Turns out that movie trailer is just a holodeck experience.

SPOCK'S BRAIN: THE MOTION PICTURE

also, considering the age of Quinto , this would def. seem to put the academy ideas out of scope, he's too old. I guess he still looks younger than nimoy did around the first season though. who knows? it would make more sense to set this before the first film but after the series.
now I feel like a 12 year old again!
― akm, Friday, 27 July 2007 14:25 (sixteen years ago) link
this should be cool, it's nice to see them send nimoy off into retirement. i'd be surprised if they fuck this film up, since star trek's cultural capital is about as low as it can be right now.
i dunno, i think the true nadir was when Star Trek: Nemesis came out

Russell Crowe -- the new Ricardo Montalban or the new F. Murray Abraham?

"They want him to zoom through that black hole as the dude in the black hat."
otoh I have no idea wtf this means
"Trek Begins" is a genuinely stupid, terrible idea. It's possible there are good ideas left in Trek (I've never bothered with the end of Voyager or Enterprise, and definitely never bothered with the books) but I really doubt it.
When DS9 ended I thought maybe a series about non-Star Fleet Federation types (probably diplomats) running around trying to stop the aftermath of the Dominion war from descending into chaos would be a good idea, but I'm not so sure of that anymore. Anyway, no one but total jerkbag obsessives (raises hand) cared about DS9.

it is kinda weird how they deliberately keep trying to go backwards (what with Enterprise and now this). Seems kinda antithetical to Roddenberry's method. I don't think there's any question that, much as I hate Rick Berman, Next Generation was the most succesful of the extensions of the franchise.

TNG is my favorite, even better than the original. I don't get why people are so up on Chuck Norris when superdick Lt. Riker once crescent kicked a guy who fell backward onto a glass or possibly synthglass table and shattered it, Riker all stoic and hatable.

Ep. with the second Riker = so +++ classic bcz Riker's couchehat is cocked at maximum angle. Riker having to interact with his hideous self, and practicing hilarious Klingon tai-chi with Troi that gets 'steamy' in a complete cockdrooping/vagdrying way, and Jordi and Data kind of standing around on some vine planet with question marks over their heads.
― Abbott, Monday, 17 September 2007 20:06 (sixteen years ago) link
HAHA THAT IS THAT EPISODE
couchehat = douchehat

Ryker seems like a total (captain's emergency escape) yacht rock dude of 2398 or whenever it was.

Patton Oswalt was OTM when he explained that the Star Wars prequels sucked because NO ONE CARES WHAT VADER WAS LIKE AS A KID. This will hold true in Star Trek. Why can't they just make another one where Kirk is chopping wood and then Picard shows up and they FIGHT.
― jessie monster, Monday, 17 September 2007 20:24 (sixteen years ago) link
that movie was terrible
― Shakey Mo Collier, Monday, 17 September 2007 20:27 (sixteen years ago) link
That's certainly true. I don't think there's been a half decent star trek movie since the one with Christopher Plummer wearing a riveted-on eyepatch.
― Oilyrags, Monday, 17 September 2007 20:29 (sixteen years ago) link
What, not even First Contact?
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 17 September 2007 20:32 (sixteen years ago) link
I guess that was about half decent.
― Oilyrags, Monday, 17 September 2007 20:33 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah I agree with oilyrags - First Contact is mostly okay and then you get that guy from Babe shouting along to Steppenwolf = ugh

also the totally unnecessary inclusion of Alfre Woodard

I just think its kinda lame and market-driven to make another prequel. The best sci-fi tricks you into looking at the present by projecting a new vision of the future - endlessly rehashing the same old version of the future is sorta counterintuitive.
― Shakey Mo Collier, Monday, 17 September 2007 20:38 (sixteen years ago) link
Does counterintuitive mean boring?
― Oilyrags, Monday, 17 September 2007 20:39 (sixteen years ago) link

Hmmm,
Cardassia:Founders::Iraq:Bush administration...?
Maybe there is some juice in that old idea I mentioned upthread.
― Oilyrags, Monday, 17 September 2007 20:46 (sixteen years ago) link
But then BG would be all like 'been there, done that.'
Enterprise is all about Bakula's Bush-in-Space impression.
It is also terrible.
