Star Trek Countdown Comic Book to Link Post-Nemesis TNG Era to New Movie

Features

By GustavoLeao / 07:09, 18 October 2008 / Star Trek: Nemesis

TrekMovie. com posted more details about Star Trek Countdown, the IDW prequel comic book mini series, focusing on the origins of Romulan villain Nero, written by Mike Johnson and Tim Jones from a story by J.J. Abrams, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurztman with art by David Messina, on sale January 2009. (Beware of minor spoilers)

According to TrekMovie, this comics prequel, which is said to ‘take us right up to the movie,' is primarily set in the time before Nero goes back in time, specifically the Next Generation era after Star Trek Nemesis. The main characters for the prequel will not be the young TOS crew but Nero and the elder Spock (and possibly familiar characters from the TNG era).

Star Trek co-writer Roberto Orci told TrekMovie "["Star Trek: Countdown"] is about how you connect the Next Generation era to our continuity, inspired by when we last saw Mr. Spock in [fifth season TNG episode] "Unification""
 
More details can be found at TrekMovie.

Concerning the timecops stepping in, they may recognize the events of this film as a predestination paradox that has to take place for the existing timeline to unfold the way it does.

You'd think those 30th century time cops would monitor the situation and prevent it, but then you wouldn't have a movie plot.

They must ensure that the damaged timeline is completely RESTORED... except with better looking costumes, sets and props.

Poor Enterprise (Possible Spoilers) | Report this post to moderator

I wonder how the Enterprise, barely out of Spacedock with a crew of young officers and cadet Kirk in command, and not Pike, will confront Nero post-Nemesis timeship Warbird. Tough times ahead for the NCC 1701, I guess.

Thanks to ENT, I'm still nervous about restarting a potential franchise on a movie where time travel is the core reason for the plot to be set into motion. But I've got my fingers crossed!


Voyager made it an overused cliche long before ENT came along.
