   When Nimoy went on "Next Generation" it made sense. He advanced   
   his character of Spock, bringing him forward many decades into the   
   future. It made Spock a more complex and interesting character. It   
   wasn't just done for ratings. It was part of the essential   
   evolution of the Trek universe.   
      
   If Shatner goes on "Enterprise" we all know damned well it will be   
   just for the money -- for Shatner, the last few dollars he can   
   screw out of the Trek franchise, and for the studio, the income   
   his appearance will generate in future airings and sales of the   
   episodes. Who thinks Kirk's character (assuming Shatner were to   
   play Kirk) would be advanced at all? Right, nobody. You're the   
   only one, Nobody. You're all alone out there.
