As much as I loved the reboot, I really hope they don't insert Khan into the next one. I'm watching Wrath of Khan for the first time in years, and its just an amazing movie. Back when movies used the best special effects they could, but didn't rely on them to make up for plot(see: every director since CGI was invented).

From what I've heard, it will be a Khan episode, but it might be more prequel (ie the episode where they meet them and end up stranding them) rather than a remake of Wrath of Khan.

Well it would have to be a prequel, wouldn't it? The funny thing is, wasn't Nero kind of like Khan in reverse? IIRC Khan was an enhanced human from the past looking for revenge... whereas Nero was a working class guy from the future seeking revenge.

really? I haven't heard anything and I've been trying to keep up to date on it, and last I heard the reason its getting pushed out to likely 2012 is that they were having arguments about the script, I think the whole Khan thing is fan fueled atm, though it could be a good thing because then it's more likely JJ Abrams will direct it again
I personally would love to see something new, time is now off balance and anything can happen! why do we need to redo Khan when it would be so hard to live up to the perception in people's minds?

Name recognition. Branding is the only reason all these things are being rebooted anyway. Most people would know the name Khan, but have very little to no knowledge of the actual character, let alone preconceived notions going into it. Though I agree with you that something original would be better.

I bet they scrap it and do an updated borg movie.
It would make for a cooler trailer.

I don't think many even remember Khan from the original series, so they can do a bit of it, but I think the real story will be the final battle when he returns.

They rebooted the series so they could do something new with it....
Why the hell would they just start doing remakes? That's stupid.
