    That's what I was thinking...
    Maybe the ones with the screwed-up DNA (Flat-heads)

    Put in stasis to avoid having them spread their "Bad" DNA around the Empire???

    Meh, they just look like people.

    You know, like Khan's followers. ;)

    Has anybody suggested yet that perhaps it's the Klingons that find the Botany Bay in this universe?

    That's why JH is shown fighting them...

    (just pulling stuff outta my as here) :vulcan:

    This all seems plausible.

    Still, those "cryogenic" units may be simply to keep the crew killed on Kirk's apparent ill-fated mission "fresh" as it were.

    I went to see The Hobbit opening night, and much to my dismay, there was no Into Darkness preview!

    I don't understand why people simply don't call the theater and find out ahead of time.

    This kinda-sorta ignores the whole "J.H. Fighting the Klingons" thingy though.

    Why? Maybe he goes to the Klingons for assistance/cooperation and they reject him.

    Seems implausible to me...

    Why would they let J.H. have the opportunity to contact the Klingons after-the-fact of bringing him back to Earth in the brig.

    I don't see Star Fleet just giving him a ship to toodle around space with, based on what little we know at this point.

    Seems a bit more plausible (to me anyway) that he meets up with the Klingons Before interacting with Kirk and the gang.

    The BOP(?) chase scene could suggest this also.

    Isn't he in the first 9 minutes of the movie though? If so, for him to both be on the Botany Bay and revived by Klingons, it would have to be a flashback (which is no stranger to Bad Robot).

    However, I don't think it is the Botany Bay that we're seeing. The hallway that the two figures are walking into has a brick background, like I mentioned before. That doesn't seem much like a starship to me. That theory could work that they were transported, but that would be assuming the Botany Bay pods were at all portable.

    Perhaps the Klingons take all the pods out of the ship and destroy it?

    Thus the reason they are eventually pictured as though on a planet??

    Maybe that's why John is ticked-off at them???

    Perhaps also why he's acquired a ship of his own, to get the pods back to earth???

    (again, just butt-pullin' here)

    Here is another idea: Could those be escape pods? Escape pods that have failed?

    I think I have got it:

    “Is the anything you would not do for your family” = Harrison talking to Noel Clarke’s character, trying to convince him to give up the prefix codes to Starfleet ships in exchange for curing his daughter. That would account for him crying and taking off his Starfleet class ring because he is betraying Starfleet.

    I've been reading the Final Reflection, which features Klingon Marines that are kept in stasis until needed.

    I actually concur with this theory. Not necessarily the prefix codes...maybe some other Federation and/or Starfleet secret that the 'Batch wants and was able to get from Clarke. But I think the general idea is sound.

    I still remain that he's Garth of Izar with some sort of age defying trick. He's taking advantage of looking different and posing as Harrison and trying to regain command of a ship after being disgraced by Starfleet and condemned as a mental case.

    Except Cumberbaddie is already on Earth when the film opens. So this spoiler story is bull.

    I'm beginning to think Khan is in this movie but he's only making a cameo at the end of the movie.
