A rumor from last month, found here, talks about the next film being set in the Mirror-Universe of Star Trek, with Picard, Archer, and (that two time Emmy winner #$%^&* WTF!) Kirk.
No Sisko? The writers cannot be bothered to yank him out of the wormhole to deal with a universe and it's inhabitants that he has dealt with *more often* than *any* of the other captains. Picard went once in the books, and was truly able to handle himself, (although I'd rather see Mirror Troi than Mirror Picard [delighted shudder]) Kirk was there for perhaps twelve hours and was lucky to escape before Marlena phasered him or Spock or Sulu gave him some time in the Booth. And the only way Shatner's casting would be remotely palatable for me is if he played Kirk's evil counterpart. Then, just as his Emmy turn as Denny Crane has been, he can be as nutty as he likes.
And, much as I love "In a Mirror Darkly" Archer *has never been there!" We only saw the counterparts!!!
I love Scott Bakula. I do. But they'd better swap Archer for Sisko, or that movie is going to bring what's left of the franchise seven years of bad luck.
