With no Space Seed, how can there be a "Khan Movie"?

My mother's brother's nephew told me that Star Trek XII would be based on the TOS story Let That Be Your Last Battlefield.

Only the half-black and half-white people would be half one color from the waist up and half the other color from the waist down. :p
 
We've had 11 movies, and already gotten TWOK twice. Do we really need to make it 3 times in 12 movies? :rolleyes:
 
Why do so few people here realize how bad of an idea making a Khan movie is?

Because it's not a bad idea.

It's just an idea that some people like and some people don't.

With all due respect, that's a completely empty statement.

Nah, it's an accurate statement of fact. Again: using Khan is not a bad idea. It's just an idea that some people like and some people don't.

Who's "we?" A lot of people are counting forward from one. ;)
 
Looks like IMDb removed the information inserted that Cumberbatch was playing Khan. Now he's just rumored (to be in the movie?). Wonder if alluding to and helping the rumor mill has cost him a role? Only time will tell.

IMDb is not really the most trustworthy site for information. It's like Wikipedia. . .anyone with paid account can submit information, and sometimes it takes a real long time to correct misinformation. . .

I mean. . ."Ensign Spyke"?????? c'mon now. . . every time there was a casting for the movie there was an announcement in the trades and entertainment mags except for "Ensign Spyke". . . no one credible has said ANYTHING about this one. . . we don't even know the names of the major characters but we know "Ensign Spyke"?? Bwahahaha. . . right. . .

Understandable. It must have been a pain for them to have to keep taking their shoes and socks off. :p
The only thing more painful is the slash fiction resulting from counting forward from one.

I just thought. If Khan doesn't at least have a minute part in this film, we will have to endure another three bleeping years of "Khan's in the next movie," and some poor thing who sits in a dark room with his computer, linking Khan's name in IMDb to some pasty looking guy with a British accent.

Here's the reason the movie can't be about Khan.

If Sikhs are getting their panties in a twist over a silly joke that wasn't even aimed at them, imagine what they'll do if JJ Abrams tells the world they are going to produce a future genocidal madman.

Remember, India has nukes. :p

Oh my God, this would be something for the Political Correctness thread.

Talk about reaching to make a joke.

No, I don't mean Leno - his was actually funny, for a change.
 
What I don't get is why the hell people WANT Khan in another movie. I'd much rather see something NEW, not a rehash. I also am not fond of getting re-"imagined" TOS episodes in the comic, instead of all-new material.
