Other Trek sites are suggesting that the proposed character outline may
be a hoax. http://treknation.com/syfyworld/g20010304a.shtml writes:
However, doing something in the past would be counter-productive
to what the Star Trek franchise is trying to achieve. It would be
difficult to give this crew in the 22nd century the 1960s phasers,
having the 1960s computer talking, and putting flashing lights and
switches everywhere.
I think this would be a good point: giving them decent-looking
technology (i.e. something more advanced than what we have today) would
be anachronistic, but sticking with what was shown in the 60s series
would look unbelievably hokey today.
So hopefully this is just the product of someone's imagination. However I
agree that it is unfortunate that whoever created it thought that making
the villain be interested in genetic engineering made sense. Of course
even back with the Khan character, one of his villainous traits was that
he was a genetic superman.
