For today's topic on Starfleet Forumdock, I am curious about what are your predictions about the plot for the upcoming Star Trek movie Star Trek Into Darkness, that is after hearing about the movie's premise and seeing the trailers. Don't worry if your predictions contradict others' views as they don't need to be right or wrong since the movie itself is not officialy out yet; they're just guesses, not a means to give away spoilers. If you want, you can talk about what predictions that came in mind about the coming film based on your reading of the film's 4-issue prelude comic book miniseries Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness, which completed its on on April 10, 2013, that is if you have yet read the whole thing.
As for me, my predictions about the coming film's plot are:
- Spock will die (considering the part in the trailer where Spock puts his hand on the glass facing towards Kirk and the part where Scotty tries to comfort Uhura), thus breaking his no-sacrifice no-risk taking promise to Uhura in the final issue Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness.
- The U.S.S. NCC-1701 suffers destruction (considering had badly damaged it looked in one of the terrorism scenes featured in the trailer), with Kirk gaining command of a new ship (a new Enterprise or not) after proving his worth of being a commanding officer in Starfleet.
- Admiral Christopher Pike will face his moment of getting radiated on his skin so as a next step of his disfigurement, allowing way for a future issue of IDW's ongoing comic book series Star Trek to be able to present its own take of the Star Trek: The Original Series two-parter "The Menagerie".
- Considering what happened in Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness, it's likely that John Harrison is associated with Robert T. April's rogue army and plots revenge for his capture by Starfleet authorities after April gets executed for his crimes[/SPOLIER].
- Since the second issue of Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness revealed that Robert. T. April commanded an Enterprise years before the launch of the NCC-1701 within the timeline of the alternate reality established in 2009's Star Trek, the movie will provide more background on this early Enterprise (including registry number) at some point.

So far, I launched The DC and Marvel Heroes Forum (the forum post series for DC and Marvel Assemble) and Forum Arcadia (the forum post series for Leijiverse 999). Now today, Star Trek Nation will have its own forum post series launched, titled "Starfleet Forumdock". This forum post series, though not to run daily, will center each post around a Star Trek-related topic, with you, the readers, to post your comments on the topic itself in the comment box attached.
For the opening post of this forum series, you are invited to share your thoughts about the Star Trek T.V. series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, which turned 20 back in January. As you take part in the discussion, here are some questions to think about: What are your favorite ST: DS9 moments or episodes? Who are your favorite characters in the series? What are your thoughts on the series' story and character development? Do you feel the show could have ran for more seasons than it already had, or do you feel it could have had any movie sequels? Was it amoung the best Star Trek series you've seen? Have you read any novels and/or comics that tie-in to the T.V. series itself, and if so, any favorite stories? What are your thoughts about Benjamin Sisko as a Starfleet space station/starship commanding officer? Do you like the idea of a Star Trek T.V. series using a space station as a main setting throughout?
