Ha!!!!!

Re: Star Trek Secret Revealed!!!

Aw, I was hoping this would be a thread about Kirk and Spock being gay for each other!

Re: Star Trek Secret Revealed!!!

I was hoping it would be either/or a title for Trek 2, or a leaked script synopsis.

Re: Star Trek Secret Revealed!!!

I thought this was going to be about the big news that was released over the weekend regarding the new film posted over at Ain't It Cool News and Dark Horizons:

Of course, this news means that we should all be hearing about the following news very shortly...

Re: Star Trek Secret Revealed!!!

So . . . they really are going to go where they've already been before, huh?

Re: Star Trek Secret Revealed!!!

Re: Star Trek Secret Revealed!!!

Keep in mind, it's AICN, and their failure rate is 60/40.

They just edit history to plaudit their big successes.

Their source is dodgy, and they admit "it just feels right".

Re: Star Trek Secret Revealed!!!

How the hell can Benedict Cumberbatch play a Middle Eastern super-soldier convincingly??

It would be ridiculous!

Re: Star Trek Secret Revealed!!!

They specifically denied that shit. I don't believe it.

Re: Star Trek Secret Revealed!!!

Hmm, now I don't know, TrekMovie.com says they've confirmed it via other sources....

Re: Star Trek Secret Revealed!!!

God, not Khan.

That's almost as unimaginative as involving the Borg again. Which I guess they did in the first movie, though I can't recall from memory if anything acknowling the Borg tech on the Narada was cut.

Re: Star Trek Secret Revealed!!!

Wow, that's the definition of truthiness if I've ever seen it!

Re: Star Trek Secret Revealed!!!

I don't believe it. The casting seems all wrong if that is the case.

Re: Star Trek Secret Revealed!!!

It's not in the flick at all, but it's in the prequel comic by Bob Orci, and he references it in the commentary, so, that canonizes it as surely if it were crammed into the DVD case.
IMHO.

Re: Star Trek Secret Revealed!!!

Ain't it cool just posted some more info supposedly confirming the news, but there's a huge twist. Visit the link to read more:

Re: Star Trek Secret Revealed!!!

Almost nothing will be the same in this altered timeline. The missions will be different. And they found the Botany Bay by chance. And Spock is supposed to be busy with the surviving Vulcans and rebuilding their culture. Maybe in the books to come they might consider what you have postulated. IMO

Re: Star Trek Secret Revealed!!!

What little actual news is stolen from TrekMovie, the rest is worthless speculation posing as news.

Re: Star Trek Secret Revealed!!!

Well, we do know that V'Ger is still out there, and will arrive at Earth around 2273, and the Whale Probe, that's gonna be at Earth around 2285 or whatever.

So, I don't see those things getting headed off.

Re: Star Trek Secret Revealed!!!

Are you suggesting that they remake those movies with the new cast???


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Re: Star Trek Secret Revealed!!!

Only if there was a "Back To The Future 2", twist to it.

Like, the JJPrise falls into their version of the spatial interphase from "the Tholian web", and emerge in the mainline Trek-verse during the arrival of V'Ger, but V'Ger digitizes the whole crew, not just Ilia, just as the JJprise crew all beam aboard to escape their ship blowing up from the rough trip, and they take the place of the original crew, and complete the rest of the mission of TMP.

The timelines are merged, we get a nice sci-fi mindfuck over the crew replaced with duplicates, and Trek tradition is preserved on two levels.

Re: Star Trek Secret Revealed!!!

The only rumour that's 100% confirmed is that Leonard Nimoy will be back as "Spock Prime".

Nimoy himself has said so in television interviews and Twitter.

Either way, a whole bunch of people's heads are gonna explode over this movie.

And that's a good thing.

Re: Star Trek Secret Revealed!!!

Funny, I am reading what I wrote and I don't see that suggestion in my comment anywhere.

Re: Star Trek Secret Revealed!!!

It's not my speculation, it's Ain't It Cool New's speculation.

I'm rather hoping the movie will be better than that idea.

Re: Star Trek Secret Revealed!!!

I demand an omnibus movie where V'Ger, the whale probe, the Doomsday Machine, Balok in his Fesarius and Khan make an appearance. The Augments can highjack the Fesarius and make Sybok lead them to the center of the galaxy, where Kirk singlehandedly saves the day, riding the doomsday machine like Slim Pickens on the bomb in Dr Strangelove, before tricking "god" into appearing as a woman to sing the whale probe to sleep, having sex with "her" and then getting promoted to Admiral as the credits roll.

Re: Star Trek Secret Revealed!!!

George Takei could make a cameo as nuSulu's ancestor in San Francisco.

Re: Star Trek Secret Revealed!!!

I guess I should reserve judgment.

After all, I knew that Heath Ledger was a good actor, but I was leery of him being the Joker. And I knew that Daniel Craig was a good actor, but I was leery of him being Bond.

I've seen Cumberpatch in a few things, and he seems like a very good actor. And I've liked what J.J. Abrams has delivered before. Hmmm.

Guess I'll just wait and see if I like it.

Re: Star Trek Secret Revealed!!!

Cumberpatch????

Who do people keep misspelling his name? It's not difficult!

It's BUMPERSNATCH. B-U-M-P-E-R-S-N-A-T-C-H. Bendydick Bumpersnatch.

Sheesh!
