I’d like to register my shudder at the very thought of a remake of “Space Seed.” So far, I seem to be the only one who finds the idea stupid, trite, and–above all–unnecessary when there are so many NEW stories to be told in the Trekverse, but I’m sure I’m not entirely alone.

Plus, how would you make a version of “Space Seed” that’s *better* than “Space Seed”? It smacks of the worst kind of fanwank that I hate so much in certain members of the canonista movement, only this fanwank springs from the rebootistas–a group that has so reliably and effectively decried fanwank in the past.

Now, all this being (rather vehemently) said, Javier Bardem would make a *great* Khan.

I’d like to see a Eugenics War story. I like Gary Seven vs Khan!

By the way, does anyone know where Uhura’s station is on the new bridge? Is she one of the standing posts behind the captain’s chair? If so, which one?

Also, does anyone know if Spock has his scanner in his post on the bridge? You know that scanner that Spock would hunch over and look into, that glowed blue light?

I think Seth Rogen is the only man who could play Harry Mudd.

I really like the idea of a Space Seed movie. And I like the idea of having either Javier Bardem or Antonio Banderas as Kahn. But I think that the space seed story should only be part of the story. Make it a key element to something bigger. And find a way to have Harry Mudd in it too. Because he’s a character that seems would have come back more if they could find a way. He’s a criminal in the future. A space pirate/ smuggler/ thief con artist. He can fit in any story, I think.

@77… correction…

crash landing of the engineering section… we don’t want to repeat what that other movie did in the 90s…

Khan surfing on a single warp nacelle, like Dolittle in Dark Star…

I need to fire up Final Draft!
