Technically, Melmac was destroyed and should thus be indicated by a dashed circle symbol on the chart.

So was Vulcan...

At least in the new movie...

Which will be considered canon over my dead body...

I swear if JJA touches the Wrath of Khan "Measures" will be taken...

BTW I just noticed two errors in the graphic I posted. Andromeda and Earth Final Conflict should be in the left most column as they were created by Gene Roddenberry. I know I got it bad...

i thought the most recent star trek was excellent.

it had a good story line, and fantastic casting.

and it did a lot to bring in a new generation of fresh fans to the franchise and opened up a whole untouched realm of new directions for the star trek series

I too thought the reboot was very well done - and the issue of "canon" was dealt with very cleverly, I thought, since the actions of the villain traveling back in time essentially created an alternate past and timeline for the entire ST universe and the most important characters. Now the rebooted version is free to go where no ST has gone before without contradicting the accepted canon of any of the other incarnations.

And I agree, the casting was brilliant. Karl Urban - who I could not have imagined in the role prior to seeing him do it - totally nailed his performance as a younger but no less crotchety McCoy, and the guy who played Kirk... well, even watching the movie I didn't quite see it until towards the end and there was a moment when he sat down in the captain's chair on the Enterprise and it wasn't even verbal, just his movements and expressions, and all of a sudden I thought, OMG he just became the James T. Kirk that I remember.

And don't even get me started on Spock. Also - crap, I can't remember names today but the guy who played Scotty, loved him as well.

EDIT: What, no X-Men in the Geek Periodic Table? FOR SHAME.

yup... but those lens flares

Definitely looking forward to Mr. Abrams' next project.
