ST:XI Predictions Thread

[kostmayer]

Yeah, apparently theres also ten prequels in the works.

[Sionnach Glic]

Sequals, man. sequals. Get your temporal relationships sorted out!

[Mikey]

Well, nine pre-sequels, and one half-sequel/half-prequel.

Good Lord, Adams was right. The most difficult thing about time travel is the grammar.

Who needs grammar???

Granpa?

What the hell, here's my prediction. Spoilage is only based on what I've read at trekmovie.com.

- Romulus gets blowed up real good (as the result of a war with the Klingons?), Nero escapes. He blames the Vulcans, and Spock in particular, for failing to act to save his planet. He steals the Narada and goes back in time.
- Kirk is messing around in Iowa, rides past the Enterprise.
- Flashback to to 2230s: Kelvin is transporting a bunch of people, Narada arrives and attacks them, Capt Robau is killed by an exploding console, and George Kirk takes command. Winona Kirk goes into labor, George Kirk takes command and uses some daring tactic to buy enough time for the people to evacuate, while sacrificing himself after 12 minutes of combat. Jim Kirk is born on the medical shuttle, and Nero ends up getting captured by the Klingons.
- Young Jim Kirk is living with his uncle, who's a dick, so he decides to semi-suicidally drive the guy's vintage car off a cliff. Jim is troubled, reckless and a badass.
- Young Spock is growing up on Vulcan and struggles with cultural issues.
- Kirk gets into a bar fight. Pike is there to inspect the Enterprise, gives his speech.
- Kirk goes to Starfleet Academy, meets the other crew members, gets down with the Orion girl, cheats on the Kobayashi Maru test. They end up getting assigned to a training mission with Pike.
- Nero escapes from the Klingon prison and takes back the Narada (has he hidden it?), then he goes back in time.
- "We've received a distress call." The Narada comes to attack Vulcan, the Enterprise goes to fight Nero. Some of the crew go down to the surface to help, Pike is killed, Spock assumes command, they manage to fight Nero off.
- They're trying to figure out what to do, and Kirk and Spock get into an argument. Spock is acting irrationally for some reason, he shoves Kirk onto an escape pod and puts him on Delta Vega.
- Kirk escapes some monsters, Scotty goes looking for him. Kirk meets old Spock, who has come back in time in his little timeship to save the day. He tells Kirk what to do. Kirk and Scotty return to the Enterprise, and old Spock follows them in his timeship.
- Nero decides to attack Earth. Spock ends up getting captured, and he meets old Spock somehow. Old Spock tells him that he's not ready to be captain yet, because of all the stuff he's dealing with, and that Kirk is an okay guy. Kirk assumes command and engages the Narada.
- Nero fires on San Francisco, so Kirk, Sulu and a redshirt parachute down to fight his guys on the drilling platform. Some epic combat takes place, the redshirt gets killed, they disrupt the drilling process. Perhaps Nero is there and fights with Kirk.
- Kirk and Spock get back on the Enterprise, and there's an awe inspiring space battle scene. Nero is like, "Fire everything!", and old Spock ends up slamming his timeship into the Narada to help the Enterprise. Nero is defeated, Kirk becomes the youngest starship captain ever, and they warp away into the sunset.

But there are still some parts of that that don't jive for me, and I'm sure that I've gotten it significantly wrong.

Not really a good prediction but I forsee a kick arse sound track. JJ Abrams is famous for them.

We can only hope! 8)


Have you listened to the theme on the site?

Sounds pretty good, but I hope the don't over emphasize the TOS drums too much, I think it may sound better if they are kept more low key, otherwise it could come off sounding goofy.

But I guess I'll just have to wait and see!

I remember when I felt that way, way way back three weeks after I joined.

Actually, I should note that this isn't my first forum.

I'm on quite a few forums and have around 1,000+ posts+threads on them.

[Lazar]

I saw some car forum once where there were several people who had like 20 or 30 thousand posts.

[Mark]

[Captain Seafort]

That's nothing. Have a look at SDN - Mike Wong's got over sixty thousand posts.

Give me a couple of years.
