Star Trek XI: Romulan Wars?
Tycoon Guy writes "TrekToday reports that the next Star Trek movie will deal with the war between Earth and the Romulans that led to the founding of the Federation. According to Rick Berman, the film will be 'set before the time of Kirk, but will not be connected with Enterprise.' So how will they make this fit with the Classic Trek episode Balance of Terror, in which we learned that no human ever saw the face of a Romulan during the Romulan Wars?"
Erm, I've watched all of 75 minutes total of Enterprise, and from what I've seen online, it's not supposed to be contiguous.
:\
The timeline deviates early in the series (as in the NX-01 was supposed to be destroyed in it's first encounter with the Klingons), and everything from that point forward is an alternate timeline, right down to the Borg, which is the 'fault' of the First Contact movie.
I'll accept the storyline, and try to keep an open mind when I sit down to watch it, but that still doesn't mean it will be good.

I do this for every Star Trek related story. I have tons of Karma from all my other posts because I say insightful things about the issues of today. But every time Star Trek comes up I have to post this and every time I get modded down. It's worth it though.
STAR TREK SUCKS. Take a random episode of Star Trek and compare it with a random episode of any afternoon soap opera. It's the same damn show. Putting people in a different setting in space uniforms does not a sci-fi show make. I can't respect any Star Trek one bit. Why the hell do all you people like it so much?
You may now proceed with the down-modding.
The GeekNights podcast is going strong. Listen!
I think a bigger question is whether any Klingons in the film will appear with ridged foreheads, of if they'll just be vaguely hispanic looking guys with goatees.
Don't you people have lives? Haven't you ever been with a woman?
