Just making the last Trek Movie was a major SCREW UP! It sucked! And now you want to mess with even more of what was set down? Man, you can take your ‘new time line universe Star Trek” and suck it.

There should be no Khan but there could always be Mirror Captain James T. Kirk of the ISS Enteprise in Star Trek The Orginal Series episode 33 Mirror Mirror.

Spock Prime is still alive, so he has had pleny of time to warn the Federation that Khan is in suspended animation on a sleeper ship somewhere, that nomad can be defeated by a logic trick, that they have about 20 years to find a humpback whale, and, oh yeah, V’ger is coming wants to merge with one of it’s creators. None of the old threats should be unexpected at this point.

Okay…Hear me out and let me know what you think. So lately ive been thinking about Spock Prime and his possible role in st XII or XIII. Spock Prime does not belong in this new universe, no more than Nero did. Spock Prime was sent into the alternate universe to prevent any damage Nero intended to cause to this new timeline. Spock Prime is one of the most influential characters in the prime universe, and being the logical vulcan that he is, even he would argue that balance must be restored and he must be returned to his own universe. He doesn’t belong in this past. He knows too much of potential events to come. Also, I can’t imagine that Starfleet/Vulcan wouldn’t exhaust every effort they had to mount a monumental away misson to try and retrieve one of historys greatest figures, Spock Prime, to his original timeline, where he belongs. You’ve gotta admit there would have to be attempts to bring him back. I’m sure the temporal distortion could be re-created…somehow. I mean this is star trek. They do whatever they want. I’m not suggesting that this be the A story here,or even the B story, but I think there are some good possiblities here, and its a good way to introduce characters from the prime universe into the new abramsverse. Also, nobody has really suggested the technological impact of Spock Prime and Nero’s trip to the 23rd century. The Narada and the Jellyfish would have to had to been so technogically advanced to anything in the 23rd century, that it MUST have had an impact on starship design, weapons, propulsion, etc. Perhaps some dangerous technology is developed far earlier than is should be now, as a result of Spocks trip back in time, creating a giant catch 22 situation.

Examples of late creativity to counter the notion that the good only create when young:

#488. – With all due respect, that doesn’t make any sense. I seriously doubt if you polled all the people who saw Trek for the first time this Summer and loved the movie enough to want to see more, that they would have any idea who Khan was, much less “want” a story about him.

The point about the mainstream is that they don’t care. Movies aimed at the mainstream audience ignore any of the overly-detailed plotlines and story structure Trek fans have come to expect. They tend to focus on “big picture” concepts, generic action and other global attributes which anyone can embrace.

If Abrams decides to do a movie about Khan, it won’t be because the mainstream is clamoring for it. It will be because Khan is a proven success at the box-office and has a strong story to tell, even if it has already been told twice. For a mainstream audience it will be as if the first time, but the risk is far less than creating a brand new concept or choosing an untried one from the compendium.
