Star Trek 12 news/countdown thread

Well he is AUSTRALIAN like an evil DJ.

EDIT: Oh, apparently Kyle was English. Wasn't there an Australian one?
 
They should drop GUINAN right in the middle of a big battle, and they all stop figthing and look awkwardly at each other, and then GUINAN shrugs and flies away.
 
Using Garth of Izar would certainly take people unawares, but wasn't he an ordinary man (albeit of high rank in Starfleet) who went mad? Cumberbatch's character seems to have super powers judging by his giant leap seen in the trailer.
 
No. Lazarus wasn't a Starfleet officer and from all evidence presented so far, Cumberbatch is playing a Starfleet officer.

Here's the facts.
Old timeline, Garth was a Starfleet officer. Something happened that cost him his command, resulted in injuries devastating enough that he was given the ability to shape shift and enhanced strength, made him insane with rage and he vowed revenge on Starfleet for his disgrace.
 
William Shatner COULD be in STxII as the OLDER Kirk Pine, DECADES in the future, recollecting & reflecting on his days as skipper of the 1701. Kind of like how Ru'afo recollected & reflected on his days knowing Mozart in "Amadeus".
 
Here's how Frakes thinks Capt. Picard could be in next Trek film

Think that Leonard Nimoy's return appearance as Spock in J.J. Abrams' 2009 Star Trek reboot was the coolest thing ever? How about getting someone from Star Trek: The Next Generation in on the next Trek film, too? Someone like Capt. Jean-Luc Picard (Sir Patrick Stewart). Here's what Jonathan Frakes has to say about it.

In an interview with NBC, the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D's own Number One, actor and director Jonathan Frakes, spoke about the Star Trek reboot and whether it precluded the idea that all the members of the TNG crew could reunite on the screen.

Here's what Frakes had to say:

"I am very hopeful. I'm not sure where we would be — I happen to be a fan and a friend of J.J.'s and I think he's rebooted the franchise in the most successful and wonderful way imaginable. And I'm really excited about the second movie. I think maybe some version of what they did with Leonard Nimoy in the first movie would be the way to go: they would pepper in one of us. I would imagine they'd start with Picard if they could. It would involve our usual time travel/quantum anomaly/black hole/some sci‑fi version of how we all get there."

Do you think it possible for a member of TNG—especially Capt. Picard (he could teach the Picard Maneuver to Chris Pine's Capt. Kirk)—to appear in a future Star Trek film? Would you think it to be a good idea? And if so, which Enterprise-D character do you think should be the one to beam aboard Abrams' Trek reboot?

I kind of had that thought when I read it too. I expect these kinds of pipe dreams from Garrett Wang, Tim Russ and Walter Koenig, but not from Frakesy. How can he really think this is a possibility? Maybe if they were doing five of these new movies there could be a place for a quick cameo, or a video on a screen, but not bringing the whole TNG cast in. Not only is establishing the new actors a main priority, but so is distancing it from the old shows and movies. This is even less likely than Captain Worf.
 
Surely he can't need the work that badly, I thought they got paid for every repeat for all time, unlike the TOS cast, who only ever got two repeat fees.
 
He can't be too senile, he still gets several TV directing gigs a year. Since there's no video, for all we know he was rolling his eyes the whole time while he talked about it.

But yeah, he really can't hope for anything better than a quick "message from Admiral Janeway" cameo.
