Star Trek Sequel - Vulcan? [SPOILERS]

[Tuxedo Dragon]

Does anyone think they will find a way to save Vulcan in the second film? Either by going back in time and stopping Nero Shouldn't Spock Prime know the formula for going back in time? Or the more likely route they may take is that they find some sort of planet creating machine that creates a new Vulcan this would actually be quite interesting as most of the siting of Vulcan show a barren wasteland with a small population. Which would fit well with the creation of a new planet.

Don't mistake that I think they are planing this now but if they decide that Trek fans are unhappy with the destruction perhaps they will find some way to bring Vulcan back into existence. Personally I think at the very least the next film will have something to do with Vulcan or a Vulcan Colony I don't think they would dare destroying such a iconic part of Star Trek lore without addressing it with a story or something. Anyone have any thoughts or opinions on this.

I think this was boldest move by Abrams in making his timeline different from the timeline that we know. Think of all the things that change now! When Sarek becomes ill his wife will never be there with him-- who knows if Jean Luc-Picard will eve be born in this timeline? The future has been altered beyond repair. THIS is what makes THIS series new, fresh and unique. It was a balsy move that was extremely well executed (and I think, well received!)

That wasn't Spock's mom. In the TNG era Sarak married another human woman. Long after Amanda had died of old age. But who knows if that will happen in the new timeline, anyway.

The Vulcan population should be enough to continue the race on a new planet. By the 24th century the popuation will be in the millons.

 

[Kira's Mom]

Keep it dead. It sucks, but so does the reset button. Besides, this is just an alternative reality. Our Vulcan is still around. It has to be, or else Old Spock would have just vanished, right? (I hate temporal mechanics. -O'Brien).

I guess Tuvok would never have been born in this universe.

 

[FredH]

I want a sequel about them exploring something, but I'll be surprised if that ever happens again. As to Vulcan: no way.

 

[Agent Richard07]

I guess Tuvok would never have been born in this universe.

Umless his parents are among the 10,000 survivors.

 

[DiSiLLUSiON]

I hope they won't find the reset button again. Vulcan is gone, leave it at that.

 

[Flamegrape]

I really hate what they did with Vulcan and Spock's mom. During the last half of the movie I was waiting for them to go back in time and stop it from happening. When the movie ended, I was stunned. I couldn't believe what happened. It completely overshadowed my enjoyment of what was otherwise an excellent movie.

 

[DataRules]

I guess Tuvok would never have been born in this universe.

Umless his parents are among the 10,000 survivors.

I thought about this too. I wonder if this means no Voyager either.

 

[Tralah]

Tuvok was apparently born on the Vulcanis Lunar Colony according to Voyager, so his parents very well could have already been living there at the time Vulcan was destroyed, so I think the character could definitely still be around. His wife however might not have been, so there's a possiblity that the Tuvok in this timeline could have quite the different outcome.

 

[tank]

Old Spock could possibly spark the Re-unification movement 100 years early in order to save the Vulcan race. If they re-integrate with Romulan society they could both benefit, and start working a century and ahlf early to save the Romulan sun from going nova.

Plus-- imagine how cool a Romulan villian could be if he had the emotions and logic of a Vulcan.

 

[miraclefan]

I'm very happy with this outcome. Now we wont see remakes of STAR TREKS II, III, IV! As to the future & a possible reset button, NO! let Vulcan stay space debris. I belive now there is a unlimited possibility of new stories for the writers to tell.

 

[Nebula1400]

I really hope Vulcan isn't brought back. The destruction of Vulcan can lead to so many deeper, more character-driven stories that could not have existed before. Because many of us grew up (and many of us grew old) with Star Trek and all the mythology around Vulcan, it has the potential to make the grieving process for Spock and other characters much more vivid, because we can understand that grief as well.

 

[c0rnedfr0g]

^^^ Agreed. By comparison, in Star Wars the destruction of Alderaan meant very little to the audience since it was essentially a planet in name only.



I wonder how the Andorians will react to the destruction of Vulcan.

 

[alienFanatic]

Vulcan is gone. There is no way they'd restore it. Period.

I think it will be VERY interesting, though, now that they've established a relationship between Uhura and Spock, to see if they use the repopulation of Vulcan as a wedge issue for the couple. Remember, there are only 10,000 Vulcans left, so repopulation of the species will be a high priority, don't you think? With Vulcan biology pretty much intact I wonder if they'll get into the goofy Pon Far stuff or if we'll see the Vulcans resort to in-vitro fertilization or even surrogates

Okay that was silly. They'll probably ignore that issue and go blow something else up real good.

 

[perigee]

Klingons. Big, Motherhonking, 6'5" ,300 pound bodybuilding badass ridgyheaded Klingons.Lots of 'em. Anything less is Simply Not Acceptable.

 

[Borgminister]

No shark-jumping!

 

[Maxillius]

Welp, no one mentioned it yet, so I will. Vulcans create the Genesis Torpedo. But instead of a nebula, they plan to detonate it near Romulus. A time-travelling Will Riker comes back, finds nothing how it should be, lets it happen, saying, "Never did like Romulans anyway."

 

[PorthosShadow]

I have faith in JJ Abrams that he will not hit the reset button willy nilly. Granted he sort of used the reset button to put Star Trek in a new alterate reality that doesn't violate continuity so he or anyone else in the future is free do something different. I'm fairly certain Vulcan will not be back and this is just pure speculation on my part but the destruction of a major Federation planet could have repercussions that set up a sequel.

 

[T'Bonz]

Yep. I wondered if all remaining Vulcans would be encouraged to uh, be fruitful and multiply greatly. I expect they would encourage them to have babies with other Vulcans, not humans and other races to build the Vulcan race back up.

So I thought, "Well I wonder if that is the end of Spock-Uhura?" Wouldn't it be a kick if T'Pring survived and they paired them up again?

Yeah, I have a twisted mind.

I think it will be VERY interesting, though, now that they've established a relationship between Uhura and Spock, to see if they use the repopulation of Vulcan as a wedge issue for the couple. Remember, there are only 10,000 Vulcans left, so repopulation of the species will be a high priority, don't you think? With Vulcan biology pretty much intact I wonder if they'll get into the goofy Pon Far stuff or if we'll see the Vulcans resort to in-vitro fertilization or even surrogates

Promiscuity--it is only Logical.

 

[Zachary Smith]

Dare I suggest this: with this new and drastically altered time-line, it's very possible, in fact even LIKELY that Kirk NEVER enters the Nexus. So we COULD see Shatner in the next film as an older Kirk . . . easily.
