Things you wouldn't like to see return for a sequel

I do not get this with people thinking Gaila is chubby.

If she is, then she's chubby in a good way! :drool:

As for Gaila not being as exotic or seductive as most Orion girls: Not all aliens of a race are the same. Maybe Gaila is rebelling against that part of Orion culture. She probably has to take 'inhibitors' which prevent her from working that magic, so she can function in Federation society. (Kind of like how Deltans have to take an oath of celibacy, as shown in TMP.)

I second that :bolian: me and the significant other are now fans of Gaila :)

As for time travel, I echo hopes that it won't appear, but I don't think it will, since I reckon the time travel has to be used in this film to 'pass the torch' to the reboot/reimagining/insert applicable description, if that makes any sense, and now that the new universe has been established as an independent presence, it can get on with stories soley within itself.
 
Trans warp beaming. The transporter has and will always be a problem in Star Trek. Its a plot shortcut that stretches reality and eliminates tension (since the hero's can just be beamed out if anything gets too perilous). I liked the way they were handling the transporter up until Spock giving Scotty that formula. They built a thrilling sequence out of the unbelievable difficulty is to "catch" someone as they fall through the air. The idea that sudden movement, like the ground giving way under your feet will foul it up. One of my favorite bits in all of Star Trek happened in the TMP, the transporter malfunctions and kills someone. That's to me how the transporter should be handled all the time: as an imperfect last resort that might kil you --or worse. I don't like the idea of Scotty suddenly having a formula that makes it easier and safer. Oh, and anyone arguing that Gaila is chubby is either jealous, anorexic or gay... or a hypocrite (you fat bastard).
 
The Bridge looking a little less like my local Apple Store.

Somehow getting the orginal refit Enterprise design back. Still the best design out there.

No more pulsing Phasers.
 
For the love of God, can we just do away with the shakey camera work?!
It looks like they gave a small camcorder on extreme zoom, handed it to a toddler and told them to run towards the set. It is not exciting, it's sickening! Remember how good the first Borne movie was? Remember how the second wasn't quite as good because of all the camera shaking. The third movie had entire scenes that could not be followed because it was all just a shakey blur. They completely ruined that franchise. Are you listening to me Jar Jar Adams....I mean JJ Adams? Grrrrrr!
Sorry, thanks for letting an old man vent.
Perhaps I should just go watch Matlock and drink some Metamucil.
 
I wouldn't like to see a ship like the Kelvin because it WASN'T TOS-like. Part of the idea behind the Trek universe ship designs is that is supposed to take two nacelles to generate a warp bubble around the ship. The Kelvin only had one. Not to mention, it just looked stupid.
 
- Red matter
- Lens flares
- Modern songs
- Comedy lines that undercut dramatic scenes
- Genocide
- Use of "destiny" to explain countless convenient coincidences
 
Less lens flares (a few thrown in are ok, but not every shot).
No time travel pu-leeeze~
Less tight shots so we can see more of the action during fights etc.

and most importantly, we must see more of the men in their underwear. This is simply a must.
 
I simply do not want to see another movie where every last single man makes it completely through with his shirt(s) intact.

IMHO, the presence of pristine uniform shirts is completely gratuitous, and adds nothing to the plot or character development.
