We saw the Enterprise shake and tilt to fire in many episodes. Never saw the disrupter hitting and damaging the ship as we have seen in Wrath and in Undiscovered. Since Gene’s passing we’ve seen Enterprise NX01 so messed up it took an advanced alien computer controlled repair complex to fix it. Go and look at Errand and you’ll see what I mean and compare it to Wrath and Undiscovered and it’s a huge difference.

Never saw a starfleet vessel take fire? Right away “Errand of Mercy” comes to mind. Quite sure we saw the Enterprise take fire on that one. Or am I misunderstanding here?

Yeah, other than the gaping holes Khan put in the side of Enterprise which the people in Spacedock marvel at during the opening of Search for Spock…. right? Put your point is correct, even there, as Roddenberry’s real control over the film franchise was gone by that point.

Wasn’t “The Wrath of Khan” Star Trek 2 the first time around? I did not see much of “The Motion Picture” in JJ Abrams first Star Trek he did. I think this rumor is an echo from an earlier time. I doubt very much that JJ will do something so derivative as The Great Bird of the Galaxy did when he put a TOS plot (The Naked Time) and did it again in TNG (The Naked Now). One rule GR had was you never saw a StarFleet vessel take fire. Look at “Undiscovered Country” where it was done for the first time. I believe GR was in the credits beyond the usual “based on Star Trek which was created by Gene Roddenberry.”

If Khan isn’t part of the next movie, they can just say that he is not. Being that the Trek University is so large as they say, there is no harm in ruling that out right away and move on.

That comment doesn’t really make any sense. Roddenberry himself didn’t really like TWOK. He thought that Meyer and Harve Bennet were making his Trek far too military in nature. He didn’t really like it at all. So, I guess this comment was true circa 1981… you know… the first time Khan was taken from the hands of the Great Bird… and thank God.

JJ Abrams has already shown a disregard for the rules of Star Trek. So he’s going to do what he going to do. He is NOT Harve Bennet and probably has his own ideas on what to do next so I don’t look for him to duplicate The Wrath of Kahn. He has his own plot lines to grind into film.
