I’ve always been more of a Kirk fan. Spock seemed too serious and unfriendly, but then I was a small child when I first *experienced* TOS and have loved it ever since.

I agree with 70. I like the coincidence of Spock meeting Kirk, who then meet Scotty. Sometimes very bizarre (and timely) events/meetings occur. Coming from NZ, I have heard of such meetings of people who grew up in a tiny town, go their own way and then many years later, meeting on the same British Rail train taking them to Scotland. I can see how the “rivers in time”, “currents”… could work. People can be drawn, brought together by forces (for want of a better word) that we don’t necessarily understand but that doesn’t make it any less valid.

Lennon and McCarthy? No. According to my own Trek story, Kirk has eclectic musical tastes. Among his favourite bands is the Beatles. As Kirk is slowly coming to grips with the reality of his promotion to captain, he returns to his quarters, says “Music” and it is the Beatles singing “Help!”

Just another little idea for you to include in the sequel, if you like and able to, Bob Orci! (I believe that Chris Pine could go for it – he seemed really elated when he (with other ST09 actors) met Sir Paul McCartney a few months back).

Anyway, good luck. Take care. Thanks, Anthony Pascale for trekmovie.com. Great site.

thanks for all of your hard work.

IDIC!!!!!!!!!

Bob orci?

or

boborci?

i want the new actors to be able to make the characters their own. TNG for example, they had their little praises for TOS but created something completely new. thats why they were successful

use some of the characters from TOS but come up with a brand new story.

Just saying…

I like how in the Batman reboot, Wayne’s parents didnt die, and the Superman reboot, where Krypton didn’t blow up, and…

Reboots dont have to discard canon, they just go somewhere else with it.

The best thing about TOS was it was EPISODIC, every show stood on it’s own and was never mentioned again, unlike TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT which were modeled after Days of Our Lives, As the World Turns, and Dallas & Knotts Landing, with a bit of Dukes of Hazzard thrown in.

Being Episodic instead of a Soap Opera meant that you could play with the characters like Spock’s Brain and see how the characters would react, like rats in a maze, and completely ignore the episode and write Gem which again explores how the characters react to a situation and each other and then go on to battle Space Hippies, Space Nazis, Space Amoebas, etc.

Perhaps Trek 12 should be about Space Hippies escaping persecution from the Space Nazis who have built Space Nerve Cells and Space Amoebas as the “Final Solution” to wipe out Bele & Charon?

Is it too late to get Frank Gorshin to reprise the role? Oh, wait, it is…
