Heh. I like the casting, but I don't want Khan.

NEW STORY PLEASE! No rehashes.

DamnYankees: Heh. I like the casting, but I don't want Khan.

NEW STORY PLEASE! No rehashes.

This. I don't want Khan, but if it's insisted upon, I can think of worse actors.

Batmanuel!

I think Montalban would be good with this.

Mmmmm... I like this guy.

Diogenes: I think Montalban would be good with this.

I doubt he would put up much of an argument.

Diogenes: I think Montalban would be good with this.

He's currently attached to another project, and I don't think he can get out of it.

It sounds to me like Khan as a villain was floated by the interviewer, and not the interviewee.

Hender: DamnYankees: Heh. I like the casting, but I don't want Khan.

NEW STORY PLEASE! No rehashes.

This. I don't want Khan, but if it's insisted upon, I can think of worse actors.

These. There's plenty of material within the Star Trek universe without having to use the one iconic villain from the only previous movie that they probably have no chance of topping. That being said, Carbonell would be a great Khan.

AdolfOliverPanties: Diogenes: I think Montalban would be good with this.

I doubt he would put up much of an argument.

Star Trek 2: Weekend at Khan's

I like Nestor, but I still think that Ken Watanabe would make a great Khan.

But, but, but I can't see Khan wearing heavy eyeshadow...

Meh, not enthused about this guy as Khan, and even less so about them bringing back Khan. Seriously, there's a TON of other directions the movies could go, I'd hate to see it turn into nothing more than rehashing old plots.

How can you not like Batmanuel as Kahn?

I vote for... William Shatner as Khan.

That'd get him into the movie and/or end his biatching about not being invited to the last one.

/what a tweest!

GraysonAC: Meh, not enthused about this guy as Khan, and even less so about them bringing back Khan. Seriously, there's a TON of other directions the movies could go, I'd hate to see it turn into nothing more than rehashing old plots.

Especially since they pretty much gave themselves free rein with the alternate timeline thingy.

Dick Clark?

And even though everyone wants Khan to be the next villain

No, everyone does not want that.

For fark's sake, don't do Khan! There's no need to. He's floating out in the void and since the universe is changed, the Enterprise won't stumble onto Botany Bay now.

The fact that he's even mentioning any ideas or characters from the original series is further proof that he's a hack. YOU SAID IT WAS A NEW TIMELINE!!! If the original timeline wasn't good enough for you, why are you borrowing anything from it?!! I thought this new Star Trek was so farking superior to the old one? If you're going to pretend you know what you're doing, then prove it, hackjob. Don't throw more of the canon into the homogenization process you've got going to pull non-geeks in.

Eddie_Dean_NY: How can you not like Batmanuel as Kahn?

If its Batmanuel, then I want a giant blue man wearing a red shirt.

fark abrams, the 'chosen boy' boy who ruined star trek.

he did nothing but "be born" to get this frachise.

-well...he did chum up to tom cruise.

so he's got that going for him.

saw it...will never buy the dvd.

the movie was lame, as far as "star trek" is concerned.

of all the people they could have got to helm this movie...they pick the farking worst, undeserving punk to kill it.

-pox.

Khan happened before the new timeline, though. MEETING Khan, no, that hasn't happened yet. But he and his people did leave Earth long before Abrams made the old timeline go tits-up.

Rest assured I was on the internet within minutes registering my disgust throughout the world.

Schwarzenegger as khan

KHHHAAAAAAAANN!!!

Khan should be in the movie, but just for a second, like you'd just see him at a table in the background at the cantina.

sorry...pavel wasn't part of that mission.

he hadn't joined the crew yet.

-in "jjs" 'trek universe'...he's already part of the crew, before they would encounter the botony bay.

let's not make the same mistake twice.

kahn had never met checkov, prior to ceti alhpa 5.

you cannot change the laws of physics...unless you are "JJ", evidently.

i hope this is the last time star trek is spewed by a no-nothing hack.

bear in mind...abrams credits "star wars" as his great inspiration.

lucas- "let's have them escape the planet killer "death star", and then...have the 'princess' lead the empire right to their hidden base! (as opposed to going any where else in the farking universe, first, knowing that they are being tracked.)

unthinking masses- "that will be great, george!"

lucas is 100% bullshiat and fail.

my rage for this steaming shiatpile is massive.

-i respected gene roddenberry and his vision.

i only saw the movie to see what a true whore looked like.

Jmast7: But, but, but I can't see Khan wearing heavy eyeshadow...

I am so glad I'm not alone on that one!

Good LORD, someone has some serious poopy in their diaper.

Bauer: Have you ever kissed a girl?

DrZiffle: Bauer: Have you ever kissed a girl?

Of course he has. His mommy.

Eh, Abrams Star Trek was ok. I had some pretty big problems with it mostly being the total over-the-top portrayal of Chekov and Scotty and the fact that the Enterprise had massive water pipes and massive open warehouse-like spaces.

Diogenes: GraysonAC: Meh, not enthused about this guy as Khan, and even less so about them bringing back Khan. Seriously, there's a TON of other directions the movies could go, I'd hate to see it turn into nothing more than rehashing old plots.

Sure, but Khan is still out there, and the original universe Spock would have to tell Star Fleet about him.

Hell, they should deal with Khan by simply finding the Botany Bay and destroying it.

DrZiffle: Bauer: Have you ever kissed a girl?

NB: Your mommy doesn't count.

but I'm thinking that they'll probably aim for a bigger name actor if they actually go with Khan as a villain.

Apparently the author missed the first movie as far as importance of of casting big names goes.

CravenMorehead: DrZiffle: Bauer: Have you ever kissed a girl?

Dammit!!

Seeing how JJ just mentioned he's going to do more timeshifting with this movie just makes me not want to see it.

When will Hollywood learn that the more emphasis you place on time traveling the more likely your story isn't going to make sense.

Case and point: Primer

Star Trek was basically about traveling the cosmos, learning about new cultures, banging alien chicks and hoping that your warp engine core doesn't blow up on the way home.

As a long time trekker who was raised on the originals and watched TNG premier with stars in her eyes...

I farking loved the new movie if for no other reason than the delicious, cruel joy I get from watching a bunch of whiny farking fanboys piss and moan about the changes to their canon universe.

It was space opera. It couldn't hold Patrick Stewart's jock, but it sure as hell was better'n the last few Trek movies.

/I think I have a theme this week.
//as an aside, less lens flare would be cool

Just bought the blu-ray because the new star trek is pretty good.

If it were to be Khan, that would be a good choice. That guy is awesome.

Bauer: bear in mind...abrams credits "star wars" as his great inspiration.

Oh christ. We're all doomed. DOOMED I TELLS YA!!!!

DrZiffle: Bauer: Have you ever kissed a girl?

And he liked it.

/gonna get that earworm stuck in your head now, bub!

LegacyDL: When will Hollywood learn that the more emphasis you place on time traveling the more likely your story isn't going to make sense.

Maybe Abrams should redo "City on the Edge of Forever" just to piss off Harlan Ellison.

We don't know when Chekhov joined the mission. He very well could have been scrubbing plasma injectors during the first season. He could have been seen and remembered by Khan. Nerd raging about it is silly, IMO.
