Wow! It's refreshing to see someone take the series by the horns and shake it up. If you think you know the history and mythology of "Star Trek," you will be challenged from the very beginning to find that thread. When I read "Midsummer Tempest", there was a point at which I realized that trains and railroads did not belong in Elizabethan England - that I was living in Poul Anderson's world, not my world. Eventually everyone (some sooner than others) will have a similar realization while watching this movie and will find themselves at the dawn of a rich, new mythos. Hereafter, we all have the opportunity to do it again, fresh; but this time under the best possible conditions: We already know what's "supposed to happen."
