Next Star Trek Film Predictions

Hey everyone, I was just thinking about the next movie recently and after listening to the new writers talk about the project and the fat it's being written as we speak, it's lead me to believe that the film might involve the massive elephant in the room from ID, that being the "immortality" blood from Kahn that can seemly heal anything. It would make for an interesting moral dilemma between the "science" of the process and the idea of "should one have the power to control this substance? Should the federation? And how would it be used?"
Anyways, just wondering what other people have theorized about the next movie.

That doesnt need to be a factor.
I mean in ST4 they time traveled basically because they felt like it... that wasn't a "big elephant" later on either.

We're not a very cohesive fandom.
Followed by more JJ bashing in Ten Forward.

1) It's an odd numbered movie. (Oh *****)
2) JJ will no longer be directing this film.
3) Damon Lindelof, one of the staff, will no longer be working on this movie.
With JJ airlocked, who knows what kind of direction the movie will take. Hopefully it adheres closer to TOS, and not another "let's beam across time and space to the frakking Klingon homeword and Section 31 and Khan and tribbles and Mudd and Praxis and Chapel and Captain Sulu and....

the thread is linked with jjcrap, there are members like myself who hate everything to do with it is like irresistible bait, and then you got those fans of that TRIBBLE who curse us haters for it without professing too much they love it, more perfect bait. look around more, there are threads over the years with these types of certain flame fests. thats what :P

It will have an even worse sense of scale than the last one, but better than the first one.

Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

You wont find many friends of JJ on STO. He ruined our prime universe the game is set in by blowing up Romulus. I haven't even seen ID myself lol.
I personally don't mind that. It opened up a lot of potentially great character storylines (some of which we see in STO).

Personally, I like the new Romulan storyline. It gives the Star Empire a reason to restart its Cold War with the Federation.

Immortality blood, just like transwarp beaming, time travel at will, and that weird-TRIBBLE planet in Insurrection, wil be completely ignored in the future. Everything will remain at status quo, just like always. And no matter how it's written, who produces, who directs, or whatever changes or remains the same, a bunch of folks here in Ten Forward are going to complain that it's the death of Star Trek.
Just like every change has been since the first movie came out.
all i can tell you is that you will find these types of battles between nerds/geeks over their preferred choice. most iconic example is star wars vs star trek

Oh dear. :P Can't people leave each other's respective fandoms alone, and never intertwine them?

hahahaha! but its true though :P

But one quibble; the Ba'ku planet in Insurrection was outright stated to be a finite resource; impossible to get the radiation to benefit the wider universe without destroying the planet's capacity to sustain life. And once Picard blew up the collector, there wasn't even the tech for that.
So at least they gave a REASON for the status quo being maintained. JJcrap doesn't.
I actually kind of like the whole planet-blown-up thing, even if it does seem like some idiot Iconian jumped the gun by 20+ years on that one.
ID is action-packed and a fun movie (with some glaring "come ON" moments and bad acting from Kirk and Love Interest Chick), that has absolutely zero credibility once you start to think about it.
It's got more plot holes than a Dutch dam made of Swiss cheese, Benedict Cumberbatch is an obviously better actor than the rest of the cast put together (and that's saying something, given that Spock, Bones, Uhura, Sulu, and Scotty are all well-acted in their unfairly small parts), and the LENS FLARE is nuts.
Plus there's an explosion every 5 minutes, science and astronomy get thrown out the window, and Kirk for some insane reason does a 1-ship mission to SHOOT TORPEDOES AT QO'NOS. To kill ONE GUY.
Sure, he decides not to because Spock basically says "Dude, seriously? You want the Klingons to be pissed at you now, too?", but he still CONSIDERS it.
SO yeah. Decent if you're drunk, but makes "Sharknado" look good otherwise. Because at least "Sharknado" had a vaguely consistent plot.
Just like the time travel method used in "Assignment Earth" and ST IV; just like the Guardian of Forever, which was never mentioned again until STO; just like using the transporter and a stored DNA sample to restore a crew member with a lethal disorder; just like half a hundred other little details from half a hundred episodes and movies that, if properly explored, would have changed the entire Trekverse forever.
It's a pretty weaksauce criticism. And the poor astronomy affects almost everything in Trek, from ENT having Qo'noS less than a week from Earth at warp 5, to the stellar naming conventions in TNG, to the idea of Bajor having a class-M moon (I could see an Earthlike moon orbiting a transJovian planet, but for Bajor it would have been a binary planet, not a "moon"), to the idea of asteroids one could live on, to an event horizon with a crack in it, to... well, you get my drift, I'm sure. Let's just say that astrophysical accuracy has never been among the top goals of any Trek writers.

Well, to be fair, Kirk was motivated by revenge at that point in the film. He would of done anything to avenge Pike's murder. He wasn't thinking rationally, which is realistic. I saw that as a parallel to when prime universe Kirk from ST:VI would let the Klingons die rather than develop peaceful relations with them. He eventually learned that was not the right thing to do. Just like JJKirk realized. However, ST:VI dealt with that whole "revenge" issue better.
...okay, probably not.
yep, hate just because it ain't the original. Happens with EVERYTHING.
Unusual timing. My non-Trekkie co-worker was noting today that he thought ST woefully under utilizes the transporter concept, then started spouting off idea after idea of how to use it. Some of what he mentioned was found somewhere in one of the series. Others, I could name the book and synopsis that addressed it. ("beam bombs" yeah, see the game transporter in My Enemy, My Ally. "body repair and swapping" yeah, that's in The Price of the Phoenix, etc.) His point was made though. Trek could push the transporter technology even further in useful ideas.
That's the problem with the JJporter. In Star Trek, and especially TNG where the technicalities of it were fleshed out, the transporter was a limited device. It couldn't break physics and beam people anywhere instantaneously, let alone from one moving planet to another moving planet months away by warp speed.
According to the JJporter, there really isn't a need for starships to explore the galaxy. Now you can teleport anywhere, and be home for supper. It's ridonkulous.
