I echo that. It’s nice when we can keep things civil. But alot of times, these threads turn into a written version of a “Jerry Springer” episode.

Then again… Springer can be VERY entertaining. :P

Thanks, for echoing the opinion and a good mention in another or your posts.

YES. In both cases. Indiana Jones returning is a GREAT idea, since that character was always very vulnerable and human, and was shown in the tv series to have adventures spanning many decades. Come next spring, Spielberg, Lucas and Ford are gonna show all the heartless wanna-be action franchises how it’s done!

As for Shatner as Kirk, Nimoy is back as Spock, so why the hell not? Shatner looks great for his age and is still a great performer, arguably better than he’s ever been. And if you don’t like the Nexus (and I don’t blame you for that), how about a little device known as The Guardian of Forever? Or simply some powerful new alien technology? The writers should be able to come up with SOMETHING.

WHY DO WE NEED TO RESURRECT CAPPY KIRK?
Alot of the thread’s discussion has turned to “How can Kirk be included in the next film?”

I know most of you are jumping on this because of a very brief comment by Abrams, but don’t let your anticipation get the better of you. None of us REALLY knows what they’re up to. Truth is, I doubt THEY (the producers, writers, etc.) know either. It’s common knowledge that scripts get edited right up to filming, and sometimes scripts are even re-written in the middle of the shoot!

My comments are what I’d LIKE to see, not what I EXPECT to see. If you want to speculate, feel free. But make an effort to go outside every now and then and get some fresh air. Don’t lock yourself up in a closet pondering Star Trek XI for the next year and a half.

But… back to Kirk.
WHY? Hey, Shatner’s a great actor, no doubt. But it’s kinda like Ford stepping in Indy’s shoes again for one last ride. Does he really need to milk the cow for one more paycheck? It reminds me of that skit from “In Living Color” where the crew of the Enterprise are all on the bridge in wheelchairs and canes! C’mon, people…

And most of the ideas for bringing him back involve the NEXUS. Are you shitting me? The NEXUS?? It was a sad plot device in Generations. Do we really want THAT?

Oh, and as for the “Spock is reflecting on his life” bit:
That may very well be their plans for Nimoy. And if so, it’s quite sad. For it’s a worn-out idea that’s been recycled more than McDonald’s hamburger meat. But more importantly, with Nimoy looking back on the past, that makes for a future that’s set in stone. In other words, what would change? What are we looking forward to here?

Let’s do a TRUE reboot, that doesn’t totally blasphemy Star Trek, but at least puts a twist on it. I love the amazing job the cast and crew of Smallville have done. For me, it’s the best treatment of Superman thus far.

Otherwise… “Spock remembering the past…” will be like the Star Wars prequels. “Oh, is that Anakin guy gonna turn into Darth Vader?” “Oooh, who’s this Darth Sidious? Is he that Emperor guy from the first trilogy?”

We already knew, so we didn’t care.

You know, I’ve been Trekking for 40 years myself. You are one of the posters who needs to be less critical and more accepting of the opinions of others.

You may disagree, but rudeness is really not becoming.

As Xai suggests, the condescension is really wearing thin.

Try adopting the style of Flying Tigress. I can handle differing opinions.

If you are my age, you should be able to as well.

I am sure you are the hit of your neighborhood with your “40 years of Trekking” and the condescending attitude…. but it’s now a yawner. Try respecting others opinions and comments without the stomp and heel-grind. Even you may surprised what you may learn.

VOODOO…
Hey, thanks for the compliments. You and I have differing opinions of some things Trek, but not all. I was pleased and surprised by your kind comments. Thanks again.
LLAP.

Obviously we won’t know anything for sure until much further down the road.
