I'm not a fan (I tried at first) of Enterprise but I do love Star Trek. I hope the franchise can pull out of its miserable slump.

STAR TREK XI: The Romulans, the Romulans!

"TREK producers Rick Berman and Brannon Braga revealed more hints about the direction they want to see STAR TREK XI take.
According to the magazine, the two creators want the next STAR TREK feature to be a prequel film set before the adventures of Kirk and company in THE ORIGINAL SERIES. That would lead fans to imagine that the duo are talking about making an ENTERPRISE feature film; not so, says Berman and Braga, who claim that their movie idea doesn't involve ENTERPRISE in any way. Instead, one of the notions is to show the Romulan Wars, the conflict between the Federation and the Romulan Star Empire....
According to the franchise's canon, the Federation and Romulans had an intense space war before ever meeting face-to-face. The end of the war saw the formation of the Neutral Zone, the region of space that acts as a buffer between the two interstellar empires.
One thing that hasn't been mentioned is whether a new TREK movie would reunite any of the previous cast members from the earlier films or television series, or if an entirely new cast of space travellers would be hired."

Sounds kind of cool if they do it right. ???

'Bout time they did this. I was hoping Enterprise would be this concept but I'll settle for a movie.

This is Berman and Braga we're talking about. They have the same chance of doing it right as I have of doing T'Pol. And I mean T'Pol and not Jolene Blalock.

Mighty big "if", with Berman and Braga involved.

Gee, Succatash. No? It sounds like a terrible idea. The saving grace of the whole Trek ouvre has been its characters and the ultra-humanistic morality plays that constitute its best episodes. The series has never had a firm handle on "realism" and a "war story" particularly in this day and age would be insulting crap without a healthy dose of realism. B & B are not the men for the job. Terrible idea.
Edit: Give the job to Joss!

Then it would break on of the universal constants. It has always been the even numbered films that were good (whether or not the last continued this trend is subject to debate.) If an odd one were to live up the The Wrath of Khan standards … it would bring about the apocalypse or a new era in Trek films.

Heck yeah, I'm talking about the ENTIRE franchise! The best episodes are always about character and morality. Wrath of Khan was indeed great, but that had an awful lot to do with the chemistry between Shatner and Montalban and their characters' backstories. In it's wonky, B-movie way it was as character driven as any episode of TNG.
And in terms of wild hope, I'd say we were more likely to get another Empire Strikes Back than we are another Wrath of Khan.

And we kinda allready got Wrath of Khan, I'd prefer they don't do it yet again...(or try to make something that feels the same, as they'd most likely fail)
