I can't quite put my finger on it, but there are probably reasons outside of these films, that people consider Trek fans to be ...freakish.

From memepool: Bring Back Kirk!

Between what's happened to Star Trek and Star Wars over the last decade or so, my childhood lies in tattered ruins...

There has been a website devoted to bringing back Kirk for awhile, and looking back over his acting and writing work it would be a good call when enterprise is the only game in town.

It never would have occurred to me to send in an article from memepool, but there was an entry for this site just a few days ago.

Make your voice known, as hopefully a return will prevent him releasing any more terrible cover versions of good songs.

I read an interview with Braga where he states that the ending of Kirk in Gen was indeed inauspicious and aluded to the fact that it may in fact be rethought. Hey, this is sci-fi. If you can bring back Spock you can most certainly Bring back Kirk.

Of course, Shatner ain't the spring chicken he was. He's over 70 now and has been battling a wieght problem since he was in his 30's at least. You can see the poor guy ballooning with each movie sequel. And in his senior years he's portlier than ever, and most likely not up to the physicality of the job. But by the same token, how could you "prequel" Trek with other actors playing that inimitable cast? Certainly, I would concur that since Enterprise is still in production it wouldn't be likely to involve that cast. Unlesss...there's something we don't know about, yet.
