I'm actually planning something like this at the moment guys. Let me just say that I don't think ST6 is a movie that 'needs' editing. I enjoy it just the way it is, I'm just curious how things would go with a few alterations here and there.

I've been thinking about the pink blood issue as one thing to tackle. However a few other minor things would need to be tweaked to acommodate this. In any case I don't understand how changing the blood [to pink] allows for a lesser rating. Go back and watch that part, It's still pretty fucking violent. The gore is cartoon-y but the impact is the same in my eyes.

I am also considering adding in some footage from the star trek: Voyager episode - Flashback. [or was it flashbacks?] = really just the excelsior evading the Klingons. I'm only planning to add this if if works well without disrupting the existing storyline, Other wise ?I'll drop it. I am aware that the episode in question has a few plot inconsistencies with the plot of st6.

The Shakespeare stuff has to stay imo, although i'm a little ambivalent on the Nixon bit. I think it would work much better if only spock says "..an old human proverb..."

Going over my notes those are really the only things I've considered so far, apart from minor things like correcting typos and what not.

I haven't seen the Voyager episode in years so i'm going to go rewatch that and see if there's anything i can do with it.

Anyone else interested in working along side me in this, or even tackling their own version?
