202. Here’s a humdinger: there is no such thing as a timeline being created: if you add a 5th dimension, from that perspective all timelines have always existed and time traveling is merely relocating to a different position on a different axis.

Just put him in.
I don’t care if it’s a hologram… a visit to the Mirror Universe… an aging sequence…

JUST DO IT!
please!

287. Agreed, the watered-down speech was the one truly bum note that the movie struck for me.

Just watched the ending of the movie again… I kind of wished they had stuck with the TOS “these are the voyages” speech — rather than the updated/pc movie/TNG version — with ‘new life’ rather than ‘new life forms’ and, alas, even the ‘where no man has gone before’ part. It never seemed sexist to me, but, then again, I’m a guy. And “ongoing mission” just always seemed wordy, just cut the ‘5-year,’ if absolutely necessary, and stick with ‘mission:’

I don’t know if it was the delivery or the edits, but the later versions always sounded lifeless (although Nimoy’s in TWOK was poignant as Spock was likely dead) to me.

I still like the idea of an out-there, far-from-home, five-year mission.

279, good points, but what I meant by “A-lister” was shallower — someone who can attract big box office simply by star power alone.

Speaking of box office I suppose it should be noted that the one-two punch of 2012 and THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON have knocked STAR TREK to 10th place in the list of 2009’s top grossers.

There’s a fair chance it’ll be knocked out of the year’s top ten by month end as well.

273. freddy-f: ‘the scene with spock prime showing young spock a necklace would have be overly gay.’

Given they’re essentially the same person, that brings a whole new aspect to the expression ‘Go f*** yourself!’ ;)

#280-I like the way you think. It could be filmed right away, if Bill would agree. Heck, if Nimoy can sit him down to watch the film and then “sell him on the idea”, it would really enrich this already great film and give us something to look forward to while waiting impatiently for the sequel (maybe release it 2-4 weeks/months before the sequel).

One more thing, and I’ll shutup… I think this scene would be a lot less forced than trying to put him in the sequel.

By the way, THANK YOU trekmovie.com for posting that wonderful bit of script. Regardless of whether anything happens with it, it’s beautifully written.

Also, a big thanks for posting a follow-up article. I’m so glad to see it’s getting a huge response. I’ve often imagined the scene since I read it, and I’m not even a huge Trekkie. This would have been incredible… and I hope we get to see it at some point!
