V'Ger

Would love to hear the "conversation" between V'ger and The Borg over assimilation...
 
Actually it funnier if instead, at the heart they found USS Voyager from the Prime universe.
 
I would just request that if they do Veej, they try really really hard not to fanwank it into a Borg probe. Please, guys?

*distant sound of writers laughing*
They already did that in STO. Half their audience will be expecting that.

Actually it funnier if instead, at the heart they found USS Voyager from the Prime universe.
That's not actually a bad idea. Would be a hell of a plot twist, although justifying it would be incredibly difficult.
 
Given Voyager's emergence at the end of Endgame and V'ger being a Borg probe, the heart of it seems quite a natural spot for Janeway to put her ship.

And if Admiral Janeway happens to be still on board, Kirk will be happy to have another rogue Admiral with a hefty ship to deal with.
 
Take one of a dozen failed attempts to get back to the Alpha Quadrant, and you have the potential for Janeway's ship falling into a black hole and coming out were the Prime Universe's Voyager 6 ended up. Janeway's crew is perhaps killed by radiation and the machines try to figure out USS Voyager from the computers. Probably mash up some things from the main computer, captain's log and other entry (perhaps even have issue with the Doctor and 7of9's remaining Borg bits.) And simply build a better ship around the crippled Voyager to fulfill its two goals. The ship was built as an explorer, so it would follow the Starfleet motto to seek out new live forms and all that...but also follow Janeway's mission...to get back home. (If Katie is hot stuff now, imagine V'ger using her image in place of the Doctor's to communicate instead of Ilia.

Because things are not equal, V'ger N'656 heads for home...at the wrong time and in the wrong universe. Stuff happens and by the time it gets to Klingon Space, it has the massive cloud for reasons. Its weapons, regardless of it they are upgraded by the machine race, would easily be 100 years better than anything the Klingons or Starfleet has. Remember what USS Defiant NCC-1764 could do to NX-01 era ships. Now image the same thing happening from USS Voyager to the Constitution era.

Depending on just what tech difference the new films have verses a Prime Universe Voyager remade for a new film V'Ger.
 
Only if we're talking about the payoff is it being an old Plymouth Voyager, this time.

And it's returning to the Creator only because it was recalled ;)

"Where is the Creator?"
"The Creator is no more. They're Chrysler now."

*Earth is destroyed*
 
Wow, it's been a while since I've posted here, so bare with me. Right now I'm doing something that I've never actually done before. I'm going to watch all the Star Trek movies from the beginning to the end. I'm watching The Motion Picture currently and something dawned on me in regards to the reboot. V'Ger. I am assuming that in this alternate universe V'Ger is still the same V'Ger that we all know and love. V'Ger was tricked for lack of a better word, but not defeated as we all know. It should be just as powerful as it was in prime universe. With all of that said, isn't it safe to say that in the alternate universe, meeting up with V'Ger is unavoidable? If so, do you think a movie will be made about V'Ger in the alternate universe and would you like to see one made?? I'm just curious to other people's thoughts about V'Ger as it relates to a possible movie made in the alternate universe.

I think TMP would have been a different proposition if it were directed by Ridley Scott or Stanley Kubrick. Anything where it's not so much about action or even the dialogue, you need the film to be an atmospheric experience. Wise, god bless him, was maybe not the best choice.

In any case, I was disappointed that Voyager didn't encounter "the Machine Planet". That civilization obviously has extraordinary technology. What do they think of the Borg. Would they think 7 of 9 needs full machine conversion? Interesting possibilities, but alas...it didn't happen.

Stopping things like V'Ger, the Doomsday Machine, and the Whale Probe are a key part of the Legend of Kirk, so I certainly hope they are not scrubbed from his future. But except for the D-Day Machine, those things are not in his immediate future. So the next movie doesn't have to involve any of that.

Ilia and Decker can certainly appear. They should both be in Starfleet.
 
It is still about 13 years before those events would happen from were we last saw Kirk and his Enterprise.
