Official Synopsis For STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS Hits

Sounds like Gary Mitchell to me!!!

Am I the only one who is more excited for Cumberbatch's performance than the actual movie?

Tons of movies to look forward to and this is definately one of them!!! Can't wait!!!

No one else thinks that the epic chess game of life and death is closer to Kirk's battle with Khan?

I'm good with Gary Mitchell if it turns out to be him....hell I'd be good if it was Harry Mudd hahaha. Effin love Star Trek. So glad it's glory has been restored after Enterprise took a dump on it.

Well we already knew the bad guy was a member of starfleet. This told us NOTHING.

and I know they were aired out of order. the Gary Mitchell episode was the third one aired I think but it was in fact the first one they filmed with Shatner.

Friendships torn apart? They weren't friends to begin with!

I wonder how this version of Gary Mitchell gets his powers.

@TheFox I agree with you, I don't like speculate who the villian is going to be, all i know is that it should be a good movie. All we gotta remember is that it's two weeks until we get a trailer with the hobbit movie.

@RR51 no you aren't, especially now that I've finally seen season one of Sherlock.

Hey guys.
We are arguing with a friend of mine about this "One man weapon of mass destruction" thing.
What do they mean with this phrase? Like there is a man who is so powerfull he can be a weapon of mass destruction? Or there is a man who posesses such a weapon?

I'm not the biggest trekky, but I remember my pops taking me to see all the next generation movies and I liked the reboot. I used Wiki to find Gary Mitchell's backstory, this sounds badass.

STAR TREK The old Series (TOS) Synopsis episode with Gary Mitchel. found on Ex Astris Scientia (UBER TREK WEBSITE, one of the best..)

WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE Stardate 1312.4: On the way to the Galactic Barrier the Enterprise picks up a disaster recorder from the old Earth ship S.S. Valiant that disappeared 200 years ago, indicating that something related to extrasensory perception (ESP) happened to the crew. The Enterprise crosses the barrier nonetheless, whereby nine crew members are killed and the engines burn out. Moreover Kirk's old friend Gary Mitchell begins to develop ESP powers that pose a growing threat to the ship. Kirk assigns psychiatrist Dr. Elizabeth Dehner to observe him. When the Enterprise arrives at the Delta Vega station for repairs, Kirk sees no other way but to exile the dangerous individual that Mitchell has become on the uninhabited planet, with the option to blow up the facility if necessary. Mitchell, however, kills Lt. Kelso and escapes with Dehner who too has mutated in the meantime. Kirk goes after them with a phaser rifle, but Mitchell easily anticipates the attack and prepares to execute his old friend. Dehner, with what is left of her humanity, decides to help the captain and weakens Mitchell at the expense of her own life so Kirk can kill him.

"This episode is a Template for alot of Star Trek episodes, ALOT!"..
"So glad the writers keep sticking to TOS"

For Benedict Cumberbatch to grab Spock by throat like that means he aint no ordinary human.

I'm just happy the villain isn't Khan. Gary Mitchell is fine. He only cropped up in one episode of TOS, using Mitchell in this could allow for more character development for him

It sounds like the 'Galactic Barrier' storyline.
