Star Trek XIV: What do you want?

[somebuddyX]

I was thinking about Spock and Uhura having a kid again, and I still think that would be a neat element. I don't know if there is any media of Spock being a parent, like a comic or book but definitely not so far in live action. Spock being a dad and dealing himself with a kid with emotions just seems like such a logical story progression. Quinto and Saldana being parents could be fun. Would people accept kids on a TOS-era ship though? One of the things that I see a lot with ideas about if people could change TNG is throwing out the families and kids. Is there ever a point where families are okay on a ship? I think you could get away with two kids.

Imagine Spock having to come to Kirk for parenting advice because his kid is acting out, like young Jim did.

"Jim, I do not understand. He insists that he is bussing, yet I drive him to school every day. It is most illogical."

 

[Shat Happens]

Never. That's because Spock is a hybrid therefore sterile. Read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproductive_isolation and this https://www.britannica.com/science/speciation

It helps me sleep after Star Trek III with the zombie Spock and Saavik scene

Zombie Spock hungers for hearts.

TNG reboot in 2027 on the 40th anniversary is a must IMO.

Might as well cast James Macovy as Picard while we're at it.

Always liked the idea of the test Q put the Enterprise through about their baser instincts and nature of conflict though I would alter the Encounter story for something more familiar. Maybe something like the Klingon/Romulan on the verge of war after both sides lose outposts on the Neutral Zone border thus allowing agitators on both sides who crave for war - With the Enterprise caught in the middle.

How to flesh such a story out for a movie, i'm not sure but using it too foreshadow/tease the Borg for a 2 part sequel is an idea that appeals to me.

If we wanna stay thru to canon I would actually have Ralph Fiennes play picard as he's around the same age Picard was when he took command of the enterprise-D. (Stewart was only 47 when he started)

ooooo Ralph is an excellent shout.

Kelvin/Discovery crossover flick

 

[JonnyQuest037]

A fourth Kelvin film with Chris Hemsworth returning as George Kirk through time travel shenanigans would bring things full circle nicely, I think. Let Pine's Kirk finally resolve his daddy issues.

Give Hiddleston some pointy sideburns and I'm sold on that!

A Strange New Worlds movie.

SNW is essentially the TV series many of us wished for after the 2009 movie so it would be kinda fitting I guess.

What if he meets Prime George instead? A man who knows everything and nothing about Jim, and is trying to advise his son, who has recently discovered he is a father, too?

 

[F. King Daniel]

Honestly, when I heard the actual plot of that George Kirk ST4, where he was stuck in a pattern buffer for 30 years because he actually beamed off the Kelvin at the last minute, it killed my interest. Any number of ways to resurrect him and they pick the one that totally undermines his sacrifice in the 2009 movie?

Yeah, I'd much rather George Kirk was just plucked out of time at some point and then returned to face his fate.

 

[FederationHistorian]

Have George Kirk captain the Kelvin from a parallel timeline and cross over to the Kelvinverse. Easy.

Yeah, something a little bit "Yesterday's Enterprise" -ish, but hopefully not a crapsack AU thing.

Mirror Universe George. Kirk is torn between his image of his father and the irredeemable monster his father is in the MU.

This idea that everything can (and likely will be) undone is overdone.

I suppose you could argue that it doesn't undo George's sacrifice in that he genuinely expected to die, just as Jim did in the warp core in ID. Moreover, Jim can't (without intervention) undo the effect of years without/living in the shadow of his father.

It would have been a creepy twist if Kirk's dad had become one of Krall's later henchmen, having drifted to Altamid through a space portal (somehow) years ago and done terrible things to survive.
