So Who Else

Alright, so who else is boycotting Star Trek XI if they stay on the course they are. I don't know about you guys, but if they let this disaster appear on screen no matter their reasoning, I hope that Gene Roddenberry comes out of his grave and burns the production crew (from space no less). Lets face facts, and the reason that enterprise really failed, beyond all other reasons. That reason? Star trek fans are the guys looking for inspiration and new technology. Why did we watch Star Trek the next generation? because we wanted to see new tech. Why did we watch voyager? because it provided interesting alternatives to the future. And then we are given enterprise, a cannocal disaster, a prequel (because Lucas did it >_> ) and in addition to that an insult to anyone who follows trek tech an cannon. They offended their most valuable fans in favor of some "temporal cold war" that could have been much better addressed... in oh I don't know the centuries it came from. Ripping apart the cannon, tossing everything aside and ignoring fan pleas not to do a prequal it seems that Paramount is at it again. I for one will personally be boycotting Star Trek XI

It seems like they forgot what Star Trek is - or at least was about. Everyone seems to make movies about the past. And it works out. It doesn't for Star Trek.
Showing the beginnings of something might be nice for one or two episodes. But Star Trek is about visions and what kind of visions can you depict if you focus on history?

I'd like to see something right after the Dominion War or something really different several decades after Voyager returned home.
I'd like to see the Federation dealing with the consequences of the war against the Dominion, what can be found in the Delta Quadrant aside from the Dominion and stuff like that. I think in a time right after the Dominion War you could make up a bunch of story lines - you don't need the past to find something to tell. The same for the decades after Voyager's return. There are hundreds of possibilities.
Sci-Fi is about something new and different. There's nothing new and different if you already know the future (e.g. TOS) of the future (ENT) they depict.
I want the future back - and propably some heads and writers at Paramount.

edit

Sry.. forgot to answer the question 
If it will be about the past, I propably won't see it.

i will see it, chances are i will hate it. but ill see it.
right now i would like to see a movie that is a flash back type movie, showing the life of a Federation captain and how he watched the federation fall, and how he is trying to reserect it. it wouldn't have some great force that took us down, but a mix of internal affairs that go arie betrale and jsut plan degrigation of the socity. it would be an aligory of out future. lol if any of you USA Mainers like the idea hook up with me. i have a camrea and a computer. lol

It was always Gene Roddenberry's wish that Star Trek moved forwards, not backwards. That philosophy was only trashed after he died, with bad consequences. 

A new movie is such a cool opportunity to go into the future.  It doesn't have to be donkey's years. Even one generation is enough to introduce all kinds of new concepts and species. What is more, the fancy new computer graphics was utterly wasted on Akiraprise, and let's be honest, the level of detail provided by today's digital technology does not lend well to 1960's models. As our technology moves forwards we should take advantage of it and do some really cool stuff, not waste it on prequel garbage.  >:(

Who makes these decisions? I thought it was actually Rick Berman that had a crayon in his head, but the new movie does not involve him. I've figured out that most people today are thick as Walmart's finest yoghurt.  Just look at the amount of so-called professional people who call carbon-dioxide "carbon" and in doing so completley miseducate the public. It's like saying that in order to tackle water pollution, we should be careful what we dump into hydrogen (this analogy really is perfect). Proposterous!!  This is the intellectual state of the world today. Some people really disappoint me. Rant over

they need to have a movie where the dominion take on the borg I always though that'd be interesting

Very true, because it's unlikely the Borg haven't encountered the Dominion. The Borg ignore low technology races like the Kazon, but they would definitely try for a high-tech race like the Dominion, just like they do with the Federation. 

I wonder what an assimilated founder looks like

Interesting, but a movie? dose not follow the StarTrek way, a lot of trek has to deal with being human, and how to be human.
