Although the upcoming "Star Trek" film "Star Trek" (2009) isn't released yet, there have been amoung the fan community on whether this film depicts a restart of the entire "Star Trek" saga or whether it just introduces a new universe within its mainstream continuity. Today, I found at Ex Astris Scientia, an essay by Bernd Schneider I believe will interest you. It's titled "Star Trek XI: Reboot or Multiverse?". Feel free to comment on the reading.
