   Couldn't say, I can't really get my head around the   
   idea of being a fan of Enterprise. :-)   
      
   Personally, I can't really imagine what they would   
   do with him. I'm violently opposed to resurrecting   
   Kirk in any way shape or form. I'm also well against   
   him being an ancestor of Kirk - it irritates me when   
   they have somebody do that, like we're all identical   
   to our great great grandfather.   
      
   So we'd be left with him playing somebody entirely   
   unrelated to Kirk. And what's the point of having Shatner   
   around for that?
