What Is or Might The Next Movie Be About?

[Riley]

I'd go for something yet to be done with these films: instead of ripping off TOS films, take a few TOS episodes and toss 'em in the blender!

Elba's Daystrom is aboard the Enterprise (at a starbase, NOT Earth!) to test the M-5, the ultimate computer. The damned thing malfunctions and locks the ship into maximum warp, and then beyond maximum warp, taking the Enterprise where no man has gone before.

Scotty and Daystrom get the Enterprise out of warp, though the ship is now in truly uncharted territory. A solitary planet awaits, devoid of life but for one pocket of the perfect nitrogen/oxygen atmo.

The ship is hailed by a voice announcing the name of the planet, Gothos, and inviting the crew to join its squire, Trelane, for entertainment in his castle. The crew is beamed down, and find the mysterious Trelane, played by Ricky Gervais.

If the next movie is the last one (which I give 50-50 odds, since I'd bet the cast wants to move on to other challenges), my vote would be for the Talosians to be the antagonists. There's a certain poetry in the very *last* story being related to the very *first* that was ever produced.

They were considering having at least a Talosian cameo in STID, to the point they even built a mock-up bust to demonstrate the redesigned Talosian makeup.
