Johnny Depp would make a most excellent Q.

As would Alan Rickman and/or Ralph Fiennes.


But the best would have been a young Charles Nelson Reilly.

It was a great movie, I would love to see Q come back,

it was a bit odd when kirk pulled a spock... and the last bit of the movie was pretty predictable as soon as I heard someone had to go into the warp core.

even though I knew what was going to happen, I was still quite happy to hear "KHANNNNNNNNN"

Alan Rickman would be an excellent Q

No Depp though, I kinda want that guy to go away for awhile XD

I don't think there will be a big Klingon war in the 3rd one. I wonder if there will be a third one though. Financial results so far have been signficiantly below expectations.

That just means they will scale the budget back, not that they will stop making them; $328.5 million (as of June 2013) is still a decent chunk of change, and that isn't counting merchandising and home video sales/rentals.

good deal.

No Q and no Borg. These are TNG things. They should just have some old fashioned Star Trekking in the next one with the Federation-Klingon lurking in the background or as a subplot. Then do something that focuses on the war or end it in the fourth one.

Federation-Klingon war would be very cool.

Even in the new timeline, wouldn't the Voyager probe and the whale probe still fly towards earth?

I'm trying to forget the whale probe. Also, the V-Ger probe is like 20 years from the current timeline.

I guess so but that won't be for like 20 more years. They haven't even gone on their 5 year deep space mission yet.

EDIT: Ninja'd

OF course, Vger might have sped up as per background, the Romulans supposedly met Vger and used it to calculate the timeline and location for Spock.

That's your theory or it's in the comic or something?

Don't forget that at this early point in the timeline, many of the more aggressive races of the Federation were only marginally - if at all - members. Andorians, Tellarites, and Orions are all valid villians at this point. It would be interesting to finally see the Andorian 'Blue Fleet' on the big screen. Do that and I might even watch the next movie

On Netflix, naturally. There's no way I'm paying money to JJ anymore.

Lets get some Ferengi villains!

I just saw...

I liked it enough... I'm not that hard to displease, but I really feel like the flick was really "busy" for some reason.

I need to watch it again to fully absorb it.

Anyone else get the same feeling?

Aren't they always the "financial" villain with respect to Latinum?

Whats the andorian blue fleet?
Of course, if we still have aggressive federation races (not counting the humans) why did they need Khan again?

I would like the next film to involve something new and original. I would have liked this one to do that as well, but I'll give them their bridge movie as it set up the five year mission and made Kirk a bit less hotheaded.

In the first film the only real growth for the character was to find something to believe in, but his recklessness and flaunting the rules still won out the day, so there is no reason why that should have changed between films.

I wanted this from the last two.

It was mentioned before that I wish they had not tried to connect it at all to the older series and just rebooted, but they don't respond to my emails. The question at this point is whether we can make peace with what we have gotten, and while I would have preferred a total reboot, I can live with what we have gotten. I think they missed an opportunity, but c'est la vie.

V'ger created The Borg? What in the hell?

More that they were both created by the same entity.

I saw it. It was terrible. Now both Star Wars and Star Trek are totally dead to me.

Oh Dear God I agree with Khornholio.

I see your agreement and raise you the prediction that the next one will have borg whales and a baby Picard.

Saw it in IMAX 3D.

Liked it a lot. Really thought Cumberbatch was a great Khan. Very intense portrayal.

Only a few things that I didn't like....really do I still need spoiler warnings at this point?

1) Scottys Mushroom alien side kick. I was really hoping it wouldn't be back. This is almost as bad as the ghetto bots from Transformers 2.
2) Klingons, Really? What was the point. I would have rather wait until ST 3 to see them unleashed, not as Trek Universe version of Dark Eldar.
3) Spock and Uhura...it's so cliche, and it doesn't really work for me. Would rather have seen a vulcan lady introduced as Spocks love interest.

Besides those small gripes, thought the movie was great. Looking forward to Star Trek III Wrath of the Dark Eldar.

I mean the whole...We're fighting, lovers quarrel schtick. It just seemed so forced.

Now that I think about it isn't the Klingon War already over?

Star Fleet knows about the super duper transporters. Make 50,000 1 gigaton warheads with one ticking mechanical clock + transport to Kronos = Profit!

Then do it to Romulus.

Then do it Cardassia

Federation Rising III Holy Empire!!!
