+----------------
| Has it occurred to anyone that the makers of the Star Trek
| movies may have no intention of "getting Kirk out of this
| one?" All these arguments about the main characters'
| relationship to Starfleet would conveniently become
| unimportant if the characters all left the service and started
| having adventures on their own.
|	. . .
| Oh, sure, it might still chase after the "deserters" but it
| could be like the old "The Fugitive" show, with the Feds just
| about to catch up with our heroes at the end of each movie,
| then conveniently losing their trail at the start of the
| next. It's a big universe. How many ships does Starfleet have? 
+----------------

Sh*t.  First V, now Star Trek may turn into The A*TEAM in Space.
Is NOTHING sacred in Hollywood???  (Rhetorical question.  Of COURSE it isn't.)

+----------------
| This isn't the TV series anymore: they have lots of time and
| money to make each episode, so why be hemmed in by the format
| of the old show?
+----------------

Because it forces them to do it right.  Remember ST:TMP?  Do you *really*
want THAT (Hollywood's vision of Star Trek)?  Ugh.  The only thing it had
going for it was that it was in the Star Trek universe.  (That, and I liked
the music.)
