STXI begins in TNG era?

Hehehehe.

Anyway, since Vulcans (even the half-blood) are supposed to age so much slower than humans, who's to say the later period featured in the film won't be appreciably later than the TNG era? Maybe the movie will be bookended by time frames we've never seen before.
 
I am hoping Spock is aboard the Titan for a diplomatic mission to Romulus after the events in Nemesis then for some reason he has to go back in time. Of course I doubt this will happen but it would be cool to see the Titan and a couple of familiar characters from the 24th century!
ok that is a bit of a fanish idea, but it could work.

I have wondered what time period the oldSpock will come from, and how much of that we will see, hell we could see him on the Enterprise F.

All that said I dont think we will see much of the time period Spock comes from, and if anything it will look more like Voyager or the Enterprise E, than the the Enterprise D.
 
so now everyone wants to state how easily and quick the status quo can be changed but if it's talk of a new series everyone says they can't do that cause it's the boring 24th century
 
We will see a reimagined, rebooted 24th century complete with a recast of the TNG character of Picard and Data in uniforms with tiny communicators printed on the fabric of their uniforms.
 
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?
Snip.

I wonder if they will redesign the TNG era, too. It does seem terribly 1980s, with the pajamas, gray/beige tones, and corporate approach to problem-solving. Plus those vacuum cleaners they used as weapons are pretty laughable to audiences today. This would be a good time to smooth out all the meaningless details on the hull of the Enterprise also.

Are you serious??

I cannot live without those meaningless details.

Hopefully Spock will no longer be wearing the robes from Unification. Jolan True, Spock of the 24th century, you pointy eared bastid. :techman:
More or less. ;)
 
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!

Sure, why not. It worked so well last time...

The E-F commanded by Captain Wesley Crusher, just like in the novel "ST:TNG: Imzadi"!!! That's the second best idea I've read here!

I dont think they will show another Enterprise in the movie as it may make people confused who are new to Trek and also they probably dont want to take away from the drama of seeing Kirks Enterprise for the first time later in the movie.
 
While the Wesley/E-F suggestion was a bit of sarcasm, I'm serious about wanting Riker and the Titan in it.
 
My guess is that we will start out with the Time-travelling Romulans already doing their dirty-work, and Spock along for the ride as a prisoner or something. Explanation told in flashback. Then he escapes, stops them, blah blah blah.

If we do see the 24th Century it'll probably only be on Romulus.
 
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 cameo 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.
^^
you forgot one important thing......

to be immediately followed by a new TV series based on said movie .....

Wasn't there a spoiler about old Spock being in a one man time ship? Or was that just some crazy non rumor rumor?
