What's happened to Sybok?

In the next movie, it will turn out that he has been able to get Vulcan back after getting the black hole to share its pain.
 
McCoy got Spock's katra when Spock melded, meaning the last few minutes weren't included in the katra and Spock wouldn't remember experiencing them when he was resurrected.

Except the first thing Spock did when he saw Kirk was recall their last conversation as he was dying. I don't think it was exactly like Spock plugged into McCoy and made a backup copy of his mind and then everything after was gone.
 
Sybok was exiled when Spock was young, so he was probably off planet when it was destroyed.

With so few Vulcans left -- and so many of the survivors more likely to succumb to despair or a sense of disconnection from the loss of their home world -- he'll find it easier to recruit followers to his little cult. More than likely, he'll emerge with a small colony (Compound? Community? Spiritual retreat?) and a population that reveres him as a kind of prophet since he took away their pain over the loss of their loved ones and their civilization.

Actually that's not a bad a story idea. A rogue Vulcan faction that devotes itself to passion and constantly searching for the Promised Land at Sha Ka Ree, which they presume will be their new home world now that Vulcan isn't an option...
I like this. This could be a nuVerse book plot. I'd read it!
 
He met up with the hippies from "The Way to Eden", and contracted Synthococcus novae when he tried to take Doc Sevrin's pain. In a drug-disease addled misadventure alongside space Kumar, he finds himself in search of a cure and question his beliefs, but eventually discovers that friendship is the most important power in the galaxy. He also somehow finds himself in a very dark room with a bunch of people who have magic blood forzen in stasis, and is thus able to get rid of disease problem, and help Khan with his aggression issues.

I don't think that's entirely how it works. Spock recalls his death. McCoy and Spock even discuss this point in IV.

McCoy: Come on Spock. It's me. McCoy. You really have gone where no man has gone before. Can't you tell me what it felt like?
Spock: It would be impossible to discuss the subject without a common frame of reference.
McCoy: You're joking?
Spock: A joke... Is a story with a humerus climax?
McCoy: You mean I have to die to discuss your insights on death?

Sybok died on Vulcan when the black hole consumed it.

End of story.

Not really so simple. Since Sybox was cast out when Spock was likely much younger.

Who'd be cast as Sybok? Cruise:vulcan:

I'd go for someone like Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

That character is in the Star Trek equivalent of the Mos Eisley Cantina having a round with Carol Marcus, Dr. Soran, General Chang among others holy crap

NO SYBOK please, one horrific movie with him was quite enough

Need original story

He's currently too busy playing Neegan and beating one of the main TWD characters to death with Lucile

TAKE MY MONEY

Hmmm, the comics based on the new movies have already tapped in to storylines from the original series for inspiration, and in some cases have written new stories inspired by the old ones. Some fans need or want those anchor points of familiarity, to greater or lesser degrees, so those unoriginal elements are always going to continue showing up.

I can understand not liking The Final Frontier. But sometimes it's a fun game to try and salvage elements of a story that is widely regarded as bad, a re-purposing those elements for a new and better story, to show the worth of the ideas.

One of my favorite examples is a movie called Krull. It has a lot of problems. But it's full of ideas that are scattered throughout, like buried treasure. Sybok can also be made to work as a good idea, but that's just my opinion.

The reason the comics cover so much storylines already covered in TOS or have done others connected to greater Trek Lore (like a six issue arc where Q sends the Enterprise into the 24th century to fight the Dominion) is because while Orci was supervising the comics, those were the only stories he was allowing them to tell. With his supervisory role removed (and indeed, any involvement with the franchise) don't be surprised if the comics start telling a bit more original stories.
 
Sybok simply got up to the exact same antics he did in the other timeline.

Sybok didn't seem get his final inspiration or "signal" until shortly before ST:V when it was only then he had a specific destination in mind to get to.
 
Don't know. But sounds like they could save him and Orcis script For the third film for the fifth nuTrek film. He and some zealots go on a quest to restore The prime time line and prevent Vulcans destruction.

This would have (will???) actually made an interesting story.

I'd go for someone like Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

Yeah! And make him like Negan. Imagine Sybok saying "I can feel your pain....", the beating someone to death with a baseball bat named Lucille... er... T'Pau. THAT would be a twist on the character.
