What if?


With the third Star Trek movie, set in the J.J. Abrams' re-visioned but alternate universe, set for release soon, I thought I would have a look back and consider something. With a new cast and other big changes, what if one thing wasn't changed from the Star Trek most of us have known all our lives?

If you have seen the first two films or not, you might be familiar with the above picture anyways. Right before the first movie rolled into theaters, there was a mass media blitz of commercials on just about every electronic device that could broadcast them.

This simple scene from those commercials, showing the Enterprise under construction in an Iowa field (yeah, but don't go there) set in motion a mixed bags of emotions on how this icon was....changed....improved....altered....pick your own wording.

However, what if the ship remained as it always was, as many wished it would have stayed as, how it could have been....
