Can. Not. Wait.

I remember Frazod talking about it after he got one. I don't remember if I went to Target and got one and told you they had a couple left or if it was the other way around and you told me. Either way Four!

I can't remember either. heh

Mine is still displayed prominently on my entertainment center.

A good theory i read out there yesterday was that this might be a "re-imagining" of the Space Seed episode. In this timeline, instead of the crew getting Khan out of suspended animation, its another crew member (Cumberbatch) they let out first. Khan would then show up later in the movie.

Definitely would need some plot hole filler for that one to start the movie. How long has Kirk been the captain now?

There is a shot in the trailer of something that looks like pods.

Im curious about that myself. and when does their "5 year mission" mission start? This movie?

The idea behind the reboot was that all ideas were used up. If this is Khan or Gary Mitchell and they're just redoing the same stories, what's the point?

I thought the idea behind the reboot was to allow them to use a new cast to fill old roles.

I thought the idea behind the reboot was for Paramount to earn millions of dollars from their I.P.

I see what you're saying and I mostly agree.

But I think they are ways to use the old ideas in new ways. Much like they did in the first one. I'm fine with using a lot of material from the initial timeline, just in a new way.

Its an easy way to steal material.

Sure.

But I don't really see it as stealing.

It's not "stealing" because Paramount owns the I.P.

Although if this villain is Khan or Gary Mitchell, I'll consider it lazy writing.

Its not technically stealing, but I bet the writers of the original episodes wouldn't agree.
