The chatter among Star Trek fans is all about the announcement that J.J. Abrams will produce a new Star Trek film, due to come out sometime in 2008. According to the early buzz, the new film will be a prequel to The Original Series, involving the first meeting between James Kirk and Spock.
Just to confuse things a bit, although he doesn’t deny being involved in a Trek film, Abrams says those reports were the result of media speculation.
So, I did some research and checked with my various contacts out there in the world. Here’s what I found out:
What really happens in the next Trek movie is that Stacy has finally had enough of Han’s dalliances with Leia and flies off to Farspace Starbase Earhart in the Alpha Quadrant. After a fight with her new boyfriend, a red-haired Starfleet Officer nicknamed “Johnny”, Stacy accidentally spills her drink on a Nausican crewman. Johnny comes to her defense and during the ensuing melee receives a stab wound that results in his heart being replaced with an artificial organ.
Shaken by her role in Johnny’s near death, Stacy returns to her own galaxy to attempt a reconcilation with Han and Johnny goes on to lose his hair at a rigged dabo table (it was some very strange betting to be sure) but eventually takes command of a Starship.
On a like, totally unrelated note, Atom Films has put Return of Pink Five, Volume 1, online:
