It's going to involve time travel in some way, so the racial/ethnic origins of the characters will have to remain intact (entact, sp?).<BR/><BR/>It would also be fair, however, if a Latino/Hispanic had a part too, maybe a supporting role of an ensign or admiral. The main cast will already have a Scot, a Russian, a Japanese guy, an African woman (I think Uhura's history says she's from Africa, not from the Americas), and an alien. So, I think throwing in an Hispanic and/or Middle Easterner might make the movie look like the United Nations. On the other hand, that's part of the point of Star Trek, so there's nothing wrong with that.<BR/><BR/>Let's hope that time travel rumor is false. If they're going to do this, I'd rather them go full-fledged re-boot, ala Battlestar Galactica or Marvel's Ultimate comics line, than go the alternate timeline route. In fact, I'd like a re-booted Star Trek to be conservative with the time travel, as Babylon 5 was (only doing it once, spread over three episodes).umberhavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14656811393926683819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7531837.post-20349289772669529202007-09-16T13:43:00.000-05:002007-09-16T13:43:00.000-05:00Oh No!
