Harlan Ellison Wants J.J. Abrams To Hire Him For Star Trek 2

Yeah, I agree no more time travel. However this guy wrote one of the best episodes ever, it'd be interesting to see what he would do with the new time line characters.

yeah, and he had a wicked proposal for a star trek movie back in the day that was shut down.

And even though the episode was great, I've read his script with the elements gene deleted and it was way better. He wanted to make a commentary on drug use but gene wouldn't have it. You can find his original script fairly easy, and it's a great read underhill.

I don't think we'll see him making any contribution to the next movie, but it'd be cool if he did.

Please no Kahn! Lets keep up the ORIGINALITY of the previous movie. I for one don't want to spend my money on a story I've already seen.

Kahn would frickin' rock especially with the action direction Abrams has gone. Kaaahn!

if he let the pointed ear guy cameo in the first movie so whywont he hire this guy?

please no Khan and no time travel. just move forward from what the started in the last one. with time altered, they could literally do ANYTHING. they could even have kirk's crew discover the borg, even though the borg were normally discovered by picard's crew...on accident, and kirk's crew never ran into them. but come on, they can do ANYTHING now. don't just rehash old stories.

i would much rather have this movie be about the discovery of the Borg. or about klingons. or ANYTHING, but not kahn.

Q made Picards crew find the borg in a ep. then the borg made it a set goal to find them.

And Kirk and spock in the old movies found V.E.G.E.R i think it was that had been messed with by the borg?

so they could find them in this timeline that would be cool.

corn- yea i know and i meant that if he let leonard nimoy cameo in the first movie then y he cant hire this guy to write the scripit for the second movie

At the heart of the massive ship, V'ger is revealed to be Voyager 6, a 20th-century Earth space probe believed lost. The damaged probe was found by an alien race of living machines that interpreted its programming as instructions to learn all that can be learned, and return that information to its creator. The machines upgraded the probe to fulfill its mission, and on its journey the probe gathered so much knowledge that it achieved consciousness. Spock realizes that V'ger lacks the ability to give itself a focus other than its original mission; having learned what it could on its journey home, it finds its existence empty and without purpose. Before transmitting all its information, V'ger insists that the Creator come in person to finish the sequence. Realizing that the machine wants to merge with its creator, Decker offers himself to V'ger; he merges with the Ilia probe and V'ger, creating a new form of life that disappears into another dimension. With Earth saved, Kirk directs the Enterprise out to space for future missions.

granted it doesn't say Borg it is a alien race of living machines. so it kinda is borg but they didn't have a name yet im guessing.
