I'm told the plot involves Kirk, Spock, and McCoy as students at Starfleet Academy. Sounds like an interesting idea, but I'm concerned that this might turn into Star Trek 90210.

No wonder star trek is dying. All this prequel stuff is ruining it.

I've heard the actor they are getting to play McCoy is to be older than the original actor was at the start of the 1st Star Trek series :smile:

So what? Does anyone really care about the age of the actor? It's just a movie, folks.

No, it's a Star Trek movie. We have to live with this for the next fifty years.

Yeah, I agree. I admit that Enterprise was interesting for a while, largely because we got to find out what happened back on Earth a couple generations after the events in First Contact. But really, they should have stuck with what worked, and did a movie about DS9, or at least something set in the 24th century.
