The Sequel Hints for Improving Trek (S.H.I.T.) List
- Thread starter FabiusMaximus
- Start date
Fabius, I've amended your thread title (slightly) in an effort to reduce the likelihood of "S.H.I.T." being displayed prominently on the Main Index.
I'll also add this link to another thread in which are collected many suggestions/wants/ideas for the sequel movie:
What actors / characters / plots do you want to see in Star Trek XII?
The thread title reminded me of the campus sign at the entrance of the Springfield Heights Institute of Technology, shown in an old Simpsons episode. Naturally, you had to make the acronym for yourself. But I mean, come on, what alum wouldn't proudly wear a sweatshirt from old SHIT?

I would like to see Kirk and Co take on The Borg. But not the crappy borg we got in Voyager...more like the kind of borg we got in Enterprise: Regeneration. But not the typical Borg invasion story either.
1) I can understand Paramount balking at a whole new Engineering set, but at least put up some fake walls so it looks like something other than a big box, and maybe add some glowing warp cores in one part.
2) No revenge-motivated villains (didn't have a problem with it this time but that's it, I've reached my limit)
3) Give us a little wee hint of a sci-fi concept in the plot. I'm not talking Solaris here, I know Star Trek is mainly space adventure, but just a dash for seasoning.
4) Ditto on social commentary. Don't go to Picardian levels of preachiness, please, but a moral dilemma doesn't have to slow down the story if done well.
5) An alien we haven't seen in the movies yet. I mean come on, there's plenty of time for Klingons.
6) Spock's increased emotional control, a natural reaction to dealing with his loss, causes him to become distant from Uhura (not because I hate the relationship, but because I think it makes sense, and gives Zoe Saldana something to work with.)

Thankfully.
The audience isn't composed of "Trek fans" anymore.
Thankfully.
1. Engineering is cool, leave it alone. This is a matter of a bunch of people who expect Voyager-esque clean, central warp core, tiny engine rooms and they need to get over it.
2. Every single line of Scotty's should not be a joke, and his jar jar like sidekick should die in a transporter accident.
3. Please, a brand new adventure in this brand new universe. We are free from the shackles of continuity - LET'S NOT WASTE THIS OPPORTUNITY. The writers have done the impossible, brilliantly - given us a prequel where we don't know the outcome. No other franchise has ever had this without a complete do over. WE ARE LUCKY. Are we really going to blow it by re-doing Khan?

i dont see how they could even put klingons into the "refit" movies. i mean, do you make them look like the TNG klingons, so the new audience reconizes them, or use the TOS ones to keep with cannon?
Yeah, cut the comedy some with Scotty. As for the sidekick, he looks like he's already been thru one transporter accident ("Oh, my God. Don't worry Rand, it wasn't your fault.").
No need for it to happen again.

Can you explain what the lens flares are all about...every time I ask this question the thread gets buried and I never see the reply! What is the reason for it...?

Re: The S.H.I.T. List
For reasons of kewl I imagine
I think the flares are meant to be more naturalistic. Making everything just feel a bit more real. Some hate it, some barely noticed. I can take or leave it.

Re: The S.H.I.T. List
Well they didn't bother me...I was expecting to be really distracted the way everybody was talking about it....but realistic for whom...? The audience in the theatre??? I just don't understand the concept of that because aren't we supposed to be like flies on the wall and last time I checked flies normally don't carry around camera equipment which generates these lens flares....

I would like to see:
Kirk acting his age and position.
The Spock/Uhura thing ended.
Someone older than 25 having an important role in the story.
No more destroying fine classic cars.
More screen time for McCoy. He was great.
Engineering looking less like a cold storage warehouse.
Klingons, Andorians, and other aliens. No more Rommies for a while.
Other classes of ships explored in detail. Single engine destroyers for example.
Keep the planets kinda like they were in TOS. No sense in moving planets to other parts of the galaxy like they did with Delta Vega.
