Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think his main concern is that the major series is Lost and that J.J. is CLEARLY just picking people he's worked with

But, and my reading comprehension is clearly off today so don't hesitate to correct me, he notes that JJ doesn't have a history of doing that, despite Pegg and Saldana having worked with him before.

But since Abrams hasn't been signed, the story hasn't been chosen, and there's no reliable cite for Carbonell being cast, I'm just unsure why he's working so hard for a controversy.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Didja guys know NC went to Harvard? He was a FOAF before getting famous.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Correct. I think his ~*fear*~ is that this rumored casting (coupled with bringing Damon Lindelof on) is a change in that behavior.

Pageviews.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Does it even make sense to have Khan as a major character? Unless the Federation goes and finds him just to fuck with him. "Ha ha - we know everything that you're going to try to do!"

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Unless the Federation goes and finds him just to fuck with him. "Ha ha - we know everything that you're going to try to do!"

I would watch that movie.

Maybe in the altered timeline his schedule is accelerated?

They could stumble across the Botany Bay sooner than in TOS.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Unless the Federation goes and finds him just to fuck with him. "Ha ha - we know everything that you're going to try to do!"

Ha, that would be awesome.

How would they know? Are you assuming Spock Prime told them?

Yes.

I mean, think of all Spock Prime (that's the old Spock, right?) knows. He'd be morally obligated to report on what he knows - or at least the stuff relating to people who would be killed if he didn't say anything.

I mean, imagine an episode of Angel where no one from Buffy told them that Harmony was a vamp.

OK, bad example....
