William Shatner made a passing comment last week on the Tony Danza Show that he's in talks to bring Kirk & Spock back to series Tv. This time, their adventures will center around their youth and their time in Star Fleet Academy! This sounds interesting. Casting a young Kirk is gonna be a tough job! Hope it gets devloped.

What I have never understood is that why should a specific character be permanently associated with a particular actor. One does not have to go very far for examples, Batman and Superman have had different actors. In plays a character can be performed by different actors. Why should Kirk=Shatner and Spock=Nimoy etc. The 'Original Series' Star Trek can be revived from the point it was cancelled. With today's incredible special effects, the show could be much better at least much better than 'Enterprise'

But then it wouldn't match, original trekkies might be pissed off that the tech looks cooler and therefore "newer" than in TOS.

Two Original Series stars have died, the others are too old - new younger actors would be a better alternative, playing the same roles. Or there could be another star-ship with another name in the same time as Original Series Enterprise having its share of adventures..

With today's incredible special effects, the show could be much better at least much better than 'Enterprise' I dont know if you guys know it or not, but there is a group of fans and professionals alike who are doing a show called Star Trek New Voyages which takes place during the fourth and fifth year of the original five year mission. There is a brand new cast playing the original roles of Kirk, Spock, Bones etc etc etc, as well as some of the original stars joining in as well. The sets are identical reproductions of the original series.....they used the original blueprints from the original series to build their sets, and the show looks very good. The show is web based, meaning you down load the show to your pc, but its dvd quality. Their have been two episodes released so far, and the next one staring Walter Koenig.....Chekov comes out on Thanksgiving day, and its called To Server All My Days. George Takai has allready finished filming his parts on the episode to come out after To Server All My Days. If you like the original series, give this a look at. It may take you a bit to get used to seeing another actor playing Kirk or Spock. but once you get past that part, the shows are fun to watch. You can check em out at www.newvoyages.com/
