That would certainly be a good aspect to a series. There'd have to be a lot of other missions going on as well, because you'd play out the various practical dramatic approaches to "lost colony" stories pretty quickly otherwise.
Why "Star Trek" is not right...
- Thread starter Captain Mike
- Start date
That's just your premise, something that would manifest a couple of times a season - but now you have a very valid reason for the , say, USS Intrepid to be out there looking around the frontier. Build up some of Trek's lore (from a fresh angle) as you go, particularly the Preservers, Vulcan Mythology.. and, eventually, the Romulans. And all along the way, out of logical necessity, it's the Humans who get to uncover all of Vulcan's deep, dark secrets.
Sounds good to me.
Continuity doesn't trouble me one way or another. Simply, as I said, there's no reason to - most people don't care, and Vulcan doesn't buy you anything storywise. The producers would really have to want to do a plot that makes Vulcan terribly useful - and there's not one, really. Who does Vulcan matter to?

Yeah, Spock didn't mind that the planet and 99.9999% of the people went bye-bye. Didn't matter to him in the least.
If they come up with a story that requires Vulcan, use Vulcan. If they need Amanda, use Amanda. If they require Nero to be an Andorian,then paint him blue. As far as the characters should be concerned nothing has happened previously. Where they are at the start of the movie is all that counts. Kirk's a captain, who cares about his daddy issues, bad boy childhood or any of that. Just tell a story and don't worry about continuity, canon, continuing storylines or any of that.

Spock doesn't care about anything. He's fictional. I'm talking about the audience - you know, real people who pony up the money to keep this Franchise going.
But hey, go for it - write some fan fiction or something. They've got no reason to resurrect Vulcan in the movies...but if they were to do so, I wouldn't blink twice. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

The audience would probably like to see some giant robts like Transformers, a nude scene by one or more of the female cast members and a long car chase. Find a bunch of popular parts of other movies and toss well.
We care about Spock because we empathize with him. We feel bad for him because we know how we would feel in a similar situation (broadly speaking of course). If Spock didn't care about Vulcan being destroyed and Amanda dying, why should I?

Seriously, explain it to me.

He's emotionally compromised, Jim. But you do care, that's why you want to see it magically come back.

Boredom and closeness.
yeah, by a supernova. which will also destroy life in a radius of at least 10,000ly, otherwise it doesn't deserve the "super". federation, klingons, cardassians, all gone within the next few centuries.
I don't fink so. When T'Pol took Trip there it was gruesome. Just because a species evolves to live on a planet that becomes progressively more and more hostile doesn't mean that it's a great place to live. Like the Klingons, the Vulcans seem to revel in the hostility of their planets, when in truth they should be drooling in envy at the sheer luxuriousness of Earth.

My last working brain cell just vomited.Oh my God, they killed Vulcan! You bastards!!!
Goin' down to South Trek, gonna have myself a time...
Reset buttons everywhere, canonistas without documentation...
Should have been "Boredom and cussedness."
One thing I don't love about smartphones is the "autocorrect" feature.
Re: Differences between FC/INS Sovereign & NEM Sovereign?
And Spock stopped it just after Romulus was destroyed, saving the rest of the galaxy. I can see why Nero might think that Federation-representative Spock delayed on purpose.

Re: Differences between FC/INS Sovereign & NEM Sovereign?
Do supernovae blast out in a spherical blast or is the radiation more directed? If its spherical then Spock's actions before he was sucked into the wormhole were negligable and everybody else would have been doomed a few days later. One would have thought that other Federation scientists were carrying out simultaneous action in different locations but of course that just makes it even more unlikely that Spock was the one that Nero stumbled across.
