Who's to say that it will continue that way. STTMP and STtRoK take place year(s) apart because this newly refurbished Enterprise has become a training ship. What is to say that ST IV couldn't happen at some earlier time say the last adventure of the now immortalized 5-year mission. Or maybe they could overlook the entire thing and just make a Star Trek movie. I hope they don't get hung up on what happened before. Think carefully how much of the main action of ST II was incorporated into ST III all the Gensis/Spock stuff was just filler leading up to the ST III. The main action was Kahn escaping and going after Kirk. So maybe there is some action perhaps on the side that we maybe missing. (ie the 'secret mission' etc) that will quickly resolve the past and let them continue on into the future with a new adventure. (maybe McCoy and Spock will now share some mind link that the Klingons and/or Romulans will us to get to Spock.) remember Kirk did steal a Klingon ship maybe they're mad at him.. (something to think about) after all courtroom movies are good only if you haven't seen all the action before (a la Breaker Morant or even the Courtmarshall episode of ST).
