You think that is bad, well here's a kicker for ya. Kirk NEVER knew Spock prior to taking command of the Enterprise from then Captain Pike. In fact Kirk went to the academy years after Spock had attended. Now this is according to Trek cannon, but we all know that history means nothing in the face of the almighty dollar. So like with Enterprise, Paramount plans to once again "re-write" history.

I'm holding out hope until we know more details. What we know now is really just rumor. I could see where it could be written and not violate canon too badly. Spock could have returned to the Academy after his first mission with Captain Pike. He was just a science officer on Pike's Enterprise, not a first officer. Maybe he went back for something like Officers training to get on the Captain track. Or he could have been doing a stint as an instructor.
As far as McCoy goes, nothing says he couldn't have been going to the Academy later in life. Maybe he was already an "Old Country Doctor" before he decided to join Starfleet and see the universe.
As long as they do it with some class and don't turn it into "Star Trek: 90210" I'll probably enjoy it.
Actually, "Star Trek: 90210" could work, just do it with different characters. Don't screw with the established history of the characters we know and love.
