Re: What do you want to see/what actors in Star Trek XII?
I think Chris Pine is Kirk now. Its his role, let him play it. That goes for all of the new cast. Let them have it now. I liked seeing Nimoy again, but I would rather he and time travel had not been involved. But, he was and it was, and thats that. But from here on, I would prefer they just leave the originals out of it.
I know that the events of Generations now either didnt happen, or may not, and that Kirks death is no longer a given and so Shatner is now free to appear again. I get that, but unless there is some very good reason for having him in there, I would rather they not do it.

Re: What do you want to see/what actors in Star Trek XII?
I want Tilda Swinton as, uh, something, anything, I don't care what as long as she's in the movie. I just think she's amazing in everything she does and she would make a great alien. She would be superb as one of the surviving Vulcans. I WANT TILDA SWINTON DAMMNIT! TPTB, MAKE IT SO NOW!
Also, I want:
a scene or two with Kirk's mom.
more of Bones as well as more development for Scotty, Uhura, Chekov and Sulu.
them to show us the toilets.
less face-eating between Spock and Uhura.
to hear "He's dead, Jim".
Aidan Devine as one of the villains.

M'Ress and Arex!!!
I'd love to see cameos from these two in the sequel.
Plus, Scotty may need a love interest and the cat lady might work.

Re: M'Ress and Arex!!!
Look up "Lt. M'Ress" on any decent Trek site.
She was another communications officer on the Enterprise during the animated series.
In one episode Harry Mudd got some sort of love potion onboard and I think it got into the ventilation system.
Scotty got VERY interested in M'Ress very quickly. (And she didn't mind a bit.)
It was...disturbing.

the first federation
the andorians. remember the andorians are pretty close to vulcan space and by the time of tos they seem to be in better terms with each other.

I'd like to see Sonita Henry again, but this time in a bigger role. Her eyes... were just beautiful!

