Okay, that would screw continuity worse than the first two seasons of Enterprise.  Kirk and Spock did not go to the academy together.  They didn't even know each other till Kirk took command of the Enterprise.

in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,

I think that it, going to the novels, will probably mean that it won't happen as a TV series.  But I hear rumors of the other side too.  Maybe they think the Smallville phenomenon would work for Trek.  But I'm not so sure.

Star Trek is a little too well defined.  The Superman myth can be played with and its almost reasonable to expect multiple takes on the Superman mythos while Star Trek is supposed to have one continunity.

We could argue the alternate continuity explanation for why Enterprise deviates from established concepts from the other series to free up some room, as the possibility that it's actually the Mirror Universe timeline has been destroyed.

They should make "Vendetta" before the cast gets too old.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I dunno...I don't think we need another angst-ridden TV show with lots of "tehe!" moments. OTOH, I would be more likely to watch it than Enterprise. The general concept just sounds a little...hell, who am I kidding, it sounds really overdone and sappy. How many times have we seen the whole guy-stands-up-to-the-school-bully thing?

[Geek]Anyway, it was clearly established in the episode with the planet that turned dreams into reality that Kirk was bullied in the academy[/Geek]

Section 31 is a much better idea to work on for a film I would think

They need to let Manny Coto come up with a way to fix the Borg to what they were pre-Best of Both Worlds.... completely decentralized hive-mind creatures that simply can't be significantly hurt through conventional means. None of that Speaker to the Federation or Borg Queen crap.

How would you do that, though? State that there's multiple collectives? Or maybe through something like the episode "I, Borg"?

Sadly the best movie could never be made. "Federation" by the Reeves-Stevens duo is possibly the best trek novel ever, but it requires shots on the Ent-1701 during the 5-year mission.

They should make a series in the style of the original Trek (green women, lizard monsters, torn shirts) except with the ECH, Quark, and Q in place of Kirk, McCoy, and Spock.

The first episode: "Getting out of spacedock".

Edit: Oh, and Sisko (demoted to ensign) can be the navigation officer. :D
