[QUOTE]Originally posted by Masao: [QB] I am worried about this "all new villain" thing. New villains seem to come in only a few types. There are Whale song probes, Vgers, and the Planet Killer who, like Godzilla and Gamera, are nearly omnipotent but actually are just misunderstood. All the drama results from our heroes' reaction to the danger. Then there are 2-bit villains like those skin-stretchers from Insurrection or the Kazon. To make them different from existing adversaries, you have to make them very weird. Since they are new, they have to be in a previously unknown area of space, they had to have travelled over long distances to get to the Federation, or they were minor power that are now big players. They have to really want something that no one has really wanted before, like newly discovered paradise planets or amazing new devices. This means they most pre-existing conflicts have to be thrown out or are not the main story. Or you can go the random "mad scientist," terrorist, or misunderstood megalomaniac route, like Soran. But then you have a James Bond movie. For these reasons and because they always try to attract people who don't actually watch Star Trek (what's the point?), they can't use too much from the TV show. However, First Contact used the Borg and was much better than either Generations or Insurrection. But I think the Dominion War continuity will be considered too difficult for the movie-going public to understand, so it'll be ignored for the most part. So within these pretty narrow parameters, any one has any good ideas for ST X? [/QB][/QUOTE]
