What I want from Star Trek 13

 

1. NO time travel.

2. NO Borg.

3. NO Plotlines from previous movies.

4. NO Old Spock giving spoilers to the new Spock.

5. More McCoy.  MORE MCCOY!!!!!!!

6. More useful-Uhura, less girlfriend-Uhura

7. More Klingons

8. Less "Kirk finding out who he is deep in side."  It shouldn't take THREE movies to establish a world-famous character that has been an established icon for nearly half a century now.

9. NO blinding lens flares.

[2thGuy]

An original story with a new bad guy.

I'd like to see a story. For a change...

5. SO agree!!! His is probably the most enjoyable representation of the character.

6. I'd like to see Zoe's portrayal continue it's evolution into the regal but fierce Uhura that Nichelle Nichols portrayed. I think she is capable of showing us this with the right situations. I am ambivalent to the "girlfriend" aspect though. I'm not opposed, but I'm not convinced. Maybe she and Scotty can start to show the romance that was hinted at in the films.

8. Actually I have to say I'm not as upset about this. Think about it: the Shatner Kirk we all know had the benefit of growing up in a house with both of his parents alive, well, and (assuming) happily married. As Nemoy Spock said, Kirk's father was always an inspiration to him. Pine's Kirk didn't have that. He grew up with a LOT more rogue in him. So to say that Pine's Kirk is an established icon completely ignores the information given to us in the first JJ film.

I'd like to see a "soul" for a change. I get the action/adventure aspect. Now I want to see the Star Trek soul. I want to see the bigger themes of humanity explored; not just explosions and dramatic space scenes. 

 

I want to see something that requires the audience to *gasp* THINK. I want something we have to walk away still digesting. Not just mindlessly talking about how loud and big the explosions were in a manner more evocative of a stoner audience. I want to be challenged in my morality. Where I have to think "what would I have done in their shoes?"

I agree. This is kinda funny. A couple of years ago, right after JJ-Trek 2009 was released, I had the chance to talk to Vince McEveety, and we talked about the new film as well. He asked me why I didn't like it, and I said, "It lacked soul!"

[Whirlygig]

I would like to see the USS Enterprise - E, the USS Titan follow the Borg into the alternate Universe to join forces with the new USS Enterprise crew but concede that the only way to defeat the Borg is to fly everyone back through the now stable black hole into the Prime Universe's 24th Century...

 

Count me in for this idea (not sure about the part where JJ-crew come back to prime).  Problem is, there would be so many "big name" stars, competing for screen time and wages, that it would never happen, or so would be the studio's feeling whether necessarily true or not.  They would be unable to view Stewart/Frakes (whomever leads the prime crews) and Pine as anything other than "two leads" and you can't have two leads in a film, according to them.

[Gothneo]

I think, Time travel has been used in 4 of the movies right?

 

TVH, 1st Contact, Generations, and Star Trek (2009). Did I miss any?

Skip 13, not going to happen, move along to number 14.

 

I think a more interesting question would be what we would like to see after 13, the problems that people have with JJ's Trek (if they have any) aren't going to be rectified in his final effort. What happens to Trek after 13, do Paramount reset again (like Batman, Spiderman etc), another Kirk and co, do we get a TNG reboot ? Do we get anything at all?! 

[Gothneo]

Good question Exelion. To me... the question is will the JJ's verse, gain enough fans, enough traction to bring Star Trek back to TV. When they do I expect they will find a different cast, which is fine, but to me that will be the mark that JJ really did revive Star Trek. I feel it shines brightest on the small screen, and a true revitalization means that a new series would be viable and successful.

 

I actually think Enterprise had the right idea, to intertwine several on-going threads and stories, but I thought it just didn't wind them up fast enough. I loved the 3-4 episode threads for season 4, where as one was winding down, they laid the foundation for the next. They could easily have the 3rd movie start the 5 year mission, in the next movie and then seg that into an actual TV show.

[Gothneo]

No to Borg. Its been done to death.

Not interested in a "Multiverse" based series either.  The Mirror Universe episodes were mostly fun. They are "What-if" kinda  episodes, but really 1 or 2 episodes per entire series is enough.

 

They can easily have the enterprise with Kirk as its Capt. on a 5 year mission and have completely new stories, arcs etc.

I liked the 2009 movie as an action/adventure scifi flick, but it wasn't a "Star Trek' movie to me. And while STID was closer, it still lacked that underlying "explore the HUMAN condition" aspect to me. They tried, but ultimately it fell flat (in that category).

I don't think the Powers That Be at Paramount would EVER go for a mirror universe big screen movie. They want everyone to approach each movie as if you were a viewer seeing this movie without the value of seeing the previous movies or series as background. In other

words this is the ONLY Trek movie. 

 

Honestly, I'd really like to see Trek return to the small screen. And while I know this is a far fetched idea, I would honestly love to see an animated version. Something that has never been done before. I'm not talking TAS style animation, but something more akin to Avatar. 

 

And I would love an anthology based series. One where stories staring various crew/cast members from every aspect of Trek are utilized. It can be a mini-series based series. where one story takes a few nights or 3 episodes to tell the whole tale.

I agree... to a point. Its typical nowadays that movies try and run in a serial manner. Avengers is a good example, to really get some of the inside jokes and the full nuances, you needed to see Iron Man,Iron man-2, Thor, Capt America, and The Incredible Hulk. Each are ment to stand on their own, including Avengers, but you won't completely get everything in them if you haven't seen the others.

[WORF22]

NO "JJ"

[Gothneo]

Actually,  JJ needs different writers, so "No to Orci/Kurtzman"!

 

That would make a bigger difference then a different director.

[2thGuy]

I, for one, am very appreciative of the work done by Abams, Kurtzman, Orci, Lindelof, et al.  They took a moribund/dead movie franchise and resurrected it for another generation, ESPECIALLY overseas.  That much said, I'm looking forward to new leadership that will take us, and the series, into the undiscovered country.  

[VulcanFanatic]

I would like to see Captain Picard and the Enterprise E appear at the beginning of the movie, dropping out of a time warp with Old Spock, preventing Romulus from being destroyed by arriving early enough to shoot the red matter into the supernova, thereby preventing Nero from being dragged into the black hole, and thereby returning the timeline to its proper place. Jump back to Kirk and Spock starting their 5 year mission, with all the disastrous events from the previous movies never taking place. All the TOS missions will occur as normal, but the movie will not remake those, it will focus on an adventure that happens in between the TOS missions, that we have never seen before. Kirk is more professional and mature and older that he was in the last movie. Spock is more logical, less emotion, no Uhura romance. The crew encounters something drifting in space, it seems to resemble a humanoid. It appears frozen. It is adorned with strange apparel, thats not in the computer databanks. It is determined that it does not present any bacterial threat to the Enterprise, so Kirk has it beamed onboard and transported to sickbay for examination..........

[VulcanFanatic]

The being did appear to humanoid, but lifesigns were nonexistent. Dr McCoy initiated a thaw process that would allow the Doctor to examine the being in greater detail....
