Star Trek III - The [Speculation Begins] (Spoilers)

[austen_pierce]

Medical Thriller... plague. Give Karl Urban one more chance to steal the movie.

how about klingon borg

I'm anti-borg, but I like this concept... how about a menace that goes after someone other than humans/Earth for a change?

Spock Prime should have ignored the temporal prime directive and mind melded with new Spock, so as to have him able to explain plot points to the audience and have a leg up.

But Spock Prime melded with NuKirk in Trek 2009. The utility of what you suggest already exists.

Sorry everyone, playing catch-up.

I like that. Kirk and crew trying to prevent a disaster on/to another planet. You still have big scale events, but not a threat to Earth for a change.

Thanks, buddy! Some will say that we already got this in the Narada's attack on Vulcan and the Volcano sequence from Into Darkness, so I want to be clear that I'm talking about having that be the PRIMARY plot, potentially in a setting where they're not even wanted. (?)

To clarify further, aside from Enterprise and crew, I don't want Earth involved AT ALL. No Insurrection or Avatar knock offs please!

The film opens in the Prime Universe, Barclay is attempting to discover what happened to Spock by conducting some experiments with Red Matter. Suddenly a miniature Black Hole opens. Barclay sticks his head through the Event Horizon where he sees...

Kirk on his way down to the Deflector control room on the Enterprise B.

 

[Nerys Myk]

It will be a remake....ah.....homage to Yesterday's Enterprise. A temporal anomaly tosses the Enterprise 100 years into the future where they meet the crew of the Enterprise-D. The D is involved in long term war with the Klingon Empire. A war that was ignited by the actions of a certain Captain James T. Kirk In addition to Picard, Data and the rest, also on board the D is Old NuSpock (Leonard Nimoy) The dilemmas, save the D from the Klingons ( who would love to get a hold of James T. Kirk the quintessential devil in this matter), Return home and see if they can change the future ( should they?) Of course they defeat the Klingons and save the D. They enter time warp and wind up....

In 2015!!!!!! Cliff hanger for the next movie: Tomorrow is Yesterday/Voyage Home/Assignment Earth

 

[Opus]

Only if Tom Hardy plays Picard.

 

[Herkimer Jitty]

Or James McAvoy.

 

[F. King Daniel]

No, Tom Hardy plays Picard, James McAvoy plays Tom Hardy in the 2015 bits.

 

[Opus]

As long as Ian McKellen plays Patrick Stewart.

 

[Praetor]

And Ian McKellen plays an aged Kirk? Love it.

Edit: Darn you, Opus.

NuBarclay.

Played by Sharlto Copley?...

Star Trek 3 will be the Enterprise going into the mirror universe and encountering mirror universe Pike who tries to destroy them. In order to defeat him Kirk has to seek the help of the mirror universe version of George Kirk who still looks young enough for some reason that they can bring back Hemsworth.

Kirk vs Pike. Interesting....

 

[Flake]

The Trek fanboy in me has officially decided that it wants the next movie to be a crossover between the nu-Universe and the TNG era prime universe complete with Enterprise-E and whatever other ship and TNG era crew member they can throw in.

To see the TNG-era and all the old guard again in stupendous big-budget IMAX vision would give us all multiple fangasms and send this forum into a meltdown of epic proportions whilst bits of images and snippets of information leak out.

The Enterprise-E and the nu-Ent teaming up? Make it so.

The possibilities for cameos from the TNG era people are endless and just seeing those sets, ships & people again would be wonderful.

The catalyst for such an odd event should be Q or something.

Make it so?

But would it appeal to the mass market? Would it fuck. Oh well. Fanboy portion of my brain is not letting this go though.

The Enterprise-E and the nu-Ent teaming up? Make it so.

You really don't want this to happen. Trust me.

 

[Joker]

Getting back to speculation on the next movie, I dont' know if this has already been suggested, but what if Khan's blood messes Kirk up somehow, turns him dark while they are out there exploring, and Spock and the crew have to figure out how to save him, before he does something really bad.

Pine isn't a good enough actor to carry anything like this off.

 

[137th Gebirg]

Oh, I don't know. He played a very different (and patently over-the-top) kind of character in "Smokin' Aces". I think he's a lot more flexible than many people give him credit for, and he can only really act within the general confines of what's been written for him.

 

[Konata Izumi]

They should remake the last episode of TOS.

 

[Gsam]

Pine actually is quite capable of pulling it off. He has done amazing work on the stage and frankly I thought he did a great job as Kirk. As mentioned on here he also was incredible in smoking aces.

 

[jks]

Sorry for revising an old thread, but I like the idea of a "Search for Pike/Menagerie" mashup.

We know that Spock mind-melded with Pike before he died in Into Darkness. So what if Spock starts exhibiting Pike-like behavior, much like how Bones started acting like Spock in ST III. Kirk starts noticing, and is like "OK, what's up with that?" Spock reveals that his mind meld with Pike had the unexpected consequence of absorbing Pike's "Kantra", even though he's not Vulcan.

Spock also goes into memory flashes where he experiences Pike's encounter with the Talosians and the beautiful Vina. Spock then melds with Kirk to show him Pike's memories. Light bulb goes off in Kirk's head, and Kirk decides that they must bring Pike's Kantra to Talos IV, which is off limits and illegal to travel there. All kinds of shenanigans with Kirk and crew along the way, interspersed with more Spock flashbacks of Pike's time with Vina in the Talosians' Illusion-world.

At the end, the Talosians successfully transfer Pike's consciousness to some kind of vessel or body, to be reunited with Vina in love forever.

The original Pike was a tragic figure indeed, but he did get some bittersweet redemption in the Menagerie episode. Into darkness had all the tragedy and pointlessness of Pike's original accident which left him crippled, but lacked the redemption. For me being a Pike fan, bringing his Kantra back to Talos IV would be an enormously satisfying conclusion to the trilogy, and would bring the franchise full-circle to Gene's original pilot with Jeffrey Hunter. It seems fitting somehow.

I really don't know where you take Star Trek at this point. I would like an original story but it would have to be written well and without that swiss cheese of plot holes that was Into Darkness. I would like to see Kirk fight the Borg but with the assistance of the planet killer from the original series. I believe it had been postulated that the the planet killer was designed as a doomsday machine against the Borg. Since Star Trek Countdown confirms that Neros ship was a Romulan/Borg hybrid vessel, lets say he sent a signal to the delta quadrant before its destruction as a proximity beacon for the Borg. I would have rathered Star Trek Into Darkness (which is a terrible title) would have been original and although I love Cumberbatch, I think Kahn needed to stay lost for a while. That script was just terrible.
