"Voyager" only gave us little glimpses every now and then, alluding to fallout from the war that took up most of the last two seasons of "Deep Space Nine," and "Enterprise" was over 200 years earlier...and the movies we've gotten since "DS9" ended have understandably had to stay away from that because you can't spend a third of a two-hour movie catching people up on two years' worth of backstory from a related TV series. "DS9" ended in 1999, which corresponds to the year 2376 (based on "Next Gen" giving the year as 2364 in its first season). If they kept counting the years in real time, 2008 would correspond to 2385. I'd imagine a lot could happen in that nine-year period, perhaps even the Vulcan-Romulan reunification. Or we could get "Starfleet Academy" with a couple of CW-Network teen-soap stars as Kirk and Spock...

I share these concerns, and I also think it would be best for Paramount to do nothing with the franchise for a few years, so when they resume using it the nostalgia factor is on their side, and the audience has forgotten what they didn't like before. -Andy Holman Well said.
