I have a good feeling, I think this sequel will exist in the Godfather 2, Dark Knight, and Wrath of Khan territory...I think the creative team of this movie make good choices and the casting shows it.

[Rico]

I agree completely Chris.  I think it's going to rock even more than the last film.

Ok, I just got the scoop on the plot of the next Trek movie! Seems as if JJ is going to do some cross-franchising here. The crew of the Enterprise will find the worm hole through time that Nero used and go back to Earth on September 22 2004 and bump an airplane as it enters the Earth's atmosphere. Oddly enough, that airplane is an Oceanic Air flight # 815, and causes it to break up and crash land on an island. Of course, Kirk feeling quite guilty for causing this disaster decides to live on the island and help the survivors under the name "Jacob". Now, Spock, citing the Prime Directive, argues with Kirk and this disagreement develops into a serious battle in which Kirk, being more "powerful", imprisions Spock in a "smoke-like" form.
:) Hey, it could happen!!! :)

Maybe Peter Weller is going to reprise his role as John Paxton, CEO of the Orpheus Mining Authority seen on Enterprise.
He was taken into custody at the end.
They could pick up that thread if he was put in stasis or did a little time travel.

His xenophobic 'Terra Prime' movement is could be back.

Yeah, agree with you and Rico. I think they're smart and talented enough to pull this off. They've had enough time to think about it. :)

Hmmm I wonder if they'd go there?

No more time travel. I'm sure he'll be a different character.
