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!"

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

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

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

I would watch that movie.

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

Ha, that would be awesome.

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

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....

I would have thought he'd be worried about changing the course of events, but I think he said at the end that it was not a concern of his? Since it's an alternate reality, time paradoxes are not an issue, but still.
There's a discussion going on elsewhere about morality, and now I'm just glad I don't have to make any important decisions about the fate of anyone's lives because I am very confused.

Oh, I don't know about that.
Did he go to live with the Vulcan colony that the survivors established, or is that something I picked up from fanfic?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
You know, it's nice to see that I am not the only person that confuses what I've seen in canon and what I've read in fanfic.
