If this is going to be pre-kirk series...

Shen-- I posted this in the middle of that long "Rick Berman talks........" thread, but it should really go here now:
TEN of the things that Series V would have to have, so as not to destroy Trek continuity:
1) Klingons without the bumpy heads, something Worf said "Klingons don't like to talk about", but which would have to be finally explained.
2) The S.S.Enterprise spaceship, since the U.S.S Enterprise was the first Federation Starship with that name.
3) Lose all those Okudagrams, and go back to some multi-coloured buttons that beeped and blooped in front of randomly flashing screens.
4) No Earth ships had view-screens pre TOS, they didn't have them during the Romulan wars.
5) No holodecks, that's 50% of story ideas lost!
6) Lasers instead of Phasers, as that's what Captain Pike had in 'The Cage',& no photon torpedoes.
7) Really naff uniforms, with all female officers wearing miniskirts!
8) Very primitive transporter technology and transporter psychosis.
9) No Prime Directive, not that any Captain obeys it anyway!
10) No sub-space radio, so no contact with Earth from the start to the end of a voyage.
Give it a chance though-- you know that you'll still watch it anyway.

From what I've read (and it is all still rumour and speculation) they really are going to do it with:
An S.S. Enterprise looking like the 'First Contact' ship.
Laser pistols.
Flashing light-buttoned consols.
Pre-TOS technology.
No Prime Directive-- hence some disasterous first contact with the Klingons.
It all sounds like a good premise for a film, or a mini-series, I still just can't see how that can be sustained for a run of 7 years.
But I will watch it, unless it got really dire.

There is an interview with Rick Sternbach, one of Star Trek's scenic designers here:

He has not been asked to be part of Series V, which he is disappointed about, but he gives his views about what it may be like anyway.

He must have been keen... to tell you twice, I mean... or are you just trying to boost your posts!
