Add a suitcase of over-confidence and a screwdriver.

Think that's good enough with the offtopic spam for now.

Hobbs, I updated the topic title to match the previous "Trek XII" thread, as well as stickied for future usage. Hope you don't mind

no problem

On topic, I think it may be a bit early to speculate on plot, release date etc. What we do know, is that Paramount wants the movie out sometime in 2016 (to coincide with Trek 50th), and that Roberto Orci is likely the Director of the movie. A first script has been completed, but no details about the plot as of yet. Mr Orci has suggested that he wants the crew to get "out and explore" in the next movie.

Personally, I hope it's a truly unique story, and not a rehash of a past movie.

I wouldn't mind nods and the like, but an original story would be better. Show us something Trek hasn't done before. What would be great is if they could not have a bad guy, but I doubt that the Studio Execs would allow that.

Yep, even tho, STXI was a new story, STID failed just like Nemesis to retell the same story we know from TWOK, both movies missed the point and ended up too flashy, focused on action...

I do hope to see some characters from TOS, maybe not as major characters but even as small details in whole picture, like Mudd's shuttle and a tribble in STID Kruge wouold be cool to appear for a moment ;)

Agreed a new story would be great.... also I'd like to know what the fleet were doing in the larenchian system in the first film.

Americans still have a hate-on for the JJprise due to our general distaste for curves on vehicles.  Normally, Starships seem to reflect the design aesthetics for cars of the era they were designed in.

...I love curves on vehicles.  I've always preferred sleek vehicles.

Personally, and I know I'm going to get some hate for this...but I think Cumberbatch's Khan in STID was better than Montalban's Khan in TWOK.  I honestly think that Montalban forgot that Khan was originally a manipulative bastard, not a bloodthirsty maniac.

As for the new movie, I hope that Orci takes it a little slower with this one.

What would be awesome, is to see John deLancie in the next movie, portraying this universe's "Trelane", who was quite Q-like. I know he's said that he didn't want to play "Q" again, because the character is supposed to be ageless. But perhaps Trelane?

lol but Q can do what he wants so he could decide to be non-ageless for a bit lol

[Vortex]

I've always felt that the Q character was inspired by Trelane. Post TNG era books have said that Trelane was a part of the continuum, which I like the idea of. I suppose he could even have been a young Q.

[Darkthunder]

Also, the fact that Q has already been playing mischief with the "new crew" in comic form, may possibly influence somewhat on the next movie (one could hope)

Mischief is an understatement.

Q Squared was the name of the novel.  Trelane tries to outdo his dad in meddling with the universe.

make the Irony even bigger...have Trelane played by Keegan De Lancie!

shadowknight: the curves remind people of the "aerodynamics" on 80's american slushbox sedans...underpowered and heavy.

Oi! I'm a Brit and I dislike the JJprise!

[Darkthunder]

And I'm Swedish, and only partially dislike the JJprise

[FarShot]

I'm American and I love the JJPrise!  More people would love it too if rebooting Star Trek wasn't such a very butt-hurt-inducing idea for lots of fans.

Great comic.
