[Atrocities]

Here's a thought, have Matt Damon play Kirks great great grand son. The plot would be simple, on the maiden voyage of the Enterprise F James Thaddous Kirk and crew uncover a secret plot by the romulans to destroy the Klingon Star system using an ancient Federation technolongy, the Genesis device.

Kirk and crew must stop the evil plot form succeeding with a damaged ship, limited ability, and a cunning and devious enemy commander bent upon finishing his mission.

Kirks great great grandson could easily be explained away as the child of one of Kirks many sexual excursions.

Think about it, Admiral Picard giving a new Star Ship Enterprise to the great great grandson of James Kirk. Picard having met Kirk and been there at his death would have taken a special interest in Kirks offspring. Then Kirk and crew set out to save not only the Federation, but the Klingon empire as well.

If I can come up with a story.... then why in the hell can't they?
