The purpose of the Star Trek XI forum?

[Sanehouse]

I don't necessarily have any argument against there being an entire forum for one Star Trek movie, but I've been wondering why you've chosen to make a forum for Star Trek XI and not Star Trek I to X. Is it because Star Trek XI made canon explode like a warp core breach? I mean, theoretically, I could see Star Trek XI being a part of the TOS/TMP section.

Well not to speak for Graham and Ian but 1-10 all fit neatly into the series they came from. XI is for all intents and purposes a new IP.

[Tsukiyumi]

Yeah, I'm going with the idea that since it's a new timeline (and thus, a new canon), it deserves it's own sub-forum for discussion.

Also, XI came out while the forum was already in existence.

The ST XI threads originally went into the TOS forum, and were overwhelming it somewhat - because of that, and because the new film is a alternate universe/timeline, it was given its own subforum. If and when sequels are released it will probably be renamed to reflect the fact that it will be covering those sequels as well.

Welcome back Kendall - long time no see.

It was a new beginning, and thus a new forum. As the future films come out they will go into that same forum, suitably renamed.
