Yeah I know but I figure for new fans I would handle the war the way the war was handled in B5 or the time war on Doctor Who and treat it like something that wasn't seen on screen so viewers who didn't see DS9 wouldn't get lost but what we see would agree with what happened on Ds9 so older fans wouldn't feel left out either.

I misunderstood. Figured you meant something more gimmicky... like LOST with the constant flashbacks.

Yeah I am not going down that road. I tried to get into lost because it had some actors i liked in it but I kept getting lost and confused by all the flashbacks so there is no way I would go down that road:)

I would want my series to be welcoming to new fans so people who have never watched Star trek before can start with it and not be lost while at the same time building on what came before so old fans could also enjoy it. I would hope to pull it off as well as the relaunch of Doctor Who pulled off it's drawing in of new viewers while throwing a few nods to the past in.
