"STAR TREK Into Darkness" - 2013

Also, Khan is more Turkish, Muslim, or Mongol. It's actually not that Indian at all. So Khan singh isn't in and of itself a Indian name.

That being said, I think it's dumb bordering on idiotic for him to be khan. Sure it's another universe and you can change things because it's a blank canvas. but for me it's like putting a rhino in a prom dress. There is no need for it. You can be an augment in star trek without being Khan and the story won't suffer for it. I really don't like the idea at all and I'm fine with other genetic augments doing their thing. If he's an augment, I'd be happier if he wasn't khan. If you are going to have a completely different origin, timeline, and attitude, why try to shoehorn a name into it that isn't needed?

The name Khan can also be symbolic as it means "ruler" and we all know he saw himself as such a being.

This is what I've been suggesting or thinking for awhile now. That either Harrison ends up dubbing himself with the title Khan or someone else does.

Of course - maybe he really is Gary Mitchell? LOL! ;)

I was giving more on the surname Singh which is predominantly associated with Indian Sikhs, but yes the main point is why recycle the name in the first place when they could do a fantastic augment storyline that harkens back to TWOK as Rico described.

J.J, Abrams Talks Klingons, Alice Eve In 'Star Trek' Reboot

JJ talks about Klingons and Carol Marcus...I love how we keep getting little bread crumbs now!

I'm starting to admire JJ more and more for trying the best he can for keeping things under wraps. It can't be easy these days to do that and also pump up excitement for the movie too.

Watched it early this morning on my iPad when I was getting ready for work. Could this movie look any more awesome?!!?!? I don't think so. Mmmm, Alice Eve. "How you doin'?" ;)
