132, Philpot

Yes thats what I want to see as well, now if thats what I get with the sequel is a different matter. There Im just speaking from a fanboy viewpoint. The sequel is in the hands of Bob and Alex and the SC of course, and im pretty darn sure they will come up with something that is enjoyable, clever, and fun to watch like Star Trek 09 is. Even if it doesnt contain those elements exactly as I would envision. I dont want to sound like a kiss up, but I really like these two guys after listening to the comentary they did on the Star Trek 4 DVD. It showed they are fans, just like us, and they love the franchise. Its in good hands IMO.

131 – yes i too wouldnt mind a healthy dose of Twilight Zone/Outer Limits/TOS season1 eeriness in the sequel – some scares, horror, twists and plain weirdness..

ST09 had a touch of it (the opening, delta vega, the mild meld etc) but i want more! (and some khan)

I would say by now Bob and Alex have already come up with a story,or at least a basic premise. And you never know it may include Khan, which like Ive said many times on this forum that would not bother me at all if done right (not cheezy). So trying to pitch ideas at this point might be fun, but probably will just be that..fun. I will say this, I want Star Trek 2 to be the SGT Peppers of the franchise. Mind blowing philosophy, Twilight Zone endings, K/S fans running out of the theaters, screaming in terror!….thats what I want.

Why not go without a villain next time around, perhaps? Maybe some phenomenon like the probe in The Voyage Home might be worth considering – something which brings about a correction in the timeline even, but maybe that’s too much of a cop-out after effectively re-writing Trek history in the last movie. But please, please, please, no Khan. Leave that great character’s story end at Star Trek II. As for the Oscar? The patchy green body paint does wrankle a bit, I guess, but what the hell, an Oscar is an Oscar!

Bob — don’t know how you’re coming along in your SF reading research, but if you haven’t read it yet, read FOOTFALL (Larry Niven/Jerry Pournelle). I JUST finished it for the first time, and it’s one of N/P’s best, ranking up there with The Mote in God’s Eye. I can see why it was a NY Times bestseller.

Great aliens in the Fithp. Wish more unusual aliens like that (not knobby headed humans) played a more central role in some Star Trek stories.

I don’t know when Bob and Alex will write the story for Trek XII let’s hope it’s soon I am getting bored that there isn’t any developments on the sequel.

#125, makeup also includes hair. I didn’t really see any great achievements in hair in Star Trek. So it’s a weighted award. No points for hair, but a lot of points for makeup. I have to say, I thought the makeup_and_hair looked totally unique and amazing in The Young Victoria. That’s not to say I think it should have won. Would love to have seen how close the vote was however.

Would have been nice to make a mention of Gene Roddenberry and HIS vision, too, and the fact that it was long overdue for Star Trek to win an Academy Award. Nevertheless, the win was very much appreciated, though, with no disrespect to the other nominees, the other nominees didn’t have much of a chance against a blockbuster like Star Trek with a team of 40 make-up artists.

Boys and girls… Oscars are for best achievement and NOT for best prosthetics! Yes, Il Divo was great… but Star Trek was BEST! The Academy didn’t award Spock’s ears or Nero’s tattoos. Makeup is about prosthetic, but most of all is about how skin reflects on the silver screen. Just focus on the faces of the actors. Under any lighting conditions, there skin was UNIQUE! This kind of makeup you will find it.. NOWHERE! Who ever says otherwise, simply has NO IDEA about makeup at best or is blind at worst.

Well done Star Trek!
