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""

Maybe he was back at the Academy for advanced training, sort of like the graduate-level War Colleges run by the current-day US military services.

Political tags-such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth-are never basic criteria.
The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

According to the Entertaiment Weekly spoilers, Kirk is just a cadet when he sits in the captain's chair. So this movie may take place before Kirk serving on the U.S.S. Republic and the U.S.S. Farragut, pre-The Cage. Or it is indeed a alternate timeline caused by the destruction of the Kelvin and the death of George Kirk, as some have speculated.

Time will tell.

He taught at the academy as a lieutenant and narc'd on Ben Finney (maybe on the Republic), and served under Capt. Garrovick on another ship, but all that history could be changed if Jim's evil uncle/stepfather has anything to do with it.

I'm wondering if they kill George thinking Jim will never be born, but then we find out Mom got impregnated just before George shipped out.

That's the fun of the months leading up to a new movie! All the theories and speculation! Usually different parts of people's guesses pan out.

"Outer Space: The Last Frontier.
These are the trips of the Star Trek Enterprise. Its five year plan calls for us to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly fly where no man has gone in space. Live long, and be happy."
