Will any TNG era Characters appear in the movie? (spoilers?)

Maybe Spock will be on board the Titan for a diplomatic mission to Romulas after the events of Nemesis. Then Riker gets a message about the attack on the Guardian of forever and the Titan with spock aboard races to the scene. After arriving Spock beams down while the Titan battles to try and reason with the Romulans and he ends up having no choice but to go back in time to save the timeline.

I'd LOVE that! It doesn't have to be a very long scene, but it would be so nice to give at least Riker a proper send off after what they did to him in TATV.

And it would show the non-fan-movie-goer where we are in this particular moment in time, the 24th century. Assuming that they know who Riker is, but I think he's pretty popular among the general public. It would be a nice opportunity to make it clear to everyone that Spock is traveling from the TNG era to the TOS era.

TNG Era characters to be in "Star Trek":

James T. Kirk (ST Generations, died in the 24th century)
Mr. Spock (TNG Unification parts 1-2, Ambassador in the 24th century)
Dr. McCoy (TNG Encounter at Farpoint, Starfleet Admiral in the 24th century)
Scotty (TNG Relics, Acting Captain USS Jenolan, Captain USS Goddard)
Mr. Sulu (VOY Tattoo, and Flashback, Captain USS Excelsior)
Sarek (TNG Unification part 1)

Obviously you don't understand this thread properly. They aren't MAIN characters in the TNG era are they. They had 1 or maybe 2 episode cameos... you say it like we all didn't know that Captain Kirk died in Generations or that Spock appeared in TNG etc. c'mon man...

Here's the thing, if the story calls for a ship to transport Spock, then why not make it one fans know and one commanded by a familiar character? It takes nothing away from the general audience as they will see peripheral characters (nothing negative there) while we the fans see continuity and a friendly face (high cool factor). Riker and the Titan would be my choice, too.

I think it's probably just that a little reference goes a long way... if they start loading up on other characters too it'll probably be a bit much.

Ya this was my thinking as well. It would just be a nice nod to long time fans where the new comers may or may not recognize the characters. If they do recognize the characters then great if they dont then they wont know they are even missing anything. Its not like I am expecting a long winded scene where they discuss stuff from past episodes that will confuse new comers.

 

[Matt]

The characters I listed ARE TNG era characters because they appeared on the TNG era shows. Period.

In fact, I left out Trials and Tribble-ations. ALL of the TOS crew was present, minus one Hikaru Sulu.

 

[Kirk the Jerk]

Well aren't you Mr. Cloggs, Clever! IN FACT i do believe that this thread is aiming at the MAIN characters of TNG, I Don't care what you say:

James T. Kirk
Mr. Spock
Dr. McCoy
Scotty
Mr. Sulu

Are, and will ALWAYS be classed as TOS Era, Contray to what you may or may not believe. So is Q from Voyager then? Because that's where he was last seen, Yeah he appeared in TNG & DS9 but was on Voyager last, so he must be from Voyager/DS9 era.

 

[Matt]

Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Sulu, Chekov, Uhura, Sarek, and others are both TOS and TNG ERA characters, just as Janeway is a VOY and TNG character, appearing in both Voyager and Nemesis, just as Picard is a TNG and DS9 character.

Quit acting dumb. That's the kind of crap that gives Trekkies a bad name.

Julian Bashir is tied for being the most era and series diverse character in all of Trek, as he appears in the TOS era, TNG series, and DS9 series. He is matched by Miles O'Brien, who also appeared in the TOS era, TNG, and DS9.

Okay, even by that definition, Sulu and Uhura aren't TNG era characters, as irrelevant as your definition is. I think the thread is aiming at the chronology of the Trek universe, in which case none of those except maybe Spock and Sarek qualify.

Quit acting dumb. That's the kind of crap that gives Trekkies a bad name.

When you consider the source, this is especially hilarious. You're the one going out of his way to split hairs and miss the point entirely.

Good job on managing to post a reply that didn't have the word 'reboot' in it, though. Things are looking marginally up.

 

[Kirk the Jerk]

OMFG! Those characters APPEARED and were not a main part of those series. Bashir etc. Appeared in the TOS era due to time travel, thus they were not APART of that era. Scotty, Spock etc. may have lived to see TNG era but were certainly not within the main foundations of the series, Thus them always being TOS era. Nemesis is set AFTER Voyager, so is not TNG era, despite being largely the same crew. When you're talking about the Characters you saying Janeway from Voyager, you don't say Janeway from Voyager, who has also appeared in Nemesis. O'Brian, i'll agree was apart of TNG AND DS9, Because he was a main character in both series. But McCoy, Spock, Kirk etc. etc. will always be known as TOS. Acting Dumb? I'm not debating which series these guys have appeared in. I'm saying what ERA they're from. Just like Shell suits are from the 80's, People might still wear them today but they're from the ERA of the 1980's THE PAST! Michael Jacksons era, also the 80's and before, The man is still alive and kicking today but he and his music will always be known for the past. So who is the dumb one...?

 

[Matt]

I was alive in the 80s. I was a part of the 80s era. I'm alive today. I'm a part of the 00s era.

Get with it. You're wrong.

You're not a character on a TV show, even though recent evidence would seem to suggest otherwise. The OP likely used 'TNG era' because it's a good frame of reference for talking about this expansive universe.

Quit being contrary just for the sake of it.

Ya i was really just talking about the main casts from TNG, Voyager, or DS9 and I used the term TNG era to try and combine all three 24th century shows. I am not talking about a one time appearence in the 24th century from Scotty or having some no name Ensign #2 who may have been on DS9 once, but rather I was hoping to see a main cast member or two from one of the 24th century trek shows in the new movie for a cameo since it sounds like of least part of the movie will take place in the 24th century.

Re: Will any TNG era Characters appear in the movie? (spoile

If this were to happen, I think it that it would've been better to have had Old Spock team up with the crew of TNG to go back in time and save Kirk & co. You could also have had it be the movie era Kirk & co. so that you could've used Shatner et al and united the two generations. Probably would've been a more fitting movie for Generations then what we got, although I do enjoy GEN to a certain degree.

"I don't need to be lectured by you. I was out saving the galaxy when your grandfather was in diapers!"-

James T. Kirk
Generations

I want Grandaddy Pikerd wondering around in a loaded diaper. Yes, that's it! Part of the assassination plot.

Your argument is quite laughable i have to say. I was trying to break it down to something you'd understand but ohh wait im the dumb one remember...

So you're honestly telling me that when you talk about Kirk spock etc. you believe that they're from TNG and not TOS? To me (and im sure others) a persons ERA is determained by the age/place/time that they're most remembered/remember since most people would remember Kirk, Spock etc. from TOS, they're TOS era, im sorry if you don't agree with my opinion but the fact you call me Dumb proves that you are infact the dumb one, we were having a little debate and you turn out like a spoilt kid...grow up man!

I want Picard to appear at the beginning that would be fantastic. But at the least if any of the movie takes place in the 24th Century we should see the 24th Century style such as uniforms or lcars or something like that. It would be a wasted opportunity in my opinion if we see the 24th Century but nothing familiar.
