seperis | star trek: in darkness speculation

Because reasons: io9 breakdown of trailer

Okay, Ami hit me with this in chat and if this happens? I will send JJ fruit baskets forever, okay. FOREVER.

amireal: I'm hoping it's a misdirect AND an iconic moment? Becasue I mean, I expected to be annoyed by reboot but then they made it THE SAME UNIVERSE ANYWAY
amireal: and I was happy
amireal: Spock tries to use genesis device on new planet and dies - hence Uhuru looking distraught and Kirk talking at funeral (Kirk is still junior - he'd only talk at the funeral of a crew member, not another officer). After a while Kirk/crew realise that Spock is still alive on planet and go renegade to get him (hence odd scarfs etc on Kirk and Uhuru). When they get to planet (red 'thread's are remnants of genesis) they discover not one but two Spocks - one from Spock's Vulcan DNA, one from human DNA. Let's call them Zach and Ben. Zach is now a more traditional Spock - the emotion from the original movie is now gone - and Ben is all the evil emotion and primal urges. Crew rescue Zach but for some reason Ben is left behind to fester. He meets Klingon, fights leader, wins and takes over Klingon ship before heading to Earth to get his revenge. From then on it's a standard who'll win, oh the good guys kind of plot.
Seperis: Now that is...interesting.
amireal: right?
Seperis: Oh dude.
amireal: or it could be sybok
Seperis: OH DUDE
amireal: *KOFF*
amireal: dude?
Seperis: DUDE
Seperis: SYBOK SURVIVED?
amireal: I dunno
amireal: ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE
amireal: he was older, already an outcast
amireal: I believe he left the planet
Seperis: I like th dou ble spock theory
amireal: maybe he went to get his ears tweaked b/c he hated vulcan so much@
Seperis: That would be intersting.
amireal: *nodnod*
amireal: omg
amireal: wiatwait
amireal: if its sybok
Seperis: Two. Spocks.
Seperis: No, ti's personal
amireal: no wait, nevermind rthat didn't work
amireal: but yes
Seperis: Sybok has no personal ties to Kirk
amireal: that
amireal: OKAY NO
amireal: wait
amireal: If it's two spocks
Seperis: The double spock theory is--workable with teh personal.
amireal: and the second, more emo
amireal: is getting revengve for say
amireal: AMANDA'S DEATH
Seperis: Being left behidn by his BFF?
amireal: THIS IS WHY WE DO NOT SEE CHECKOV
Seperis: Holy. Shit.
amireal: Because I think it is v strange we have not seen him
amireal: ghtggf
amireal: RIGHT
Seperis: Nine minute trailer will tell us
Seperis: OH MY GOD I AM GOING TO GO INTO HYSERICS
amireal: I know I know, patience
amireal: BUT STILL
amireal: *HOLDS YOUR HAND*
amireal: I may need to medicate myself for the 9 minute trailer
amireal: seriously I will bet you your midnight star trek tickets that Checkov not being in the trailer is a Thing

Seperis: THIS WILL BE EPIC
amireal: I AM A GENIUS NO?
Seperis: OH MY GOD THE SLASH
Seperis: THE SLASH
Seperis: You'd do anything for family --- AMANDA
amireal: frankly I'd be shocked if sybok wasn't mentioned b/c I am v. sure he's already off planet
amireal: even by the time Spock is BORN
amireal: which means his timeline is mostly undisturbed
amireal: OMG
amireal: SYBOK TEAMS UP WITH SOMEONE
amireal: okay no, now I'm getting wacky
amireal: SYBOCK IS PETER WELLER THE OLDER ADVISOR
amireal: ahem
amireal: ...I think I need some tranqs
Seperis: Can I psot your theory?
Seperis: In my LJ?
amireal: sure!
amireal: I may even participate in the convo

That's why he goes bad, you know -- all the good people hit him on the head or try to shoot him and constantly mistrust him, while there's this vast cohort of minions saying, We wouldn't hurt you, Lex, and we'll give you power and greatness and oh so much sex...

Obi-Wan has a sort of desperate, pathetic patience in this movie. You can just see it in his eyes: "My padawan is a psychopath, and no one will believe me; I'm barely keeping him under control and expect to wake up any night now to find him standing over my bed with a knife!"

Heh, I always characterized New!Kirk as so fucking smart but without giving one damn fuck at all but wanting to be more! And then when he got the chance, he still didn't give a fuck and decided to expand his philosophy to prefer to look like and be thought of as a slacker and then sucker punch the assholes when it'll do the most good.

And a good exploration of tarsus could add a lot of depth to the new kirk characterization! Man now I hope the movie is about Tarsus. Oh BC could even be Kodos's kid! Instead of the daughter who tries to seduce and kill Kirk! It's the son who tries to (seduce! COME ON YOU KNOW IT WOULD HAPPEN) and kill Kirk! And everyone he ever loved!

Man, even if we're totally off base, somebody should totally write that story.

Yes. Yes they do. I also call NOT IT. Though I'd be happy to provide ALL THE SOURCE MATERIAL EVER.

And now, just to get crazy, Kodos's kid can team up with any of the following: Kahn, Joachim, Sybok, Random Terra Nova dude who is Kahn's G.G.G. grandkid, Finnegan, Roger Corbin, JANICE LESTER OMG HOW COULD I FORGET HER???

...I still wanna know where Checkov was.
