---SPOILER WARNING---
"My name rhymes with JOOOOOOOHHHHNNN!" -Khan
It wasn't too hard to see that the main villain was Khan. A flimsy cover up maintained after many had guessed long before the movie arrived on screen. I get that they wanted people to "discover the story" as the main characters did, but seriously, stop covering it up!
Where are the strange new worlds of the final frontier we were promised? I don't know why the creators are trying to stuff references in every 5 minutes, but I would much appreciate it if we could go somewhere that means something. In order for the series to grow, Star Trek needs to stop looking back, and start looking towards where they should be boldly going.
Here's a bunch of miscellaneous thoughts:
- Khan and the Botany Bay should've been found by the Klingons. They are a war focussed culture, Khan is bred for that lifestyle. It gives a reason for him to be a great leader and cause turmoil in their society, then spread it to Starfleet later. Think of the following he could've had- the backing of at least some Klingons that give high honor and respect to the best warriors.
- Bones, instead of scientifically breaking down Khan's magic blood, injects it into a dead Tribble. Who thought of this? Lets test this questionable blood on a hairy chicken nugget. Then much, much later- the Tribble is brought back to life (I personally thought it would be the start of a "Trouble with Tribbles" subplot) and of course, it would be used to revive someone later even though it was shown earlier in the film that the blood has healing properties.
- Starfleet security is shit. Their meeting room has tons of windows, and no flying patrols?
- Parking their ship NEXT to the tribe the crew is trying to save instead of remaining IN ORBIT and OUT OF SIGHT.
- Isn't saving those people ALSO a violation of the Prime Directive?
- Why not beam the bomb into the volcano?
- Kirk's useless death. (see the magic blood) Someone should STAY dead.
- Bones made sythesized Khan blood, now NO injuries will be of threat ever again.
- Spock, when enraged, should've displayed his struggle to contain the anger, and barely audibly whispered, "Khan."
- The transporters can snag people from anywhere, but can only send from the one teleporter bay.
- Chekov could beam 2 falling people, but now he has lost that ability?
