Actors/characters/plots/ships/etc. you want to see in Star Trek XII?

Re: Would anyone like to see T'Pol in the next movie?

TEN thousand.

and according to Orci those are not the ones off world.

I was wondering about that. Wouldn't there be 10,000 Vulcans on Earth alone? Capitol of Starfleet and the Federation, and all that. 10,000 isn't that many, really....

Since Enterprise made the augment virus canon...

Does that mean we'll see the ridgeless klingons in the next trek movie, should they make an appearance?

I liked season 4 of enterprise, but I kinda hope abrams ignores that little bit, i prefer the ridges.

Re: Since Enterprise made the augment virus canon...

They already have an out, albeit a cheesy one. IIRC, Phlox said a certain percentage of the population would be affected, not all. So, by sheer dumb luck, all the Klingons we saw in TOS were infected.

Re: Since Enterprise made the augment virus canon...

If you take into account the book StarTrek Excelsior "Forged in Fire" (yes I know its not canon, buts look at it anyways) not all Klingons suffered from the augment virus. So there were some that still had there ridges.

Re: Since Enterprise made the augment virus canon...

I think you can count on Abrams ignoring pretty much anything so that he can tell whatever story he has in mind, for better or for worse.

Re: Since Enterprise made the augment virus canon...

Actually, as a result of Nero's alternate reality, the Klingon virus can be ignored. And should be. As much as I liked ENTERPRISE's final season, I thought that virus thing was kinda silly. It was a case of the writers trying to hard.

Well I can understand if you didn't like it, but I'm afraid it can;t be ignored - Nero arrives several decades after the events of ENT's 4th season.

The whole season 4 was trying too hard. By that point they knew for sure it was the last and had free reign apparently. It was basically fanwank at the highest level trying to explain everything that "needed" official explaining and including characters from all over the franchise.. it was professionally done fanfic all through the season.

And then they went and pissed all over it with the last episode by basically leaving it ambiguous if it really was canon or just a popular holoprogram enjoyed by Riker

Why not finally show a Klingon ship that has some of both?

Re: Since Enterprise made the augment virus canon...

I always remembered TATV as being so bad, I actually rewatched it yesterday and it wasn't that bad. The only thing I disliked about it was Trip dying. The other thing was that it took place during "The Pegasus". Why couldn't it have taken place post-Nemesis on the USS Titan?

Although I'd agree the augment virus was trying to hard, it's canon now. So it's canon we have Ridged and Ridgeless Klingons.

Re: Since Enterprise made the augment virus canon...

You mentioned the one thing I hated the most about the Berman/Braga era. They felt the need to explain everything. All because of one dorky DS9 episode where they redid Trouble with Tribbles, did they even need to explain this.

You know what the explanation for the ridgless Klingos is? It's the fact that they were on a television show with a shoe string budget.

They never explained how the Romulans went from a race that was indistinguishable from Vulcans, to the TNG where they look like a cross between a neanderthal and an elf.

 

[theFirebottle]

Re: Since Enterprise made the augment virus canon...

There's no real reason the past of this alternate reality has to be the same as the past of the prime reality.

I hope they ignore the shitty parts of ENT, fix what can be fixed, and flesh out the good parts. That's what reboots are supposed to do, so why not?

Please don't say "Berman/Braga" since Braga had nothing to do with this. Since Braga was never involved with DS9, the thing in Trials and Tribble-Ations is not his fault. And it was Manny Coto who decided to explain the matter in Enterprise's fourth season. Braga had no involvement in that episode, no input, no nothing.

If you want to hold onto your hatred of the man four years after he left Trek, that's your thing, but please only blame him for things he actually was involved in.

Re: What actors / characters / plots do you want to see in Star Trek X

They explore a strange new world.

Kirk, Spock, and McCoy beam down to a planet.

Spock scans something with a tricorder.

There is a fascinating, intelligent science fiction idea that touches on social issues and the big philosophical questions. Who are we? Why are we here? How does the universe work?

Phasers are fired.

Kirk cons someone or something.

They fight Klingons.

Remove the dang vanity mirror lights from the bridge stations, and put chairs behind those hostess stands.

Add a couple of strong and interesting female characters. If they are hot, that's fine, too.

Loads of nifty easter eggs.

If none of that happens, and the script is strong, I'm fine.

I said the Berman/Braga ERA, which Enterprise was a part of. And he certainly was part of the problem in feeling the need to explain everything.

Braga is a talented guy, and I like some of the stuff he did in 24 this last season, but that doesn't make him immune from criticism.

Secondly, I never said I hated Braga, personally. I said I hated his era of writing. Enterprise started out well enough, but quickly went downhill after that.

Bottom line is the whole Kilgon issue needed no explanation. Maybe Braga wasn't involved in those stories, but he certainly was involved in others that needed no explanation. One story that he had direct involvement with, was the explanation of the Vulcan mind meld, which in my mind was the most garbage piece of writing on the entire Enterprise run.

Re: Since Enterprise made the augment virus canon...

Braga tends to get an unfair amount of criticism. He made plenty of mistakes, but a lot of the things he gets blamed for were actually the fault of the studio or the network.

Actually, as a result of Nero's alternate reality, the Klingon virus can be ignored. And should be. As much as I liked ENTERPRISE's final season, I thought that virus thing was kinda silly. It was a case of the writers trying to hard.

Everything that happened in the Trek universe before 2233 happened in both timelines. It's not a completely alternate universe, it's a split timeline that diverges on 2233.04.

But they'd still ignore it if they felt like they could tell a better story without it, I guess. Personally, I think it'd be kinda cool if they kept the "current" Klingons looking like they did in TOS.

I think we film two, Kirk should meet Carol Marcus.

braga to a degree was still involved in the show even though coto was the day to day show runner.
