theferrett asked what we'd like to see in the next Star Trek movie. "What Star Trek plotline/bad guy would you like them to haul out and refurbish, and why? ... (Of course, they could choose to eschew all continuity and go with yet another new baddie of their own, but where's the fun in extrapolating that?) ... Also, I'd like for Uhura to actually have a plot, thankew." I copy-pasted what I've said about Uhura and Spock earlier, and went on:

As for storylines and returning villains, I've seen J.J. Abrams quoted second or seventh hand that Khan is one return villain he's considering. I'd rather see a whole new plot, but including tantalizing, throwaway lines in the script suggesting that the crew is reliving the old adventures but they never go quite the way they did in the other history branch.

And I'd like eventually to see time travel to/from the future to see whether Picard, Sisko and/or Janeway exist in this history branch. The second movie might be too soon for this, developmentally, but the cast at least is contracted for three so there'll be another.
