I would like to request a favor... could we please play in the
Original TOS setting (and not the current "alternate universe" TOS of the last 2 movies).
While I like much in both of the recent ST movies set in TOS "the early years", especially the characterizations and depictions of the young TOS characters... I must admit that, being a Vulcan-phile, I absolutely
HATE what they did to Vulcan in the 1st of the new TOS "early year" movies.
The idea that Vulcans are now an "endangered species" really rubs me the wrong way (and honestly the long term effects on the future & fortunes of the Federation, considering the very substantial contributions made to both the Federation and Star Fleet by the Vulcans, is literally immeasurable bordering on, I suspect, catastrophic).
Now I can set aside my bitter prejudice for what was done in the new movies and play in that "alternate TOS universe" if need be, but I figured there would be no harm in at least requesting that we try playing in the original TOS setting. Or as an alternative, if we could just say that Nero failed to destroy the planet Vulcan (and thus failed to commit near total genocide upon the Vulcan people)... I could live with the rest of the new movie twists and alternate takes on things.
