Do they pay you to screw that tribble?

Well known Spanish actor + Star Trek = ?

Didn't they promise not to redo Khan?

beelzebubba76: If it's going to be Khan, they should have gone with the obvious choice ... Shah Rukh!

Actually, wouldn't that be Kal Penn? Since Margaret Cho or whoever is already part of the cast, it'd be Harold and Kumar....in space! shiat, it has to be better than the last three movies.

As for Khan, that wouldn't work within the confines of one film without a lot of changes. The story arc takes place over 15 years. And one of the central themes is Kirk facing middle age. The guy who plays Kirk now is what, 16? And they're not going to kill Spock again. Plus they'd have to shoehorn WWIII taking place in the 1990s.

Your brain is apparently very limited in its capabilities.

Just because they've cast a Hispanic actor (del Toro is Puerto Rican) doesn't mean he has to play a character played by another Hispanic actor.

You haven't paid much attention to Hollywood lately, have you?

I can actually think of lots of novel ways that Del Toro could be used as a Star Trek villain. I just don't have much faith in the people who make movies these days to not do the safe, obvious, profitable thing.

You Are All Sheep: WWIII is an easy 15 minute beginning of the movie showing some really cool shoot 'em up boom boom and then toward the end of the world khan and what not shoot themselves into space as that history wasn't changed by Nero

Yeah, I guess. I always found it strange that Roddenberry created this utopian future that was supposed to be so optimistic, yet he still wrote in a Wold War III within our lifetimes.

Would it kill them to create an original villain? It's bad enough that with a universe that is arguably the largest ever created in modern literature that they had to go back to the Kirk and Spock well but they have to mine the villains as well? They know they're not going to top Wrath of Khan so why try? These guys aren't going to chew the scenery the way Monalban and Shatner did.

Well, if they were silly enough to actually do Khan, it would be the young Kirk and Khan from the TV episode, not the one from the movies. Spock dies in the move.

With a name like yours, I would expect you to know this. Shame on you.

Yes, Space Seed. Great television episode, not great major motion picture material.

Well, actually they could go the Die Hard route. Khan takes over the Enterprise and Kirk climbs into a Jeffrie's tube and he's the only chance anyone's got.

/33 decks of adventure!

Yippie ki yay, Mr. Fal-Khan!

I somehow doubt it'll be Khan. Just because he's Hispanic that's what people automatically assume? Really?

can we STOP revisting TOS?
for the love of god.

I watched the series live when it was first run. I am rewatching it, yet again as we speak. but FFS, the movies do not need to revisit every nerd's wet dream.

sigh

/should add more ewoks!!

stoli n coke: ThisSideofSteinway: strangeguitar: Hand me the farking Enterprise, you cocksucker, what the fark?

Captain Kirk's going to get flipped for real.

It's odd that I understand Del Toro's Spanish in "Traffic" easier than I can understand his English in "Usual Suspects."

LOL

Khan? O_O

To be fair, Kahn WAS supposed to be Indian. They just cast Montalban in the role because most Americans in the 60s wouldn't know the difference.

Well Kahn was also a product of eugenics. so I'm not sure what 'Indian' would mean in that context.

plus indians are caucasians. some are dark, some are light, some are inbetween.

Larry Mahnken: They should start the first two minutes of the second film with the Enterprise finding and destroying the SS Botany Bay on the orders of the original Spock. I mean, seriously, Spock would be negligent to not inform Star Fleet that Khan is out there.

Well if the events in Wrath of Khan didn't take place, Spock wouldn't have died. If Spock didn't die, they wouldn't have been on Vulcan when Earth got attacked by the whale probe thing. They could have been stuck on Earth and Earth could have been destroyed. Of course I suppose he could have warned them about the whale probe thing too. Therein lies the problem with time travel stories. There's a shiatload of things Spock could have warned everyone about. He could have told Kirk not to sire that pussy son of his for one thing, that would have solved a lot of problems.

or dropping them on a planet that spock knows is stable. and sterilizing them from orbit.

"Spock fingered my asshole tonight!"

"Is it Friday night already?"

Who's to say he doesn't? He doesn't have to worry about changing history anymore, and I'm sure he'd give Starfleet the heads-up on things like V-Ger. Why would he want to watch his younger self have the same adventures anyway?
