Beyond shouldve been a TOS mash up

maybe that's what Beyond should been - more a celebration of everything TOS like a big screen version of the game. similar plot of the Ent vs the Doomsday Machine trying to stop it despite the klingons and encountering all sorts of TOS stuff along the way -cloud killer, gorns, romulans, tholians, duplicate Kirk, Garth, Losira, Charlie, balok, guardian, salt vampire, talosians, mudd, rapid ageing (shatner/takei/konig/nichols cameos), korby/andrea/ruk, horta, trelane, vaal, wildwest, Atoz, nomad, mugatos, space amoeba, paradise spores, vasquez rocks etc all the iconic TOS stuff linked in a gigantic mash up. they put stuff like that in that 25th anniversary game (and others like it) to appeal to fans and everyone maybe that's what shudve happened for the 50th anniversary movie
