Sounds okay to me...
By AX

I was never against the reimagining idea like some people, but I've never seen any reason for it either. There's nothing wrong with the universe we have. Huge movies like LoTR and Star Wars have proven that a complex history and mythology can be a great asset for a movie. It seems silly to get rid of one of Trek's assets.

The franchises problems rest not in the universe, but in the writing. Good writing set in a reimagined Star Trek universe will still be good writing, but good writing set against a complex backdrop makes suspension of disbelief easier. Obviously the writers could CREATE a new backdrop based on our current universe, but there's something about a universe created through five TV shows that feels more organic I think.

The disadvantage is what I like to call the Enterprise Season Four problem. Most of us agree that season four was the best season of Enterprise, but it had one major flaw that I think (as though I know anything) made sure those falling ratings continued to fall which is that it packed every episode with throw backs and references to the other shows. Obviously having something in the background is cool, but when it feels like the show is breaking the fourth wall (you know, they mention some inane piece of triva and you can almost feel the writers winking at you).

We need this movie to not be a triva movie, but that is very possible in the current universe--IMHO.
