star trek:into darkness (WARNING: SPOILERS as of 4/23/13)

Re: star trek:into darkness

Does if the writer of the movie worked on it, and canonizes it.

Re: star trek:into darkness

Maybe in your universe, but not mine!

Re: star trek:into darkness

In my universe, "The Transformed Man", and "Songs From Outer Space", are canon.

Re: star trek:into darkness

Except in the new comic books Kirk killed Mitchell, his friend, just as the original Kirk did in the original timeline.

Now I know that many here don't consider the comics canon but the last movie was telling people to buy the comic to get the backstory on the craptastic villain in essence making those comics canon.

So why not these new comics?

Re: star trek:into darkness

Han was going to shoot Kirk but Spock got Han with the Vulcan nerve pinch.

Re: star trek:into darkness

With all this water stuff is Abrams trying to do some weirdbeard remake of "Master & Commander: The Far Side of the World"? Or "Moby Dick"?

Re: star trek:into darkness

Of course since Abrams Trek is a reboot (even if it's not an obvious one), they can do pretty much whatever for all the difference it would make.

Re: star trek:into darkness

Scene from Trek 13's Finale:

Khan (played by Cumberbatch) to Harry Mudd (played by Weller):

"Harry Mudd, Ruler of Pacifica, activate the machine!"

Re: star trek:into darkness

John - Khan

Harrison - Noonien Singh

Re: star trek:into darkness

He's Dr. Bashir!

Re: star trek:into darkness

Or, maybe they found Khan's ship later than before, and by then, all the freezers failed, Khan died, and only John Harrison lived.

Re: star trek:into darkness

Who cares? The fact that the fanboys' panties are in bunch already makes it all worthwhile.

Re: star trek:into darkness

It's not Khan.

It ain't Mitchell.

In fact, I don't give a fuck who Cumberbatch is playing. He is an awesome actor and the movie already looks like it's going to kick ass.

Re: star trek:into darkness

We'll know by Memorial Day if Trek 12's gold or feces. Or something in between.

Re: star trek:into darkness

there ya go...except it would be earlier, not later. Assuming the new canon is that this Kirk took command at a younger age than "our"Kirk.

ETA: actu7ally, if it's earlier than you can't really assume that the new timeline had such a vast butterfly effect that Khan's pod failed - you'd have to assume (or write, but I doubt the would bother to explain if this were the actual plot) that some other Starfleet vessel found the BB, and these other folks, being less skilled than Scotty, managed to kill all the Augments except "Harrison" - thus providing him the motivation to "have my vengeance"


Ya know....we might just be on to something here...

Re: star trek:into darkness

STID's Prologue begins on 1996 Earth with Khan (Cumberbatch) & Co. being shoved aboard the Botany Bay by an ancestor of Kirk's (UN Peacekeeping Marshall Jackson Roy Kirk*). As Khan Ent al are being put into their cryochambers Khan screams how he'll get Kirk & have his revenge !























* Not Jackson Roykirk! Seems B&-, err, Abrams & Lindelof are pulling another almost Delta Vega here !

Re: star trek:into darkness

Entertainment Weekly just published a few new pics from the movie. None of them reveal much about the plot of the film, but I found these two to be rather interesting:

This picture seems to show at least four guys who are about to die. I also thought that Cumberbatch was a lot taller than this.





Uhura is looking more fuckable than ever in a brand-new catsuit! But does the color suggest that she's also about to meet her maker?

Re: star trek:into darkness

Look, all I want is Jack Black to sing the full-lyrics version of the theme song.
Opening credits, end credits, doesn't matter, it's just gotta be in there.

Re: star trek:into darkness

The catsuit is probably some kind of Starfleet tracksuit. Lord know that they even have color-coordinated space suits in the Abrams-verse, so a department colored tracksuit would hardly be out of the question. If it is meant to be her regular "uniform", I guess that would be in keeping with the way he treated women like a piece of meat in the last movie, though.

Re: star trek:into darkness

I can't think of a practical reason for the cat suit, but I don't mind seeing her in it

The color makes sense, though, as she traditionally wore red, even though a member of the bridge crew and never at any real risk of dying.

Re: star trek:into darkness

IIRC, the team that was down on the volcano mission was dressed in such suits in the trailer. she likely either just got back or is about to leave. likely this is some sort of "environmental" suit.

Re: star trek:into darkness

Frankly, I hope they're the new suits.

Re: star trek:into darkness

Cucumberbatch will be the of Abramstrek!

Re: star trek:into darkness

A page and a half after the superbowl trailer and no one is talking about how the Enterprise is full of holes and falling out of the sky?!?!

ETA: also, I'm going with Cumberbatch as an android (specifically one of Mudd's). He doesn't use contractions. No, that's not a hard and fast rule in Trek, but it is a clue.

Re: star trek:into darkness

The "cat suit" is a wetsuit.

Re: star trek:into darkness

And since JJ is also doing Star Wars, I want Bill Murray singing that theme song.

Re: star trek:into darkness

Wouldn't surprise me. I like how everything has to be departmental colors.

Re: star trek:into darkness

So EW might have spoiled who Cumberbatch is playing.....

Spoiler at Link

I suppose one could surmise they're merely assuming that's who the villain is, but I'm not so sure.
