Thoughts so far?

I've heard people bag on Enterprise quite a bit.

Enterprise suffered from potential, excellent sets, excellent actors, and several seasons of really bad story ideas with even worse writing. Nobody needed the Xindi thing, nobody wanted it. It had a few good episodes, true, but I'm sorry.... basing the entire show on a temporal cold war from start to finish was a bad idea. Nobody wanted that, and very few people liked it. I mean heck, what did we get of actual exploration in the show between the suliban and the xindi? Half a season without a recurring bad guy? Maybe? I rest my case.

I liked Enterprise just fine.

It suffered from what many shows today have going for them, too many hands in the kitchen...everyone wants a turn...in the end I would rather watch marginally appreciated Star Trek then any reality show, average TV shmutz, or related.

Me too, Rel. Me too.

And Jev.... my word.... they are really throwing us for loops now, aren't they? Dr Marcus is back? And in Starfleet? And now we have John Harrison? Who the heck is that guy? And how is he from Trek Canon? What, was he redshirt number four or something? lol

“In ‘Space Seed,’ Harrison was nearly suffocated to death on the Enterprise bridge by unfrozen superman Khan.”

I for sure thought it was going to be more of a Gary Mitchell villain, although it still could be but with a different name.

it was ok, though I only watched the first two episodes.

[Jev Moldara]

I still think it's Khan.

Remember when Marion Cotillard was cast as Miranda Tate in The Dark Knight Rises? Everyone was assuming that she might actually be Talia al'Ghul. However, the studio categorically denied that it was Talia on multiple occasions. Guess what... it was her.

Might be the same scenario here.

Of course, the Garth of Izar theory is a good one as well.

A third option is that this might actually be a canon character.... http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Harrison and perhaps Peter Weller will be playing Khan...

I saw what you did there...


In TOS Season 1 Episode 15 "Shore Leave" Kirk meets up with his adversary and bully from his academy days, Upperclassman Sean Finnegan appears and torments Kirk again...but it is all part of an extensive pleasure/R&R planet's effort tofufillyour deepest wish...Kirk's was to get back at Finnegan.

Thinking that it's Technician Harrison, suffering some Gary Mitchell type effect either from one of numerous possible alien phenomena he could have been exposed to on a previously canon or new to the film mission, or perhaps most likely...... Khan does something to him. Khan is then dispatched. Harrison goes insane o and starts trying to carry out the dream Khan gave him of conquering all life as we know it with his new found superpowers.

Also.... the only family he has left: his crew. line from the synopsis. Let's address that real quick and make the call right now: Dr Marcus stands a very good chance of getting killed off in this movie. I'm fifty fifty on David making any appearance or surviving one.

Funny you mention that,

This is just ScreeRant's thoughts on their IMAX Preview.

If there is a comparison to be made between the opening of Star Trek 2/Star Trek into Darkness to other films, it would be a cross between the opening of Raiders of the Lost Ark and a typical James Bond movie. That is to say that it opens with a sequence that (at this point) seems disconnected from the main story, and is instead presented to establish the characters and where they are contextually within the Star Trek universe.

The introduction indicates that the film does not pick up directly after the end of the first film – instead it shows that the starship Enterprise is already into its mission, and that the crew has been working together for a while. The relationships seem more established – and Kirk is put into a position where he must choose between the needs of the many or the needs of the few. It also depicts the USS Enterprise in a situation we haven’t seen before, and we have no doubt that Trekkies will debate the viability of the ship’s ability to function in this environment.

Prior to the Bond/Raiders-esque sequence, there is a short series of scenes that do tie into the plot – and they are enticingly vague. Benedict Cumberbatch does make an appearance – and that appearance is of a nature that will spark some debate regarding the competing rumors as to who, exactly, he plays in the film.
