Even 10 years from now, an old Kirk could come out and save the new Kirk - unbeknownst to the young Kirk, as the age would easily hide the fact that it is himself 60 years down the road! - Now that would be a death scene worth killing off the old(er) Kirk for!

- Now that would be a death scene worth killing off the old(er) Kirk for!

He exists there forever and when he leaves, he's only a copy. If that doesn't work for you, have him play a relative of himself... This is not complicated at all.

We sat in aw. We watched, and loved and believed. In all the years that have passed since that faith in the ultimate triumph of man over adversity, of humans over any obstacle, of good over evil, has never failed or faded. I am sure that the "Spock" we loved so long ago will not let us down after all those years. Peace and long life.

It simply will not be legendary without it -- and IMHO, if there's anything that Abrams wants to take away from this effort, it's a truly Star Trekkian-legendary quality to the film!

WIthout Gene and others bringing the rear where Berman is left out in the cold. This Movie is going to be great but the fan films don't do it honor but I still love watching them. I think Star Trek will be around for along time to come. We need more Fan Films that tries to take Paramount and CBS to task and promote a bigger vision with other shows that don't even have anything to do with Star Trek but will help the fan films get some out the leather into the process. I think Jeff Quinn would have been a great replacement for Spock. But they had to choose the more seasoned actor from Heroes. If I have anything other to say I think I'll post it later.

Knowing he's getting on in years, "they" send a young Vulcan to interview him. Being the later, emotion-embracing Spock, he immediately grins, embraces the uncomfortable one, and welcomes him into his home. "They sent you to talk me off the ledge, haven't they?" "sir?" "A human phrase. Vulcan High Command doubtless thinks I suffer from Bendii syndrome" "that thought has occurred to them, Sir." "...that I cannot control my emotions...rather than that I simply CHOOSE not to. Has it ever occurred to you, that emotions can be eminently logical?" ..and so it goes, hooking the audience into later Spock's line of reasoning. Perhaps the 'flashback' to early Spock would be meant to illustrate Spock's point.. maybe early Spock failed at something, from trying too hard to be logical. And after trying to charm the young Vulcan interviewer into seeing his point about emotion.. they end up developing a kind of friendship, a sort of 'friendly disagreement', debating relationship. Spock says things like "Now, surely you must at least consider my viewpoint. To dismiss your elders, who have so many more decades of experience and learning, would be illogical" In the end, the interviewer seems impervious. Until Spock dies, in front of him, and the emotion is wrenched out of him. I think I thought of a cool context for the later Spock.

“sir?”
“A human phrase. Vulcan High Command doubtless thinks I suffer from Bendii syndrome”
“that thought has occurred to them, Sir.”

Current Shatner is great at Denny Crane.. but Nimoy ages better. PRecisely because Vulcans SHOULD look old. Adds that patina of wisdom. Besides, Kirk would be long dead by the time Spock looks even remotely old. Nexus or not! And, let's face it, Spock has, and always had, the most depth. He was the most 60s of the Trek Denizons.

Although I loved Shatners role in the original series and again in Wrath of Khan (especially) and read the RETURN as well as other books based after that timeline, I do think Kirk's role is over. Call it fatigue factor but we have to move on. The Next Generation showed we could. Vulcans can live 200+ years so a Spock from the future makes sense. The Star Trek universe revolves around going boldly where no man has gone before.. lets not repackage William Shatner again and again.. Sopranos and Seinfeld had it right-- go out on top. Spock never really the attention he should have. Also (to a lessor extent) The thing I always liked about Patrick Stewart is that he stays in shape for the role.. Kirk was very physically active in the books and the fit with todays Shatner doesn't make sense.. I have see all of the movies and read many of the books associated with Star Trek.

The reason they are supposedly using the same characters is because they are the characters who are established and are known. The ground work has already been done. Berman simply did not like TOS, and I think always feared that his work would never be judged properly with TOS hanging over it. His treatment of Capt. Kirk in Generations is a prime example. Kirk is basically an afterthought, a large cameo who he kills off. Now that he is out, Paramount feels that TOS can be made over again. While that's well and good for Paramounts bottom line, I don't feel that is in true spirit of Star Trek. re 323 - That's why producers make big bucks, to work around conflicts. Besides, if Shatner were in the movie, he, like Nimoy, would only require a few days of shooting time. re 314 – They are not rebooting, but certainly remaking.
