star trek 13 Borg

[TheSubCommander]

It's a good thing they rebooted Star Trek so we can have new, fresh ideas like Khan and the Borg.

I know, right?

That's literally one of the stupidest complaints I have ever, ever heard in regards to a reboot.

A reboot by its very nature is going to feature characters that were already previous in the original works.

The only time one would have a valid complaint is when one would tell an event exactly as it already occurred. So far no matter what people believe no events that I can recall are carbon copies from the prime universe events. Not a one.

Of course that doesn't mean different is good, but it does mean complaining about a race or a person, who was a part of the prime universe, is utterly stupid.

I would hope that adults would be above such behavior, but of course one knows better.

No, the stupidest complaint is from those who complain about past Trek movies and series not being original enough, rehashing old ideas we've seen before, aping or relying on Star Trek 2 too much, or ripping on Voyager because they used the Borg too much, yet fully support, in fact are apologists for JJ Abrams using Khan and DIRECTLY lifting lines from the original Khan movie. That is the stuff of apologists, which I hope doesn't include you.

Abrams has a blank slate and full reign and license to take Star trek into new and uncharted territory, and even isn't hindered by previous canon because its a totally new timeline.

I really hope this rumor is a bad internet rumor. Abrams was hired to bring fresh new ideas to the Star Trek franchise, not simply rehash old ideas and "Abramsize" them. So far, in my book, he is 1-1. Loved Trek 2009, disgusted by STID. The guy is a directing and FX genius, but needs the story worthy of those talents. Give us a new villain, not the Borg or the Klingons, PLEASE. Or they might as well bring back B&B and the Prime universe.

It is. And the OP probably started it right here and now, because if you look at this previous posts, it's full of stuff like this, wondering about alternate stories with Borg, Dominion and more.

There have been a lot of rumors that the Borg will be the Villains in the next star trek film.

Considering the movie is only in the earliest stages of pre-production, I wouldn't give any weight to these rumors.

Excuse me, but at the same stage of pre-production for ST: Darkness there were already rumors about the inclusion of Khan.

So maybe you should be giving this rumor some weight.

I'm giving these rumors the same amount of weight as I gave the Khan rumors, none. At this point in development the writers themselves probably don't know what they're doing, especially since the writers were only signed on a few weeks ago.

At this point in production the Khan rumors were unsubstantiated fan speculation. Given that the OP hasn't responded to the requests to provide a source for these rumors, that gives these Borg rumors even less substance than Khan.

This thread is better suited to the Future of Trek forum. Xzpezer, you've started several threads in the wrong forums. In the future please remember that this is a big board, and topics that are this specific usually have a better place to go than General Trek Discussion.
