He gets the chair, he loses the chair. First impression of that is Meh! ;)

Well one thing JJ's movie showed us is that it's damn easy to win and lose the Captain's chair.

I'm sure it will be great but part of me goes just have the damn chair and lets roll.

Here's my version of the movie poster taken on my last ski day right before New Years.

I didn't notice the similarity 'till Darrell pointed it out on Twitter. I just thought it was a fun picture to take :)

OK, this was posted over at the RPF and I think the source is reliable. This might be the real plot, so be warned if you don't like spoilers.[spoiler]
Older Spock from the future knows now what the Enterprise
is going to encounter on its five year mission. One of the larger
threats the crew faces is meeting up with the eugenics ship and
Khan. (Scene shown with the stasis tubes) Spock has Star Fleet intercept
the ship in advanced and personally wakes Khan. Spock is able to convince
Khan to go to work for Star Fleet as a special mission (like a seal team)
without telling him what originally occurred in his past. An event causes
Khan find out what Spock had done and he decides to wreak havoc on
Star Fleet knowing many of its inner secret through his Star Fleet
training. [/spoiler]

I just can't buy that premise. Out of everything he's seen, that's what he gets involved in?

Like I said, of all the speculation I have heard, this guy is an "insider" and has often been spot on. He says last year he read a few of the potential story lines and based on that and the trailers, this synopsis most closely matches what he read. It's convoluted but I can see how the jibe's with what we have seen so far.

I could see it

[spoiler]
being that that was the situation that resulted in his death. It might be more out of self interest of not seeing Quinto-Spock dying as well.

[spoiler] We have V'ger, the Borg, Khitomer, the Whale probe, the cardassian war, and the Q, that Spock knows about, but he goes after the most minor threat of all .. Khan? Khan is a personal threat of Kirk because of the tragedy that caused him to lose his woman. I just don't see how if John was Khan, he would ever learn what happened in the alternate time line or care about it.

It might be an augment story, but if this is the premise of the story, it's very very weak. I also don't see how the superior intellect would be upset that another universe version of him died. I'd think he was smart enough to know how to separate the two.[/spoiler]

But all of those incedents are post TOS, so considering where we are in the new timeline, this is the first "threat" that would be on his radar.

Yeah, but with the info of the future, you can pick and choose. Something just doesn't pass the test with that storyline.

[spoiler]Even if it's Early TOS, you had far bigger threats. Trelane. Not to doubt this guy's connections, but something doesn't fit and it looks more like he is trying to shoehorn an idea into the few seconds that were seen on screen. [/spoiler]

Yeah but that story doesn't put butt's in theater chairs. The one I posted does. :)
