Further news about Series VII

I caught a Wertzone post about new Series VII rumors, stating that Paramount is going with an anthology approach, so that each season tells a complete story, and the next one tells something different.  As far as everything I've experienced with Star Trek fans, this is about as good as news can get.  I'll refrain from further comments on the grounds that they will only infuriate these extremely touchy individuals...

Furthermore, the first season is expected to be set between Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country and Star Trek: The Next Generation, so not only is it set in the familiar reality of the original TV shows and movies, but features a relatively fallow period in franchise lore, previously seen sparingly in Star Trek Generations (the Enterprise-B) and the Next Generation episode "Yesterday's Enterprise (the Enterprise-C), with rogue Klingons running amok between the Khitomer Conference (Undiscovered Country) and the Khitomer Accords (the peace agreement and site of Worf's orphaning).

This certainly makes it look like the reboot movies won't be touching Klingon conflict after all (Star Trek Beyond doesn't look to follow Star Trek Into Darkness in that regard, anyway), so it's crafty to feature a period in existing continuity where that conflict is once again rife and largely unexplored.

As always, I remain excited...
