After 50 years, an end to the Trek?

[just_me]

They were probably hoping to include him there as well. I wonder if they'll say something in the movie about his demise. There are examples where when an actor that had played the same role for many years dies, they make his role die in the fiction as well.

Just making his role is not enough and the doubt is that will they be successful? I dont think so

Successful in doing what? I don't get what you're trying to say here.

I mean just putting old Mr.Spock is not enough it also should suit order of story when people see this scene they shouldnt say this is irrelevant and director just put it just because he wants. Personally i dont like Abraham's movies so i dont think they will

Actually, it wouldn't need much, just a word in passing that old Spock had died or something like that.

As in, exploring our origin and heading inward toward the center of our galaxy. Many Scientists from many disciplines believe a lot of the answers to our Questions lie in that direction. The stories could also incorporate the research and creation of necessary technology along the way, in order to further study and make sense of the data the Enterprise would collect. Even, perhaps, an arc regarding multiple generations of crew. A true long range mission with the Enterprise N(imoy) being a truly self-sufficient star ship capable of such a mission.
...
Discovery. Dreams. Exploration. Reality. What it is to be Human.

I've been thinking about this and I think it could work. In a way it would be better than previous ship shows which were just a series of fetch quests. They could still encounter new people and phenomena, but there would be an underlying drive and sense of purpose, with the underlying question of "How does this affect our mission?"
It would be different from BSG and VOY in that it would primarily be a journey toward something unknown, not away from something fearful.
This is not to overlook the characters, of course - the story of people who signed on, willingly or unwillingly, and their various motives, would develop during the show, as well as being developed and altered by the new things they experience. Would being alone among the stars make them more fearful and insular or more selfless and enlightened?
I think of this as being a rectification of TFF, how the journey to the centre of the galaxy should have been done.

Honestly, I don't think an endless cycle of reboots telling the same two or three stories over and over again is a future that's worth much. When Abrams Trek plays out, I'd prefer it just die and stay dead.

Then don't go.

For example the series High lander had a different actor than Christopher Lambert, whether he refused, asked too much money or some other reason is anybody's guess.

It was also another character. Duncan McLeod belonged to the same clan, but he was no Connor McLeod.
They even made a point of it in the pilot, where Lambert and Paul acted together.

just a word in passing that old Spock had died or something like that.

Given Nimoy's passing, then saying that Spock has died (I feel) is inappropriate. If need be just never mention the character again, but don't "kill him off."

 

[eyeresist]

I don't see how it's inappropriate.

It's not inappropriate, it's a mark of respect. It's been done with other actors before. In Cheers when Nicholas Colasanto died instead of recasting his character as they usually do, they made him die in the series as well. That gave them the opportunity to pay respect to the actor through his role. They don't do that for just anybody. It's comparable to removing someone's number in a sports team.

I suppose you should never say never, but I'm not fond of any of the non TOS movies, DS9's never coming back and any new TV show's probably in the JJverse. Even if not, it is unlikely to hit the right 'Trek' notes for fans of the old shows. The 'relaunch' novel continuity is fantastic - I'm happy with that, I'd let the rest die.

I doubt the powers that be will let it lie though - too much money involved.

 

[kirkfan]

I for one would rather they try something even at the risk of it being bad than do nothing and let the dream die...

The difference is Coach was a central character and his disappearance would be obvious. Prime Spock isn't a main character in AbramsTrek, simply not having him present wouldn't require an explaination.

They could have said that he went on a long trip and never speak of him again as they normally do but here they decided to grieve the character in the series, which was a lot classier, IMO. They even put a few mementos on the wall that they kept till the last episode of the series, eight years later.
