There is also Anna Sandesjo/Lurqal of the Star Trek: Vanguard novels that take place around the same time as TOS, she was a klingon double agent

1) One of the films writers have said he is someone from Trek Canon. In terms of well known figures that doesn't leave a whole lot from the TOS era (unlikely they'd do another time travel deal after the 1st one). So we have Khan, Mitchell, and a maybe a couple of Klingons Kirk faced off against. If it's someone more obscure it could anyone who made an appearance in the old series (for example TOS had a crew member named "Harrison" who appeared in a number of episodes, including Khan's 'Space Seed'). 2) Urban did call Cumberbatch's character Gary Mitchell, but recanted that shortly afterwards saying he was knackered from a 22 hour flight before that interview. Being tired did he simply mistake the name or did he slip up and let that cat out of the bag? 3) The comic book writer has said issue 1 of his comics holds a hint to this film. That dealt with this new timeline's handling of Mitchell (afaik the films writers are not considering anything the comics do outside of the official prequel books as canon, so if they want to do Mitchell completely differently they obviously can). Biggest argument against all this though would be that Mitchell was American, and Cumberbatch is obviously playing this with his British accent intact.

I can see why some might think Abram's is being kinda greedy though, but put in his position I figure most of us would do exactly the same (Have both Star Trek & Star Wars to play with? Yes please). I'd guess the more partisan fans might not though...

Well, stranger things have happened. Who ever thought that after the successful reboot of Trek, JJ would direct the next new Star Wars film? Weird, indeed. As for Urban calling the character Gary Mitchell? It wasn't a slip up....I think the cat was let out of the bag; sleep or no sleep. But thanks for backing me up; much appreciated ![]()

I want to see Lt. M'Ress the Caitian (and if she has a crush on her engineering boss Scotty, so much the better).. this would be a great way to explore some neglected characters from the more disparate avenues of continuity and bring them back to the fore...

http://www.startrek.com/article/coun...ness-continues Comic #2 preview. More with April. He's supposed to be dead. Kirk mentions an Enterprise mission 20 years prior. So its not a matter of him being some kind of captain during construction.
http://www.startrek.com/article/coun...ness-continues April's ship is an older Enterprise that was decomissioned two years prior to the time of this comic, so sometime shortly before the first film. |

They keep putting out that exact same featurette. I'm not sure why.

what about Yeoman Rand and Nurse Chapel? They need to be brought into the stories, too, especially if this is an "all new" continuity, they could boost the gender diversity.

They seem to mostly want Uhuru as female lead In Star Trek.Even Mccoy may be taking back seat to Uhuru In films now.

Pretty obvious they canceled the Star Trek panel because they don't want people to ask Abrams about Star Wars and make jokes.

Will we see some alternate designs for starfleet ships? Is everything going to be the saucer with the cylinder main body and nacelles?

It's an odd narative choice, but I guess it does address the rushness of Kirk taking over as captain in the first film. While I didn't mind it, some people thought it was too convenient and abrupt. Here, this shows the after effects and consequences of this fast promotion.
