Final scenes of JJ Trek


The heavily damaged Enterprise (refitted to look more like movies I-VI) is in its final battle with long haired bare chested Khan (Benedict Cumberbatch) and his army of renegade Klingon followers led by Commander Kruge (Jason Moma). Alone, with what was left of the crew evacuated and his bridge crew dead, Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) in a final act of desperation puts the ship on auto destruct and sets the Genesis II carrying enterprise at the centre of a nearby nebula - on the burning bridge he fires all weapons at the armada of ships closing in as onscreen he watches the shuttle pod carrying Carol (Alice Eve) and infant son David escape to safety.... As the enterprise finally destroys Kruge's bird of prey, Kirk sets a collision course with Khans stolen Federation ship USS Reliant which has followed the enterprise into the nebula, and diverts all remaining power to forward phasers....Khans chilling voice is heard on speakers goading Kirk as he sits in the command chair for the final time and launches into a big KHHAAAAAN!! yell... And then, just before everything is about to go kaboom, the burned, bloodied, shirt ripped Kirk closes his eyes and reaches into his pocket..we see a strange look on his face. He pulls out a marshmallow, and starts to hear a overpowering loud noise BRRRRAAAWWWWW!!! then what sounds like Bones shouting 'Get that damn light outta ma face!'....

cut to:
Kirk (CG 1989 William Shatner) awaking hungover in his sleeping bag by the deafening noise of a shuttlecraft landing. Empty bottles of bourbon and Romulan Ale surround him along with a copy of Quantum Mechanics Monthly and a bag of half eaten marsh 'melons' near the campfire.

A silver haired Uhura (CG 1989 N Nichols) appears out of the trees and we see Kirk, Spock and Bones (CG 1989 Nimoy and Kelley) enter the shuttlecraft. As they leave we see a marshmallow roasting on the fire, but the movie ends before we actually see it burn completely leaving it ambiguous whether he was still dreaming or not.

That may be the best thing I've ever read in my life.

thank you 

did you get the Inception style dream logic of the OP?

-khan & kruge, kirks 2 greatest enemies (who both wanted genesis) teaming up would have a nightmarish quality to it
-dying alone (discussed around the campfire in V)
-genesis and its imminent destruction in the nebula recall Khans demise (although inversed like the Kirk/Spock end in STID - this time its Kirk not Khan)
-the Ents imminent destruction recalls the nightmarish events of III
-dream/wish fulfilment of saving David
-Carol & Davids escape as he fends of attack/collision course to enemy ship recall his own escape with his mother and his fathers heroism (although hed be dreaming of what hed previously dreamt as the events of ST09 would only exist in Kirk Primes dream)
-Romulan ale & reading QM Monthly before falling asleep = what sets off the whole dream of Nero and changed timeline
-reason why so much stuff in ST09/STID were call backs to events already gone by = because it was all a dream of Kirk Prime
-"life is but a dream" sung and being discussed just before falling asleep & the whole Trek V is a dream thing ( the 'Trek V is a dream' theory)

As you can see I put quite abit of thought into it...probably abit too much 

reply

Indeed

reply

Pretty ingenious.... fold the entire new trilogy into the prime timeline and get back to normal....

those would totally be the things Kirk would be dreaming about at that point too, considering II-V all happened during the span of a few months.... that is a LOT for one man to process and handle. Dream coping is beyond realistic, especially the Carol/David stuff.

Yep you get it man. You get it

Let me add that the time travel and fear of timeline reset issue would be super fresh and clear in his mind after the events of "The Voyage Home" .....

reply

that's a good observation I hadn't thought of that. esp that strange CG wax heads morphing dream he had with the future voices as they were going back

reply

I also blame that time jump for Uhura going grey so quickly after their return.

A shared dream, maybe, due to psychic bonds? Or dream-in-a-dream? Kirk gets woken up from the "new trilogy" dream to live the "TFF/ShakaRee" dream? :D

Really, though, the loss of Vulcan, in a dream of Kirks, could still be the death of Spock; #1 without vulcan there would be no ressurection in III, or #2) to Kirk, "Vulcan" is associated with Spock; Spock is the face of all Vulcans, or all Vulcans that matter, in Kirk's eyes, so the death of Vulcan, was still more subconscious death of Spock stuff....

Yes, Khan would also be in the dream, having had such an affect upon Kirk's recent life. Bizarrely in the dream it is Kirk who dies instead of Spock. But this is clearly the dream manifestation of Kirk wishing he could have traded places with Spock.

Exactly that was the idea

Bozo 500, I think you may have invented something that could go viral! 😀 Abrams may have to make a statement that the dream idea is nonsense! 😀 We all know better though, because there are too many sheer coincidences for it not to be a dream! 😀


LOL Yes indeed!

I do wonder if it actually might be a dream of Spock's though, because Kirk is a bit busy dreaming his Sha-Ka-Ree rubbish! 😀 The destruction of Vulcan the result of bourbon and beans: "an explosive combination".

Like I said... Too many coincidences! 😀

Well... this next post explains it

A shared dream, maybe, due to psychic bonds? Or dream-in-a-dream? Kirk gets woken up from the "new trilogy" dream to live the "TFF/ShakaRee" dream? :D



yes that was the idea, Shatner Kirk wakes up from his JJ trilogy dream into his 'Final Frontier' dream - a dream within a dream!

Really, though, the loss of Vulcan, in a dream of Kirks, could still be the death of Spock; #1 without vulcan there would be no ressurection in III, or #2) to Kirk, "Vulcan" is associated with Spock; Spock is the face of all Vulcans, or all Vulcans that matter, in Kirk's eyes, so the death of Vulcan, was still more subconscious death of Spock stuff....

Interesting theory...

yes, of course the full 'original crew' movie experience would be to watch Trek I, II, III, IV, JJ Trilogy, Trek V and VI 

reply

this could be the premise that could tie in with the end scenes in the OP:
