Spoilers STAR TREK BEYOND

[Kemaiku]

I'm hoping the Enterprise has had further refits to turn it into this:

Don't hold your breath. The Omaze charity videos have shown that the interior is virtually unchanged, and if you look closely at the background graphics the nacelles and pylons are the same shape they were in ST and ID.

Good, good.

The Omaze charity videos have shown that the interior is virtually unchanged,

Bummer. Are we at least getting multi-vector assault mode?

 

[Khan 2.0]

Fantastic 4s tagline. Looks familiar
Beyond darkness... beyond fear... lies the fantastic.

STID
Beyond the darkness, lies greatness.

 

[Crazy Eddie]

Tagline for TWOK was "Beyond the darkness lies Vengeance"

And realizing that, I really wish STID had gone with its original title "Star Trek: Vengeance"

 

[Quinton O'Connor]

Maybe Orci's ST3 would've carried on themes, some loose ends, characters etc from STID (guess we'll have to wait for IDW to an adaptation of what was planned - 'Beyond Darkness'?)

I think we'll still see a bit of that in Beyond. It may well be that there have been some conscious decisions to separate the pic from its predecessor in light of newly-perceived avenues ("make this more like GOTG," etc) but it'll still be the third flick in an ongoing series, and I don't foresee it truly avoiding references in the way that TWOK sort of did with TMP, or TUC did with TFF.

ID was relatively well-received overall and made an appreciable sum of coin. It ain't no bomb.

Still, having Gatt and then axing Gatt does suggest the potential for a pretty clear message.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Sounds like they ditching anything STID related. (maybe no reference to anything STID related as TWOK/TMP, TUC/TFF)

Because a background extra didn't get rehired? I'm thinking, no.

 

[Quinton O'Connor]

Yeah, it's a big stretch, I agree. Regardless of what I just said, I agree.

 

[Tosk]

Oh no! I wonder if the Security Officer played by Heather Langenkamp will be back! Or what about the guy who walked past in the background during the scene in engineering?

If there's no Cupcake in it, I'm soooo boycotting the movie.

And this time he'll have a full head of gorgeous hair.

 

[Quinton O'Connor]

I always wind up thinking Cupcake doesn't make it off of Qo'nos until proven otherwise. I don't know why. Same with that other fellow.

 

[Hartzilla2007]

Probably because they seem to disappear after the shooting starts.

 

[F. King Daniel]

The black guy bites it in a deleted scene, but Cupcake just... vanishes.

*Cue Kirk doing the Home Alone "OMG!" scene about Cupcake*

 

[Mudd]

Dumping a walk-on like Gatt tells you nothing about the relationship of this script to STID.

STID was not a fanfic script; even the script to Fantastic Four is head and shoulders above fanfic.

 

[Khan 2.0]

anyone like to see something of a mini sequel to STID in the form of a pretitles opening sequence of the end of TWOK redux (like The Terminator redone opening at start of Genisys) a burned bloodied Cumberbatch on damaged Reliant activating Genesis in the heart of a nebula. Ent warps away as Khan goes boom, no dead spock obviously. Credits start STAR TREK BEYOND

 

[mos6507]

STID is riddled with elements that are common in fan-fic. Gratuitous cameos that barely serve the plot (Nimoy), titillation (Alice Eve), slash romance between leads that don't really need to be hooked up (Spock/Uhura), jukebox homages to Trek's greatest hits (Kirk dies instead of Spock, Khaaan!), etc...

 

[Nerys Myk]

Titillation is common across all forms of entertainment and especially Star Trek. Not really a fanfic thing. The Spock Uhura romance is a carry over from the previous film. Star Trek loves it's gratuitous cameos ( see any appearance by Chapel or Rand)

 

[Mudd]

Evaluating commercial entertainment from the perspective of fanfic and looking for the "influence" of the latter is looking through the wrong end of the telescope - sheer idiocy.

This.

I like to jump in anywhere I can get the chance to say once again, "Bless you, William Theiss."

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

slash romance between leads that don't really need to be hooked up (Spock/Uhura)

uh...Spock/Uhura is not slash.

I'd name my first kid after you if it wasn't decades too late. Maybe in an alternate timeline.
