I like the "not just another disgruntled alien" comment. It'll be interesting to see which direction they go.

I'm just hoping its not "disgruntled human supremacist seeks to disband federation" since thats just another version of disgruntled alien but I'm confident they'll tell a fun story with this film.

"I think people just want to have a scoop. It annoys me it's beyond the point to just ferret around for spoilers all the time to try to be the first to break them. It just spoils the film. It masquerades as interest in the movie but really it's just nosiness and impatience. You just want to say, 'Oh gently caress off! Wait for the film!'" Yep, Simon Pegg owns.

I think some allegedly reliable sources for websites said that that's who he was playing. EDIT: LatinoReview may have been one of the sites that started it.

Someone Who's Not Khan has been played by actors who are Not White, so it's totally unfair to hand that role to a white actor.  maybe he'll be a tribble

Obviously this is Hitler Khan, Khan's older half-brother who was on the OTHER Botany Bay.

He isn't playing Khan Noonien Singh, he's playing Ken Nooners Singer, a genetically engineered european warlord with a love for Tuscan fabric seats in his cars. edit: also polka and other white things

Mahoning posted:Orrrrr, along these same lines, he's playing that thing that the Enterprise D gave birth to in "Emergence" Nah, he's clearly a shoe-in for the role of a two-dimentional life form trying to make its way back to its home in a cosmic string. It'll mesh perfectly with the 3D Paramount wanted added.

That enemy captain from The Balance of Terror. It's going to be a massive-budget space-submarine film and I'm going to love every second of it.

I have it on good authority that, through CGI similar to that used on Armie Hammer in The Social Network, he will be playing both of the whales from ST IV.

Now that we've changed topics to the dangers of the online rumor mill, didn't people also get bent when someone even hinted at the concept of reboot-Harry Mudd being played by Will Ferrell? Also joining the bandwagon that thinks Simon Pegg's quote is fantastic.

I got the Hot Wheels model of the Enterprise 2009 of eBay for about $45 (including postage). I have a feeling I got ripped on the price, but I'm still happy with it. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I was hoping the villain was Khan rather than the Borg, because the Borg was overexposed with First Contact and Voyager. Seeing a reimagined Khan could have been fun.

I agree the Borg is over done with previous Trek, but I think it would be really interesting to introduce the borg with this new Trek universe. You can play them more as just a straight and terrifying threat and get away from the stupidity(IMO) of the show and trying to "know the Borg" and all that understanding/co-exist peace bullshit. I get that is kind of the stories they wanted to tell on TNG/Voyager but honestly it's lame trying to do that with the Borg. They don't need to be understood and have a big alien understanding pow-wow. I would rather they just be scary almost unstoppable space hive zombies. I think it would actually play to the strengths of the new style and tone they are going for with the new Trek movies.

It's really amazing just how badly Voyager managed to take the concept of the Borg out back and raped it violently. TNG Borg are all huge threat to the galaxy, leave destruction in their wake and there's nothing you can do to stop them, VOY Borg are like a nuisance of the week that somehow this lone ship piloted by people really bad at their job manages to easily dispatch several times, I think they somehow ended up killing all the Borg at one point too.

This is more thought than the Voyager writers ever put into it, but I always imagined that the Borg queen was essentially the result of the TNG crew meddling--Hugh and probably Picard's experience--as the collective tried to cope. Like, a glitch in the system or whatever. It would explain the Borg's sudden obsession with humanity and account for how the collective essentially broke down throughout Voyager's run. I always thought that was an interesting way to look at it. Cuz, in a way, Picard and the Queen were both after their own white whales in First Contact.

I'm just tired of the whole assimilation/hive-mind archetype -- Borg, Zerg, Tyranid, the Matrix machines, etc. Hell, even the Chitauri apparently.
