No time travel story for Trek XI...IMHO that is.

"You're kidding, right?"

Although I am not Captain59, I feel VERY safe in saying, yes he is kidding. "These Are The Voyages" gets very little love around here, dave_R_treker.

Brace yourself.

And take nothing seriously. Especially the stuff that people want you to take seriously.

Intriguing to hear Chris Pine let slip this about the script, in Titan's ST Magazine: "You get the birth, the childhood and beginning of the main characters before the Five-Year mission. That's what is going to be great. You get a sense where they came from and how they began."

So I'm beginning to doubt this will involve time travel. When the cast say they're sharing scenes with Nimoy, maybe he's there in spirit. Maybe a death bed Spock reminiscing about the past. He could be walking in and out of key scenes Rod Serling style...

^ Actually I'd like that Rod Serling device.

Sounds like JJ Abrams Superman script -- complete with Superman lifting up the couch to get his ball, and Mrs. Kent being propositioned by her landlord. These are the things of nightmares. Trust me, the JJ superman script is best read after many jugs of Romulan Ale, and possibly the green alcohol too.

Of course, Old Spock could just use the holodeck. It worked great for "These Are The Voyages," so why not Star Trek XI?

Young Kirk: "You made a time machine...out of the Enterprise?"

Spock: "The way I see it, if you going to build a time machine, why not do it with some style?!?!"

Finnegan: And uh, where's my level one diagnostic simulations?
Young Kirk: Uh, well, I haven't finished those up yet, but you know I... I figured since they weren't due till...
Finnegan (giving Kirk a noogie): Hello? Hello? Anybody home? Huh? Think, Kirk. Think! I gotta have time to get 'em retranscripted and cross-matched with my retina scan. Do you realize what would happen if I hand in my reports with your scan? I'll get kicked out of the Academy! You wouldn't want that to happen, would ya? Would ya?
Young Kirk: Of course not, Finnegan. I wouldn't want that to happen. Now, look. I'll finish those sims on up tonight and I'll run 'em on over first thing tomorrow. All right?
Finnegan (to David Marcus, standing there wearing a life preserver): What are you lookin' at, butthead?

Yea, but why did Old Spock throw the Heart of the Ocean Diamond off the side of the explorer ship? And didn't he feel guilty letting Leonardo DiCaprio drown like that? I mean wasn't there room on the huge door for both of them? Couldn't they have taken turns?

Young Kirk is going to draw a topless Spock?

Spock is going to go back in time and accidentally prevent his parents in the past from meeting each other and causing Amanda to fall in love with him. He then has to get Amanda together with the younger dorkier version of Surak and play his Vulcan lyre for them at the Vulcan ritual pon farr dance or else he'll never be born. Afterwards, Spock has to travel through the timestream and kidnap different figures from Federation history to take to Star Fleet Academy so he can give his excellent history report.

LOL!!!

That is EXACTLY what I thought, sort of a "Titanic" or even "Saving Private Ryan" flashback, albeit with it's own pacing, and relivant content. I think they could do it very classy if they think it out, and direct it right.