Re: What actors / characters / plots do you want to see in Star Trek X
Here's my pitch. It was in another thread, but this one gets more hits:
Inspiration:
TOS “Balance of Terror”
TOS "Arena"
TOS “Errand of Mercy”
TOS “The Enterprise Incident”
TNG “The Battle”
TNG “The Defector”
TNG “Data’s Day”
TNG “The Chase”
Star Trek: The Motion Picture
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
The Hunt for Red October
Star Trek (2009)
TNG “A Final Unity” Video Game
The movie opens with the Enterprise as part of a Federation convoy (3-4 ships) taking Vulcans to their new colony. Suddenly, an ambush! A Romulan fleet squadron (one large ship and two smaller ones) attacks! A battle ensues. A Federation "aircraft carrier", USS Intrepid, much larger than Enterprise is dramatically destroyed. It was commanded by Admiral Pike, killed in front of Kirk’s very eyes. For Kirk, it is like losing his father a second time. The Romulans are victorious. The Enterprise and the surviving Federation ships are at their mercy. Only the impending arrival of Federation reinforcements stops the impending slaughter. The Romulans vessels kidnap some Vulcan elders (including Sarek), and warp away, all except for a small Romulan scoutship which was itself damaged in the attack.
Federation reinforcements arrive and quickly warp off in pursuit, all except for crippled Enterprise. This is the Hunt for Red October. The loss of USS Intrepid was traumatic for Starfleet, equal to the loss of HMS Hood to the Royal Navy. The Neutral Zone is the North Atlantic. Every Starfleet vessel is hunting for the cloaked Romulan vessel, the flagship/Red October/Bismarck of the enemy fleet. A transmission from Admiral Nogura provides some exposition. The Romulan Commander is a legend, he has the reputation of a Romulan Marco Ramius or Captain Picard. He is cold, calculating and competent, like the Romulans in TNG “The Defector” or TOS “Balance of Terror.” A consummate professional, he is driven by a sense of duty. Once upon a time, he singlehandedly tied down the Federation fleet in the Laurentian System.
While performing its own repairs, Enterprise dispatches an away team to the heavily damaged Romulan vessel. The ship is a wreak. McCoy gets to say, "He's dead, Jim." Onboard, the away team finds Saavik! She was one of the captured Vulcan prisoners. She has never met Spock. If she looks closer to the crew's age . . . well, we were never told what her age was in Wrath of Khan, and Vulcans have long lifespans. Immediately, there is sexual tension between her and Spock, centering around the fact that Saavik is a Vulcan female. To love a human is not logical, not when the survival of the Vulcan race is at stake. Drama follows between Spock and Uhura.
With Saavik's help and information from the Romulan ship, the crew discovers what they were after: a weapon of infinite power created by an ancient race of "Space Atlanteans." Their empire existed before Surak, and stretched over all of is now both Federation and Romulan space. Like the Greeks with incomplete knowledge of the Atlantis, the Vulcan elders captured by the Romulans have information vital to finding the secret location of the ancient Space Atlantean capital. While the rest of the fleet is on a wild goose chase, believing this Ramius is trying to escape across the Neutral Zone, the Enterprise becomes USS Dallas. Saavik reveals that he is actually headed for an uninhabited planet in Federation space that holds another clue about the Atlanteans.
The Enterprise arrives at its destination, but the Romulans are waiting. Kirk is beaten again! Turns out that Saavik is (in this alternate timeline) a half Vulcan/half Romulan double agent, and has led them into a trap! Her “rescue” from the derelict Romulan ship was staged so that she could steal some information from the Enterprise computers about the location of the ancient weapon. The second encounter was staged to provide her a means of escape. She kidnaps Spock when she is beamed aboard the Romulan vessel.
But Kirk and Spock already knew that Saavik was a double agent, and allowed her to escape. Uhura speaks all 3 dialects of Romulan. This isn't revealed to the audience until after the battle takes place, but there are clues littered earlier in the movie. The Enterprise was only playing dead. And even though the Romulan ship is cloaked, Spock is broadcasting a hidden signal that allows the Enterprise to track them.
Spock is now a hostage aboard the Romulan ship. The sexual chemistry between Saavik and Spock continues (think TOS "The Enterprise Incident"). In this alternate timeline, Saavik is like Juliet when she had Jack locked in a shark tank at the beginning of season 3 of LOST. Nice one minute, will beat the crap out of you the next.
The Romulans go the capital of Space Atlantis, a remote planet in the heart of the Neutral Zone. Spock, Sarek, Saavik and the Romulan Commander and some Romulan redshirts go down to the planet in a shuttle. It’s one of those planets where sensors and transporters don’t work.
The Enterprise arrives while they are on the surface. This time the Enterprise does the ambushing. Kirk invents the Picard maneuver, and scores a decisive victory. The battle is all the more dramatic because Kirk (and the audience) does not know that Spock is on the planet. When Kirk fires on the Romulan vessel, we think he killed Spock. Kirk takes an away team down to the planet via shuttle. This victory will be a hollow one if the Romulans get their hands on the Atlantean super weapon.
They land in a ruined alien city. It's a spectacular sight, revealed as they descend through the clouds of the atmosphere. Kirk and company catch up with the Romulans. With Spock's help, they overpower most of the Romulans, except for the Romulan Commander, who escapes. There’s some hand to hand combat, Kirk vs the Romulan Commander, Kirk is pretty angry about Pike’s death, but shows mercy in victory. Lucky for him, because once this concludes the planet unveils its secret . . .
There is no Space Atlantis super weapon. The Atlanteans never went extinct, they're still alive and here! They had simply moved on to “the next phase of their evolution” (Spock’s explanation in Star Trek I) and are omnipotent. They have no use for empire, and have retreated to this planet to explore the universe with their minds. They are far beyond this puny conflict between the Federation and the Romulans, but this alien incursion forces them to to intervene. Had Kirk killed the Romulan, these aliens would have annihilated the human race, but because Kirk showed mercy, they decide that there is hope for humanity after all. Instead, they will eliminate the Romulans. But Kirk saves the Romulan race by pleading for mercy (TOS "Arena"). The Atlanteans impose a truce like the Organians (at least within their system, TOS "Errand of Mercy") and send everyone on their way.
The movie ends on a positive note. A Romulan fleet is defeated by the Federation fleet off screen and the Romulans sue for peace. The Romulan Commander is replaced by a subordinate who earlier in the film, expressed skepticism about this entire endeavor. Kirk communicates with this man over the view screen. This new Romulan commander was both humbled by the Atlanteans and impressed by Kirk's mercy on the planet below. He thanks Kirk, smiles and says “one day" (TNG "The Chase").
Space, the Final Frontier . . . the Enterprise Warps away.

Re: What actors / characters / plots do you want to see in Star Trek X
Maybe I missed this being mentioned, but if Brad Pitt liked the movie, does anyone think there's a chance they could get him to be the next villain? Or would his paycheck be too great?
Either him, or maybe they could finally get Tom Hanks to be in a Trek movie. After all, they tried to get him to be Zefram Cochrane in First Contact, but he was busy directing That Thing You Do.
Plus, as for a plot I liked the mention of the Final Unity game, which if they weren't willing to do a TNG reboot or anything could probably be adapted for TOS. I personally would also like to see an adaptation of Federation and get the two crews in there again in a much better way then Generations!
