   This sparked an interesting discussion and sequel idea with some Trekker    
   friends of mine:   
      
     a.. Walter Mallard Thank you, Will, for letting me know this is ready. I    
   have been waiting for it. I read the original Harlan Ellison story, so I am    
   curious to see how it looks as well.

     b.. Will Dockery Walter, the Harlan Ellison story might fit in more with    
   the rebooted Star Trek, since it really was "Into Darkness'. As Spock said    
   "Edith Keeler must die."

     c.. Walter Mallard Ha! Yeah!   
     1 hr + Unlike + 1   
      
     d.. Will Dockery I would like to see a remake of "The Cage" next, Admiral    
   Pike gets injected with some Khan blood, but is so crippled he's alive and    
   well but a veggie in an electric wheelchair. Spock & Kirk, on a tip from    
   Nimoy, take him to Talos IV, where they can have some trouble with Tribbles    
   on the way for comic relief. Meanwhile Dr. Marcus has gone away to have    
   Kirk's son, and maybe Kirstie Alley could step out again as Savik, secret    
   wife of Spock all these years. Along with a lot of J.J. Abrams confusion and    
   lens flares.

     e.. Walter Mallard Ha! That's great! I'll start writing the screenplay    
   immediately!   
     1 hr + Unlike + 1   
      
     f.. Will Dockery They might want to recast the Savik role with a younger    
   babe who can wrestle some of Harry Mudd's Women, and Uhura, and maybe    
   Christine Chapel (?) for the Rebooted Spock's affections, meanwhile Elder    
   Nimoy goes into... Pon Far.

     g.. Walter Mallard That sounds exactly right!   
     51 mins + Unlike + 1   
      
     h.. Will Dockery Not sure if Harlan Ellison ill approve of these changes    
   in his script. Also Edith Keeler needs to come to the future and help save    
   the whales.
