And basically thats how i feel about the star trek movie. You cant say, we've got 40 years of writing going into various seasons & now you want too go and re-write the start. No!
It's not being rewritten. This is a divergent time line. If you want to blame the sudden change in continuity, blame Enterprise.
Partially because there will be no DS9 movie because the guys playing Worf and Sisko said they would not do a movie about DS9, and Voyager actually reached the end. So there's nothing left to actually continue. They just started a new timeline with a new cast so they can write new "what-if" stories.
