You Know What They Call a Quarter Pounder With Cheese on Qo'noS?

So, Tarantino's interested in doing a Star Trek film? You know, I can actually see that working well – he's a man that knows the value of good dialogue, and makes great scenes out of just two people in a room talking, and Star Trek could really use someone who emphasises that again.

You know what I'd love to see? Tarantino's take on “The Conscience of the King”. It's perfect for him – a focus on revenge, long tense confrontations between the hero and the villain, a bit of metatextual writing with the focus on theatres and performances, and sudden, unexpected violence at the end. I think that'd be incredible to see...

Huh. You know, yes, I could totally see that. As long as he doesn't fall into what seems to be the universal temptation for male fanboys - doing a remark of Khan, whether it's called that or not.

Mind you: I should hope Tarantino does a bit more with Leonor and her motivation than the episode. Also, given the quintessential change of Rebootverse's backstory for Kirk, they'd have to change Kirk's own connection to the case accordingly (maybe Wynona instead of George Kirk was stationed on that planet?.

...would QT have Samuel Jackson play Kodos?

I was having a really hard time imagining this, but now that you've said "Conscience of the King," it's making more sense! Long, tense confrontations, theater, and revenge and violence, yes. It could work.

The AOS-verse hasn't covered Kodos, and can't you just see Winona taking angry little Jimmy with her to a posting after that car incident to try to straighten him out? (Oops.) And TOS never mentioned it again after that one episode. A movie-length exploration could be really interesting.
