Replace the word "him" with "her" and you've just described the plot of Star Trek: Voyager. (1995-2001). Been there, done that.

Haha, I guess so. But...uh... Starfleet shambles? Hunh? Come on. I know, Voyager sucked.

Eh, Voyager was set post "Dominion War" stuff in DS9, so I guess you could say Starfleet was in shambles. Certainly by the time they got home at the end of the show. And the show started with the whole Maquis conflict from TNG so that was a big crisis in Starfleet.

As long as the new movie doesn't rehash any old plots from TOS, I'll be happy. I'm hopefully the guy Benedict Cumberbatch is playing is new to the franchise. Though these "KHANNNNNNNNNN!" fanboy idiots on the internet continually insist he's playing Khan no matter how unlike the actor is to the character (white lanky british guy playing buff Indian Sikh warlord?)
