Before I was open to the idea of some of the old crew making cameos but with the slight problems trek is in because of constant director change and script and how some fans want Frakes to return has got me thinking.
I dont want Star Trek 3 to have anything to do with old trek and that means, I dont want a shatner cameo, a nimoy cameo or a plot that is similar to old trek and frakes as a director.
Star trek has to move forward and not keep looking back and taking a piece of the past with them, to me personally it is not just good for the franchise.
Why must the old casts make cameos anyway, why must we get an old director who only directed one great trek film nearly 20 years ago?
the whole purpose of NU trek was to be a reboot set in an ALTERNATE UNIVERSE where anything goes and more importantly the fate of this new crew is not dependent on what happened to them in their past lives which is why the rehash of kirk dying like spock dying in STID made little sense to me.
I believe star trek 3 should BOLDLY move forward and not look back. to me enough is enough. I tend to think people some want Frakes back for Nostalgic reasons but logically Egdar is the better choice. he is more experienced, he is very critically acclaimed and can handle big budget films and that is why I am putting nostalgia aside and choosing him over Frakes.
no more rehashes and no more of the those in control feeling obligated to put the past actors in the new films except maybe for Nimoy because he played a great part and TOS Spock was very important in star trek 2009 but there is no reason for TOS Kirk or TOS sulu or TOS uhura to make appearances in trek 3 or for Frakes to direct just because he directed one good film like I said...20 years ago.
Its time to move forward. in every possible way and that includes not hiring an old director like Frakes when there are so many modern talented directors out there and yes not bringing the great Shat back.
If Micheal Keaton can let batman go and let other actors like Bale and Affleck have their shot then so can Shanter. He too should let Kirk go and let Chris Pine have his shot without Shatner stealing his thunder.
Trek should learn from MCU, Apparently if Marvel gets the rights back to spiderman, they are going to let go of Andrew Garfield and Webb's spiderman films and start fresh and not look back to any of the old films and this is one of the reasons why MCU has been so successful.
DC has even done the same with batman, the nolan trilogy is done and dusted and is in its own self contained alternate universe and now they are starting all over again with ben affleck as batman who will be in DC's cinematic universe.
Trek must follow the same lead. Its gets very frustrating when comic films are using the alternate universe theory a lot better than a great sci fi franchise like star trek.
