Rumor of Spock in new movie??

[Trekkie2]

Yeah, Spock and Khan have an interesting history. I'm still pretty skeptical about another Khan movie, but if they're going to do it, I really think that Prime Spock should be a part of it.

I can see it:

nuKirk: Old Spock, how do I defeat Khan.

Old Spock: There's this completely dumbass chick with huge tata's. Her name is Marla McGivers. She goes for the muscle type. Dangle her in front of him. He'll go for that, you know, all tits, no brain, adoring type. Have her lure him to the transporter with the promise of a castle on the beach and a population to rule over. His minions will like that, they love to beat up women. Beam them all into outer space, and we won't ever have to be bothered by Carol Marcus and that little twit son of yours that causes future problems for me. Whatever you do, don't fight him hand to hand, he beats the shit out of you. Stick a bat in your pants and tell him you're happy to see him.

nuKirk: Sounds like a plan.

Mildly funny, actually.
But laughing about your own joke?

Actually, I'm laughing at the stupidity of the episode, (which for some stupid reason, I watched again) the movie, and the thought of Spock telling Kirk the best way to beat Khan. Of course, he's got freezer burn this time so it may be easier to defeat "Mighty Whitey." But I will remember next time, not to laugh at anything because.......laughing is not funny?

Spock Prime would be locked in a high security facility until his brain was drained...

In what 23rd century universe? The Mirror Universe?

The worst thing this movie could do is to have Prime Spock dying in NuSpock's arms. I would rather they rebooted Nemesis with a Reman NuKirk clone than that.

FFS, just let the old guy molder away on New Vulcan, drinking tea and dispensing wisdom.

Yup. FWIW there's two things I don't want to see:

1) Death of Spock Prime. Pointless.

2) Spock Prime turning into Obi Wan effing Kenobi.

Seems like Nimoy isn't in STXII after all: link

My feeling is they don’t need me. They’ve
got a wonderful cast. Zachary Quinto has
taken on the character of Spock and I think
he is wonderfully suited. He is a talented
guy. He is a very intelligent actor, very well
trained. They’ve got a great company of
people replacing all of us. I don’t think they
need me, frankly. It’s flattering to be talked
about, but I just don’t think they need me.

nooo! They need you Leonard, they need you!

 

[RoJoHen]

I don't think they need him, either, but Old Spock is around, and I want to see what he's up to. Is he an important player in the reconstruction of the Vulcan civilization, or is he just an old guy living out his days and trying to stay out of the spotlight? Either way, I just want to know how Spock's story ends.

If he dies again due to Khan, That would either be incredibly amazing, or incredibly insulting and stupid. There would be no in between. Tightrope walk!


But if the character of Khan and the Actor Nimoy are in the same movie, magical things could happen. Let's hope...

If it's incredibly insulting and stupid, then so is having Khan as the antagonist in the second film, just like in the original series.

No.

 

[Set Harth]

I guess that leaves "amazing".

I'm amazed at the staggering lack of originality.

Mission accomplished!

anyone have a feeling this movie will be even more divisive than the 2009 film? trek fans will either adore it or hate it i think.. i guess the same could be said for the 2009 film, but i think some of the *potential* haters were willing to give it more leeway since it was a brand new step in a new direction. This is going to be the movie that makes or breaks the new universe for many...

/captain obvious signing out


for the record, i would definitely be classified as a "hater" of 2009 trk, but im still going to give the sequel a fair chance

2009's "Star Trek" was no more "divisive" than any other Trek film. It was very well-received by fans and is generally liked. There's a small minority that disliked it(which is fine), but they're extremely vocal about it which makes it seem like there are more of them than there are.

I'm amazed how you can judge a movie you haven't seen yet, and whose plot is still essentially top secret, as lacking "originality".

And ironically, when it's also the twelfth in a series.

Exactly. This film is perhaps less divisive than all other successful ST films.

That assumes they're doing Khan.

Doing Khan is a lack of originality. A new villain would be - wait for it - original. Rehashing the antagonist of the most successful prior film in the franchise reeks of desperation and is certainly not a move worthy of great praise. It seems to say, "we got nothing".

But at least there's a lot of amazement going on.

I detect no desperation.
