[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] It's not a counterproductive use of a TV show reference by any means, but it's not the dramatically best possible choice, either. I saw TMP and ST2 before seeing any TOS, and while the character dynamics in both were fairly straightforward and quickly outlined, most of my buddies were left wondering why Khan was so angry at Kirk. The concept of a space pirate thwarted by the hero fifteen years before opening credits, and now seeking a rematch, is quite acceptable; but it also makes the task of fleshing out the villain harder, since either there's too much exposition to be done first, or then too little is done and the villain is left "unfounded". Khan was okay, and perhaps better than Kruge due to having a background - but Kruge could have been introduced as an "old nemesis" easily enough, too. I'd have had no big problems with that. The Borg were very smoothly used as familiar villains, too. It's the Sela scenario I was truly frightened about, and IMHO the use of a never before seen villain was a vital dramatic choice here, a saving grace in a relative dramatic disaster. More Romulans and less Remans would have been nice, perhaps - but NEW Romulans, rather than rehashes by Crosby or Katsulas or somebody else semi-notorious from the TV show.
