Re: Anyone Else Wanting the "Rebooted" Borg?

A thousand times no to the Borg. Done. To. Death.

Re: Anyone Else Wanting the "Rebooted" Borg?

Even though it isnt Canon, the DC Fontana scritped (least I think it was) game Star Trek Legacy had the borgs origins as V'Ger, the original probe got sucked into a - you guessed it - Black hole! and - you guessed it - went back in time, to some advanced machine race who sent it out to learn all it could, only when it did learn all it could, it needed greater capacity to store that or some such, and started using more human hosts against their will, and eventually became the Borg.

I Think.

I prefer the cybus origin story for the Cybermen, but thats a different story...

I'd have to vote yes on the borg though. Kirk against the Borg, we haven't seen it before, and in a film we'd probably never see them again afterward, so why not. Gotta be done right though.

Re: Anyone Else Wanting the "Rebooted" Borg?

Absolutely no Borg. Horrendous idea. Keep this timeline Borg free and I'll be a happy man. How about using some actual TOS villains? Isn't it time for a good Klingon movie?

Re: Paging Doctor Marcus

Since I totally believe the producers are going to bring her into the next movie in someway...

And what brings you to this conclusion?

Producers (like JJ) who are smart and want to lure in oldtime fans, and yet satisfy new ones...

Only time will tell..

The movie will pass 95 million today. He doesn't need to lure in a bit character.

He's a little small and unimposing to be Harry, no?

He'd make an amazing Penguin though..


Holy merged thread Batman!

Re: Actors you would like to see in Star Trek 12 (2?)

No, no, no... Carol Marcus!!!

I think she looks alot more like Majel; a younger, hotter version. And Majel's look is a tough one to replicate.

Re: Paging Doctor Marcus

I'd prefere Abrams and co to do what they want, why rely on psat characters and events in this timeline, its a kinda parallel alternate one anyway.

Its better that they do alternate versions of events, yeah, but not shoe horn them in for the sake of it. They dont need to be there.

Re: Anyone Else Wanting the "Rebooted" Borg?

NO BORG. Its been done to death (literally). They worked well for TNG, but that was it. If someone wants Borg, they can watch VOY. The movies that follow need to keep with what has worked with this one. Keep it fun.

Again, that relies on the faulty premise that this movie belongs to the same universe/timeline. It doesn't. A radically redesigned Borg, keeping the malovolence and intimidation there, would not be redoing the Borg you think of. Again, Klingons, Cardassians, Andorians, and Romulans all exist in this new timeline, and they've had more stories than the Borg in the other one. So why aren't those considered rehashing while a radically redesigned Borg would be?

I get that you like the Borg and the idea of re-hashing them. I liked them too, back in the day. The thing is, this Star Trek movie somehow managed to recapture the possitive and hopeful feel that TOS had all those years ago. I'm a life long fan and have seen every episode of every series. What I hadn't been able to put my finger on until I saw the movie was just how far away from that feel Trek has come. I'm quite alright with sticking to the formula that made Trek a big thing in the first place for a while.

Re: What do you want to see/what actors in Star Trek XII?

Now that I've spent about half an hout cleaning up all of the hotlinks, may I direct everyone's attention to the TrekBBS policy concerning the posting of images, which reads as follows:

Picture Size: Images are to be no larger than 640X480. We would also like you to bear in mind our users on dial-up and keep the image filesize as close to 70 KB as possible. Obviously, the image size rules are more relaxed in threads that have a warning in the title that there are large images, such as caption threads or member photo threads.

Hotlinking: You may only post pictures which are hosted by you. If you see a picture online and it doesn't violate that sites copyright restrictions, please save the image locally, then upload it to your photo hosting space on the Web (i.e. your own personal website, or a hosting service like flickr, ImageShack or Photobucket). Do not post a picture that is hosted on any other website or webspace that isn't yours (this is known as hotlinking).

Large or hotlinked images will be edited out of posts or turned into links, and users posting them may receive warnings.

Re: Paging Doctor Marcus

I dont think she has any purpose in this timeline (since there won't be a David).

No way they'll introduce a son, especially with a younger Kirk.

You never know, it might be kinda hip to introduce Jim Kirk: Family Man. Look at how awesomely it reinvigorated the Superman franchise.

I'd like to see Finnegan cause some problems for ole Jimmy boy. Possibly with Finnegan as Captain of another ship.

Re: What do you want to see/what actors in Star Trek XII?

There is a site out there that looks at faces and matches them to the celebrities the faces most resemble.

So let's go through the characters, shall we? If only to see the ridiculousness.


Christine Chapel (Originally Majel Barrett)- Closest one who isn't way too old is Jaime Pressly of "My Name is Earl" fame.

Yeoman Rand (originally Grace Lee Whitney)- Elisha Cuthbert and Thora Birch are the more flattering ones.

Lt. Kyle the Transporter guy (originally John Winston)- Joey Fatone of "Nsync", Christian Slater (!!!) and Matt Lauer.

Lt. Leslie the most-common Redshirt (originally Eddie Paskey)- Jamie Bell (from King Kong and Defiance) and Meat Loaf.

Harry Mudd (originally Roger C. Carmel)- Among the names that pop up from pictures of Mudd are Howard Dean (now that would be a cameo), Kevin Bacon, Gene Hackman, Steve Buscemi, Val Kilmer and Dustin Diamond. Grug Grunberg should be angry at this.

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN: Among the name that popped up for pictures of KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN are Kevin KLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE (NOOOOOO), Bollywood Actor Hrithik Roshan, Scott Bakula (heh), Gerard Butler (THIS IS....... KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!) and Benicio Del Toro.


Gary Mitchell: Jared Padalecki and Ryan Reynolds.

Talosians: Rain.

Mark Lenard's Romulan Commander: Sam Neill

Did that bald security guard/bully have a name in the credits? If not, I was wondering if that could turn out to be Finnegan, Lawrence Styles, or even Ben Finney.

The only one out of ALL of those mishaps I could see is Cuthbert as Rand.

Re: What do you want to see/what actors in Star Trek XII?

I'd like to see a dramatic, intelligent movie that doesn't rely on visuals, rehashing nostalgia, and quoting classic lines other people wrote.

With J.J. in charge this seems unlikely but I'll keep the hope alive.

Failing that I'd just like to see them NOT rape the show and it's past to make more money for paramount and kudos for themselves.

Re: What do you want to see/what actors in Star Trek XII?

Okay. How about Kiefer Sutherland playing the Star Fleet officer that starts Section 31?

A question regarding a new movie/series in original reality

What if Berman or Braga or even someone different were to decide to start another movie or series in our original timeline following the events of Voyager? If that happens and it goes on long enough, would they have to work the destruction of Romulus into their cannon? I mean, according to the new movie, the destruction of the planet did take place in "our" reality.
