STXI begins in TNG era?

I'm a bigger fan of TNG than the rest of Trek but have watched and enjoyed the vast majority of all of its iterations. While I like GEN, each time I watch it the flaws and plot holes get worse and bigger. My favorite scenes in that particular film are at the beginning in the TOS/Movie era. With that mindset, I'm more excited to see the opening scenes of STXI, which are supposed to take place in TNG's era. I can't wait to see how JJA and friends bring their vision of the late 24th/early 25th century to the screen. What will those ships, architecture, uniforms, equipment, etc. look like? Will we see any familiar actors/characters besides Nimoy? How will Spock get to his younger self?

I'm not asking for spoilers here. I'm just wondering if anyone else shares my anticipation for this particular segment of the upcoming movie.

Are you serious? I thought this was going to be completely 23rd Century oriented. Why does this kind of stuff always have to happen?

Because it's funny. Just knowing how much the TNG parts of "TATV" from ENT royally pissed off so many ENT fans made it all worthwhile to me.

IF we see anything at all of the 24th century (which I pray to God JJ never gets the opportunity to pollute) , I'm sure it will just be Spock in a room, or on a ship, or maybe even on a viewscreen... I don't think we'd be treated to any 24th century ships... that might steal the show from the NX-1701.

Sorry, but Rick Berman stunk up the 24th century far more than JJ ever could...

No... he stunk it up, by merely farting on it a lot... JJ is gonna have violent explosive diarrhea all over it.

We'll definitely see Picard, Riker and the whole gang.. They're going to find Spock on Romulus reassembling the Rumulan senate after Shinzon did away with them. They'll find Kirk (played by Shatner) in the nexus and realise he wasn't dead after all and take him back to the 22nd century to save Trip Tucker from killing himself in that explosion. Then they'll hook up with Kirk in his academy days and we'll see him hanging around with Finnegan, Finney and Carol Marcus, who is now pregnant with David. They'll do an ultra sound and see the lilttle baby has a blond Jewfro. Then they'll take a trip through the Guardian of Forever (Joan Collins has a cameo) and see Robert April played by Tom Cruise hand over command to Captain Pike. Majel Barret will reprise her role as Number One. It is here that Captain Kirk learns he has a stunt double, who is an ensign aboard the ship. When he becomes captain he make him a lieutenent. Eddie Paskey plays his older and younger self. The two Lt. Leslies give him advice about how to save Captain Garrovick from the cloud monster and together they teach that Gorn how to dance the Macarena. There is a big musical number where Uhura does a naked fan dance and Sulu has a sword fight with a gigantic alien flying pancake. Chekov bumps into Khan while keeping him waiting to use the toilet. Khan really has to go but has to wait for Chekov to flush and when he does he says, "I will never for get your face." Chekov replies by saying "New Cleahh Wessuhls." No one knows what that means for 20 years. The Enterprise goes through a refit and is given a sombrero and vectoring nacelles. Shatner has another camer as a pair of pez despensers.
They meet some badass bald romulans with facial hair and skank tags on their faces. Old Spock and Young Spock have ponn farr and kill them all in their rage. Sisko comes out of the wormhole and smites them all. Trelane wets himself. The End.

They should make a crazy version like this just for fun...
I especially like Khan's "I never forget a face!!!"

Here's hoping JJ Abrams leaves a fresh mark and take on ALL Trek history

I mean it!

Why ruin the potential of a good Trek movie by putting Riker in it. No thanks.

 

[T'Cal]

Blasphemy!!

 

[Falcor5]

Why ruin the potential of a good Trek movie by putting Riker in it. No thanks.

If the movie would be ruined by a small cameo it must not have been very good to begin with...

 

[STIntergalactic]

Even though I know it's not going to happen, it'd be totally sweet if they did have the Titan in this movie. And it would be even cooler if they had the cast from the novels on there.

It really can't get any more awesomer than that.

Except if they opened a Rift In The Space Time Continuumuumuumuumm and Darth Vader comes though to teach Kirk to play Hot Licks on his Electric Guitar.....

That would make it so damn awesome my knees would explode in delight.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

Old Spock of the "Unification" era is one of the very few elements from TNG that interest me. I'm sure Abrams et al know better than to drag TNG back into the movie theaters, after the big stink it made with the last two movies.

 

[Jack Bauer]

No... he stunk it up, by merely farting on it a lot... JJ is gonna have violent explosive diarrhea all over it.

Let's hope so. The franchise could use some culling and get rid of the more annoying canonistas of fandom.

Now That would be awfully fanboyish. I have a friend of a friend who knows someone who's a shareholder for Viacom, so I know my story is absolutely true and what we should expect to see on the screen.

 

[ITL]

I..I...I...sorry. I pushed it too far, didn't I?

*shame*

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

I would be very surprised, shocked if we see Riker or the Titan in this film.

As I've stated before even should this movie begin in the 24th Century (I am at least fairly sure we'll catch a glimpse) chances are, it as well has been radically altered to conform to the design expectations of the new production team.

Sharr

Exactly.

There's no reason to expect to see anything familiar in the time of Spock's old age, certainly nothing at all of Starfleet.

[Sheridan]

At this point there's really no way we can now if we'll see the TNG era in this movie. I would think that it would be better that the TNG era is not shown at all in this movie since this movie is supposed to introduce a new generation to Star Trek so I think it would make it a little bit confusing to new audiences to show them the TNG era when the movie is primarily focused on the Kirk era. Also, I believe not showing the TNG era in this movie would allow greater flexibility and creativity in any future Trek movies/tv series if we ever return back to the TNG era.

 

[TeutonicNights]

Perhaps it will all be a holodeck simulation on the USS Titan. That would solve a lot of problems instantly, like the style changes.
Maybe that's what Orci once meant by preserving canon while having freedom.
Kirk might have been an inspiration for young Riker. Or maybe Old Spock shows Riker the truth about Kirk!

 

[Photoman15]

Since Spock will be living in an altered future, there might not be a Federation or Star Fleet. Vulcan may be a subject planet of the Romulan Star Empire. All TNG era surroundings, equipment, etc... may not exist.
