I wasn't commenting on your post. Just making a general comment about how some people think entertainment parallels what's needed in reality. And mechs wouldn't be good on a battlefield.

This just shows JJ Abrams is a superficial creature.

JJ Abrams said his TV show Lost was inspired by Rod Serling's Twilight Zone. Just because it has a lot of abnormal weird stuff happening doesn't make it in the same company. I'm a fan of Rod Serling. Lost was no Twilight Zone. Here apparently the new Star Trek movie opens with the Enterprise crew saving a low-tech intelligent life form on a planet that's about to be destroyed by nature but they can't let the life forms know what they're doing because of the Prime Directive. JJ Abrams said he wasn't a Star Trek fan growing up. It's obvious. I'm a sci-fi fan in general and not particularly biased towards Star Trek but I know what the Prime Directive means. Because of the reboot there was talk of a Star Trek universe that had no Prime Directive and you would have a more brutal politically charged Star Trek universe. That would've been fun but of course JJ Abrams is like everyday people who hide behind a cause but don't really know what it's about. Maybe the described clip doesn't reveal a nice twist but it's JJ Abrams so I doubt it. I'll be watching the movie because like I've been known to watch bad TV shows just hoping it would get better. JJ Abrams track record is pretty bad when it comes to adapting already established concepts even though I thought the first one was all right. The villain is rumored to be Khan. Let's see if he ruins the best villian of the Star Trek movies.

I agree that his earlier disinterest shows. The fact is, the Prime Directive would prevent the Federation from even attempting to save that pre-warp world. They dealt with this dilemma back in TNG.

Also, Gary Mitchell is another rumored villain. Such a previously minor character has no worry about being ruined.

Well they're being coy. The Gary Mitchell rumor started because Karl Urban blurted out to the press his name but later said he was playing with the press. Supposedly he's known to lie for fun to the media. Who knows.

Well I just came back from watching The Hobbit on IMAX where they previewed the first 9 mins of Star Trek. I think they might be doing a bait and switch. Clearly the guy that people think is playing Khan or whoever most likely isn't. But they might just haven't shown him yet. Benedict Cumberbatch who people are speculating is playing Khan by the preview maybe his "creator." All they show was him telling a couple that he could save their daughter who's in the hospital either dying or like in a vegetative state. This guy could be the geneticist behind Khan. Some clips have dialog used from Wrath of Khan. And you see in a montage of clips a scene where two hands meet behind glass as in Spock's death scene from Wrath of Khan. Too many references to Khan for it to be nothing.

He wouldn't be "The geneticist behind Khan" because Khan was a product of an era over a century before Kirk.

Aside from that, I agree, there's a lot of things that could be interpreted as Khan references.

Yes I agree but it's JJ Abrams so he could have changed things to his liking. Like the Prime Directive I mention in an earlier post... He definitely doesn't know what the Prime Directive is all about because the scene they show violates the Prime Directive while they keep mentioning in the dialog for them to not violate it.
