Thanks for the insight on this one. I'm loyal enough I'd have seen it without any tie-in characters coming back. On the other hand, I can see lots of fans wouldn't be so accepting.

I'm glad they didn't include Kirk/Shatner. He's a good guy but this film really needs fresh blood to be a win.

There were several proposed ideas, but now they decided to make the movie a “canon” prequel that truly connects to the first original 6 movies. The new screenwriters were afraid that if it had no timeline connection to the other “Kirk and Spock” movies, then it would be a failure. And they are definitely right about that.

Part of the story is “the old Spock goes back time to visit himself when he first joined the team”. The movie will do well just because of Nimoy. Originally, Kirk was considered to be ressurrected, to also travel back and visit his younger self. But then focus of the film would have been about the resurrection of Kirk, and nothing else.

Yeah, more of the old boys team would be nice. That said, I realize they are trying to get a fresh start on the franchise. A reboot they are calling it. Takei has been one of the few that's really been so outfront. More power to him for still playing to the fans.

That was a nice little “geek vid.” Always count on sci-fi music to take you elsewhere, even if you don't really listen to it.

Too bad Takei is not in the new upcoming Stark Trek movie with Leonard Nimoy. The original cast was classic.
