   So you think a YOUNG kirk,....supposedly before the TOS timeframe, is not a   
   "prequel"  ?   
      
   The fact is, that as an alternate universe,..... it's just a   
   bastardization/exploitation for profit.   
   And a bit late for the writers to save it by claiming it was all a dream   
   sequence.
