by killing off shatner as kirk back in 1994 with the horrid Generations movie and even now they won't give shatner the very little leeway he needs to save star trek. all it would be so simple. give shatner copyright authority to his character and he could easily revitalize star trek. yes thanks to paramount he is now too old to play kirk but if he could do an audioplay utilizing that unforgettable voice of his as kirk he could save star trek single-handedly an adaptation of the numerous original tos stories written decades ago. I have in mind "mind-sifter" from sondra marshak and myrna culbreath's star trek the new voyages paperback. kirk on leave is kidnapped by the klingons who want to know the location of the time planet and the Guardian of Forever. they tear kirk's mind apart with their mind-sifter. now insane he breaks away and jumps through the guardian and winds up back in 1950s 20th century earth. his mind destroyed and not knowing what to make of his starfleet uniform he is put in a mental institution where he gains the love and sympathy of nurse jan hamlin. but his mind is destroyed and his thoughts have no coherency. meanwhile in the future pouring over historical records from 20th century earth, spock has reasoned that kirk went backwards in time to try and reunite with Edith Keeler, he finds the historical record relating to kirk and informs mccoy and scotty that he knows what has befallen the captain. only one thing to do. take the enterprise back in time to rescue him!
now that is an audioplay that could spruce up star trek and delight billions of old line trekkers worldwide.
