I have seen the new Star Trek movie and it is well worth it. I do not see a lot of movies any longer but was impressed by this. It is a reboot which wipes the slate clean. Writers of future sequels will not have to worry about those silly little continuity issues as this is a new Trek Universe. There will be two sequels. Of course I would love to be the one to start the rumor that Patrick Stewart and Whoppi Golberg (See #2 below) have been signed on to participate in the next film, but I suspect I have already been beaten to the punch line there.
Who should be the villian in the sequels? Here are my top 10 possibilities, no lizzards need apply.
10. V'ger...because Gene Roddenberry and Robert Wise are not around to mess it up this time. Mr. Wise did a fine job at directing Julie Andrews around Austria, but did the Trek creators see Andromada Strain before they hired him to direct Star Trek: The Motion Picture?
9. Tribbles.
8. Dr Janice Lester...Think of what really could happen if an evil woman switch bodies with this Cpt Kirk?
7. Data's evil brother Lore...both android were constructed by this time-frame.
6. Klingons...the old tried and true enemies of the federation.
5. Q...Tisted, scheming...can make it all better afterwards...can Trek Writers really avoid putting him in a movie? Or is his sole purpose in life to torment Jean Luc Picard.
4. Harry Mudd...he's twisted, he's scheming and leaves you guessing. This turn into do for Trek what The Dark Knight's joker did for the Batman franchise.
3. The Doomsday Machine...This device was scary enough with 1960s TV special effects. 21st Century effects
2. The borg...the only reason these guys were not in the original series is because they had not been invented by the writers. With this being a new universe, anything can happen. Resistance is futile.
1. Kahn...and there are plenty of muscular, young latinos that could play the part. Can Chis Pine shout as loud as Shatner?
