Based on published reports, it appears likely that the storyline J.J. Abrams has conceived for his ldquo;Star Trek rdquo; movie takes place in Trek rsquo;s 23rd century and revolves at least partly around youthful versions of James Kirk and Spock.
Some long-time fans of the Franchise are excited by this possibility, and some are dead-set against it.
Those fans who dislike the TOS-based movie premise have been active out on the Web advancing a number of assertions-passing-as-arguments as to how the premise somehow violates basic principles of ldquo;what lsquo;Star Trek rsquo; should be about. rdquo; There are several themes that crop up again and again on blogs and message boards.
Here rsquo;s one of my favorites: ldquo;Star Trek is about the future. It should move forward, not back. rdquo;
