … whoever is up there McCoy?

3/ As for Data I would think it most likely the events in the comic are taking place pre nemesis and is there anything wrong with that at all the movie does focus on time travel.

I would like to see the Guardian of Forever involved in the story it would be nice if the gateway was used to travel back in time would be kind of nice – Nero enters the planet and somehow uses the gateway to send his ship back, Spock in hot persuit is in the vicinity of the gateway when time changes and therefore is not affected and immediatly enters the gateway taking heavy fire from the now Romulan outpost there, he enters the past his ship heavily damaged he must seek help to defeat Nero and restore future events.

CGI sucks! I think it’s a cop out.

heh heh heh

Have to grouse about something…
