It's been four long years since the last Star Trek film. The excitement is palpable now that we're only one week away from re-entering the 23rd century in wunderkind JJ Abrams' Star Trek Into Darkness. Despite some spoilers we still have more questions than answers. (Thankfully.)

Here are some questions we can answer without spoilers: Does the entire cast of the first film return? Well, yes, all the regulars you'd expect like Sulu, Uhura, Chekov, and Scotty. Even Keenser, the Roylan engineer played by one-time Oompa-Loompa Deep Roy, is back. Perhaps Leonard Nimoy will cameo as Spock Prime, as he's known to the fanboys to differentiate him from Zachary Quinto's Spock in the movies' alternate timeline. (If you don't understand that timey-whimey techno-babble, just nod along like you're watching a cat GIF.)

Other important questions about Star Trek Into Darkness we're dying to have answered include who exactly does Benedict Cumberbatch really portray in this movie? (Is he Khan? Gary Mitchell? Harry Mudd? Q? All of the above?) Will James Tiberius Kirk get any action? (Duh.) What "V" words will poor, adorable Chekov mispronounce? (Our bet is on "vector." Or "villain." Maybe both.)

So this poll is for both casual and hardcore Trekkies. Regardless of the unknowns, you can be confident in answering the perennial questions that surround this franchise of TV shows and motion pictures, which now spans 46 years and counting. Everyone has an opinion on what the best aspects of Star Trek have been over the decades, and we want to know what PCMag's smart and loyal readers think. Take a few moments to answer our questions and next week we'll reveal what you consider the best and worst of the past, what you want from the future (for both the franchise and the world at large!), and which tech you'd want most from the world of Star Trek.
