i'm flailing like crazy since i know about Benedict!!

that neck of doom the master mind of the sexy!!, but he is not the khan type, maybe a q? or other villian. because don't ruin him with too much make up a la klingon please.

the other one i only know him from doctor who and i didn't like his character, but that was like 7 years ago so i must have an open mind.

But Benedict, my Sherlock!!!

I'm Dead!!!

YES! I also don't think he's a Khan type - I also thought Q or something. Maybe they'll do an original villain and surprise us all.

Q? OMG I never thought about that! Q and Kirk and Spock at the same time? I might faint or something asdfajjñisjfñ

I can't think of any other villain right now... If anyone has to be Khan, though, it might as well be him! He's not, as you said, Khan type, but well, he's a great actor and I'm sure his Khan would be awesome! :)

yep A bad Q all powerful and messing around, maybe trelane, maybe Q dad or Mom.

an original villian will be awesome, but they did said it will be an old baddy

[lalazee]

LOL, I AGREE. PLEASE, JJ, DON'T LET US DOWN. I know this film can be just as amazing as the first - or, moreso - as long as they don't rush it!

I believe this expresses my sentiments

[coeurdesoleil]

EEEEEEEEEE!!!
I am so excited about both Noel and Benedict (but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the villain won't be Khan). THEY ARE BOTH AWESOME!!!

[lalazee]

Same, I do not want a redo of Khan when there are so many other good baddies to redo - or, my small hope, is that they'll do an original villain, but that seems doubtful at this stage. EITHER WAY, I'M ECSTATIC.

You know- I got a tweet this night, taht I read round 2 a.m., when my bro woke me coming back home and I was so so so SO sure when I woke up later in the morning, that I was having stupid dream, because I watched yesterday latest Sherlock ep.

Just please, not Khan. I'd love to see him as Trelane though O: Or miss Chapel 8D
